i was just watching the Halo 2 mulitplayer video from e3 and was wonder how great it would be able to Duel-weld two pistols from Halo 1.

Horrible. My entire crew is a crack shot with a pistol. As it is, shortly after a multiplayer match begins people rarely use anything else. Everyone in my group would move to two shot kills instead of the three that we currently do.

i think you can duel weild two pistols in halo 2 but they are not like the ones in halo 1 apparantly (less powerful for a start) duel weilding also severly reduces accuracy so those headshots u love to get would decrease dramatically at far ranges. i doubt you could scope duel weapons either

I agree. The pistol should only be put in if you cant zoom in, and its power was reduced. But it would sill be deadly at close range for people who like up close and personal firefights.

because its supposed to be a weaker weapon in halo 2 and its cooler if its a last stand or if you could put a silencer on it and take outgrunts and stuff secretly

well according to First strike, and a few other sources, there is a new type of pistol, referred to as the magnum pistol, still semi-automatic, it just halves its range, lesser accuracy, smaller clip and much more powerful, with a crapload of kickback. I hope it will be like this, as if you cant get your hands on a dual smg/needler/smg-needler or the new weapons, it would make a good starter when used in tandem with a battle rifle.

If the pistol is stil in the game I wil still use it and make use of its advantages, the pistol is just kick ass.

Me: "OMFG, Dude... wtf!"
AbolitionofMan: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to betray you."
Me: "That's the 4th time in this game alone!"
Chris: "Third, besides he had the flag I was trying to stop him, how was I supposed to know you were there."
Me: "I said, 'I got the Flag, don't shoot.'"
Chris: "Well those Wraith shots take a while to reach you."
Me: "You were right next to me, I had killed him and a minute passed before you decided to shoot."
Chris: "Hahahahaha, yeah... that was great."

Well maybe it will look like something like this. http://www.bungie.net/SlideShow.aspx?Path=/games/Halo&Sli deshow=PreXbox&Slide=56 Since this was what the orginial pistol looked like... maybe they will use a design similar to it in H2....

there is no scope for the pistol is halo 2

SB-117

I think what someone previously said was correct:

Battle Rifle will be the new pistol so that you dont start dual wielding them (making you unstoppable)

Whereas the new SMG takes over the assault rifle (the assault rifle was weak so they allow you to dual wield it in the form of the SMG making it more rapid and less crappy)

I think these are good ideas but perhaps both will return. I liked them both.
