Some say it was to powerful, others say it was perfect, and sadly others thought that it sucked, but why the hell did Bungie take the M6D Human Pistol, from Halo 1, out of Halo 2? Do you think that it should have stayed?

I think the Magnum looks great but the original will always be the best.

No no no no no no no. It was way overpowered, just for once I'd like to see people use a different gun.

It was overpowered. The whole point of the weapon selection in Halo was balance. No weapon was supposed to be perfect, and none was meant to be carried through the whole game. The pistol sees the most use of any weapon in Halo. It's overpowered. It does not belong.

An interview I read with the halo staff said that the M6D was swapped to the BR in halo 2 (not the AR swapping to the BR), because most new kids would use the Assault Rifle in areas where the seemingly inferior M6D would be far more appropriate.

It had to be removed or toned down.

I mean, how many other games gave you the overall best gun in the game at the very start?

i am very happy about bungie's desicion to remove the M6D pistol. although the pistol was by far my favoriute weapon in multiplayer halo it just wasn't fair to have one weapon that can dominate every other weapon's overall performance. i am very glad that the magnum has replaces the M6D pistol in halo 2, maybe this time around players will be able to win with other weapons aside from the pistol. :)
