The pistol in H2 is more rapidfire than the H1 pistol, it can be dual wielded, and it's much more accurate than full-auto SMG. They're quite ferocious at close to mid range, they just dont have any sniping potential anymore. Of course, dual Plasma Rifles do pretty much the same thing and are probably better.

The funny thing about people who complain about the lack of M6D Pistol in Halo2 is that there's a weapon that performs exactly the same function. If you took a Halo1 M6D, and turned every shot into a 3-shot burst, it would be the same thing as the Halo2 Battle Rifle.

I'm enjoying Halo2 a lot. I think a lot of people are pissed because the storyline

i've played through a few levels of Halo2, and while cool, I wasn't impressed to the level I thought I would be. I think of it as an expansion pack to Halo1...some new features, slightly better graphics, and re-balancing.
so i overall give it a 7/10...with most of that coming from the fun/cool single player.
i say worth buying, playing, having fun with, but not worth all the hype.

and yeah, the pistol in halo1 was horrible. no reason it should have ever been that powerful....but i want my assault rifle back!

...and it still won't make me dinner. In fact, I haven't eaten anything for 2 days now because, even though I bitch to no end about this game, I can't stop playing it. Heck, with the energy sword I can pwn just about anyone in xbl multiplayer. My stats rock, but the game still sux0rs.

In Spite,

Just a comment on multiplayer and the energy sword

Yeah..I can usually stick a plasma to em but if they lunge it blows up on top of me anyway.

Sorry but most of this post is going to be spoiler mode. I finished the campaign mode so here goes:

I love reading how people have reacted to this game. I was uber-excited like everyone else and I had a very weird experience the first time I played it because of that. To be honest I think I was hoping for Halo 1.5. Same fun, just more of it. Instead I got an entirely new Halo (Halo 2) and it caught me off guard at first. I wrote an article about it on my blog. I won't reproduce it here, click it if you want, it's spoiler free.

In the article I don't mention the exact point at which I changed from: I'm not sure how I feel about this to holy crap, this is incredible.

Here it is:

Yeah, I was a little unsure at first: This is unfamiliar, don't like these new weapons, want my nice, smooth, bright, old Halo back.

And then, suddenly:

See, that's why I gotta keep hoofing it on the campaign, instead of getting slaughtered on multi. Those spoiler boxes HAUNT me.

This game is truly incredible! I have only recently begun to apprecite the 1st halo, but I am hooked here! Will it completely replace halo1 in multiplay? Not entirely... I still like many of the different things/maps of 1, but that is not because of a lack in 2!
