While this is chronologically true, Bungie has previously stated that their decision to replace the pistol with the BR was made because a lot of people used the inferior AR over the pistol since one was a "rifle" and the other was a small handgun. Although I highly doubt anyone but the most casual of gamers would use logic like this as opposed to testing out each weapon, this is the logic Bungie operates under, and I believe it is safe to say the H:CE pistol will not be returning in Halo Reach.

With this in mind, I do hope they bring back a weapon of similar feel to the H:CE pistol. I'm sick of the 3-shot-burst and would be really happy if Bungie implemented a 12 bullet, single-shot rifle. A "Human Carbine" wouldn't have to deal with bullet spread and would still qualify for Bungie's silly requirement of "being a big gun." It could also presumably act as a "precursor" to the BR, if they really wanted to go that way. I don't really care too much for the story line of the Halo Universe, but this just seems to make sense for me.

Also... I would like it if the weapon were actually "accurate." I remember in H:CE, if you lined your pistol up against a wall and pulled the trigger 12 times, all your bullet holes would be in a neat little cluster. I don't care how small they have to make the reticle to balance it out: I want a gun that puts bullets where I placed them.

I WILL NOT buy Reach when it comes out. In fact I probably never will considering it will just be another watered down, pathetic game riding the success of Halo: CE.

I hated Halo 2 when it came out, but I gave Bungie the benefit of the doubt and told myself that no matter what, I could buy Halo 3, and like it. Apparently I lied to myself.

I'm pretty sure at E3 that bungie said they brought the pistol back in reach. It should be like that pistol in firefight, but if it is that means it has recoil =/

Yea not the halo 1 pistol thats for sure, but besides the point it should be a great game.

Actually in Halo: First Strike - The remaining spartans that survived being glassed by the covenant actually found some Battle Rifles in one of the underground bases on Reach. So your theory is busted.

Stop turning this into a CE > H2 > h3. It's annoying and just a matter of opinion.
