I’ve been in both flights and I have to say that pistol is too ridiculous it’s beats every other weapon in the game. It just halo combat evolved levels of overpowered I feel. 1 of my friends who hasn’t played halo online in years even says it looks like 2004 all over again with its power levels.
It doesn’t though?
the pistol is really really bad though lmao.
I’m afraid I have no idea what you’re talking about. It takes about seven shots to head to kill someone with shields using the pistol in this game. CE had a much shorter kill time than that. The reason why these players are so good with the pistol is because they most likely do drills and training against ai with them. That or they just simply pick off targets when they know they have low shields. I know pull out my pistol sometimes when I know the other player has low or no shields
The pistol is limited in it’s range and clip size, and is also easy to spam, miss, then have to reload. The pistol take a lot of trigger discipline and practice.
I’m gonna jump back on this flight tonight and I’ll count them but am sure the ttk with it too fast also it seems like it’s the only weapon being used unless your caught spawning with the AR
It’s quickly become the go to weapon…
I don´t get it why someone could complain aboutz the Pistol now.
Yes it shoots fast but you also need to hit every shot to get the kill.
I hated the old CE Pistol because you never needed an other weapon…
Now this pistol is good if your skill is higher. so just a rewarding weapon when you have the skill.
But if you find a BR you will always swap to that.
In my opinion the pistol is perfect now! Please don´t change anything with it. Otherwise I will be very mad 
I don’t think the pistol should outperform an AR at close range when the AR player starts shooting first. That has happened way too many times to me. I start shooting them from behind about 5-10 ft away and yet they still are able to kill me.

I Agree, I’ve been on both sides of the equation I have been beaten by the pistol in close range when using an AR and the other way around. Maybe with one more shot to kill will make it balanced.
The pistol loses all aim assist outside red reticle range. I literally have to lower my sensitivity to 1 to be able to land shots consistently on controller.
It’s either bugged or in need of an aim assist bump for controller players. It’s just too weak.
The pistol is in a perfect place IMO. It’s best for close to mid-range combat and loses all effectiveness at distance. The magazine is small and you need to land the majority of your shots with the last 1/2 being headshots for a kill. This coming from a PC player, I can’t speak for the console experience.
The pistol is super weak it takes 10 body shots to kill someone or 7 to the head. Not saying it’s bad just tremendously annoying if an assault rifle can out perform at midrange engagement.
