there will be a bigger and badder pistol like 1/3 bigger. In the books they said the slug was as big as one of the spartans thumbs. so if it was 1/3 biiger and the normal pistol round is 12m it would end up being 16m. the sniper is only 14.5m

Bungie are going to keep all the weapons from halo in halo 2 pluw new ones as well as ones for the pc version. Expect the flamethrower the fuel rod and also bungie has confirmed there will be a catapult.

Also there will be a sling shot and you will be able to shot cats that are on fire at the covenant.

how can you be certain? you guys arent exactly "from the source" material. from what I've seen it looks like theyre replacing it with the battle rifle.

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."

In FS... it tells us about the Battle Rifle and the new pistol. It's a Magnum Pistol...supposed to be stronger... but with a really strong recoil... and I think smaller clip. The point it... it most likely will not have a scope, will not be very accurate down range.... but will be very deadly in close quarters fighting... perhaps almost as damaging as a shotty....

Did Bungie say that that pistol would be put into the game? I think not.

No.... 1/3 bigger meaning in overall length. Not barrel size. If you had a gun that had a barrel that size to fire 16m rounds... you could practaclly put a baby's fist into it.... not gonna happen... it's just a longer barrel and overall size to compensate for the use of magnum rounds...

I never heard them deny it either.... look whether they take it out or not I could care less... I just want the d@mn thing, (if it's in the game), to be not so overally powerful. Like in Halo.. the thing can zoom when it DOESN'T HAVE A SCOPE ON IT..... and it can kill across maps like a sniper rifle... just make it a strong close quarters weapon or take it out.... I'll be happy either way..

the pistol is arguably the best weapon in halo. is bungie going to swap it out with the battle rifle, or will the pistol still exist?

I think i heard that they were ganna make the pistol but they were going to tone it down a bit and the scope wouldnt be there.

the pistol should be in the game, but it should be radically modified to eliminate the unbalancedness (yes i did just make that up) personally I thinkk that bungie should eliminate the scope, power it up lower the number of rounds in the maazine, and severly lower the accuracy. but thats just me, anyone else agree?

There is no confirmation on anything. All we know is there are new weapons and many of the old are returning. Bungie only tells us about the new because that is what the majority of fans want to hear.

I would rant on how it would not work into the story and how I would attack Bungie with my mini-army if they took out the MA5B and M6D, but that is for another day.

Here just read my signature. That is the best evidence I have of the old guns returning.

As for taking out the scope? Hell no. Keep the scoped pistol and add the new one from First Strike. No need to get rid of anything. Even with new weapons it'll all be balanced.

That's because of it being over powered.... If it's going to be in the game, Bungie isn't telling us jack about what they're doing to it...

Hikaru, how do you know what'll be balanced? None of us have seen all the weapons yet! I'm going to go out on a limb and make a personal prediction that there will be no pistol, or assualt rifle as we know them, in Halo 2. If i'm wrong u can tar and feather me.

if the old weapons are back in i doubt the pistol will be exactly the same (or they'll call it the M4D or something lame to explain the less power. i think there will be no changes to the MA5B though

Or just keep the name and lessen the power in MP.

i heard that the pistol will not be in halo 2. They mention it in the halo 2 e3 interview which can be found at:

I'm surprised Hikaru didn't give a long speech about how it would be nearly impossible to re-arm all the UNSC marines with new weapons within the timespan of Halo: CE, argue the balance of the pistol or bring up one of his damage charts. Oh well, maybe next time.

The pistol should be kept for all the reasons I mentioned. If you can't see that for yourself you probably wouldn't even understand when it was explained to you.
