Lol if they do anything to the pistol they need to buff it by removing the bloom. Nerf the AR. No reason that thing should be killing as far away as it does and gets a headshot bonus. This isn’t CoD or Battlefield.

Agreed getting shot across map with pistol 
is a joke. Also it seems to be pc players that use it a lot needs nerf

Halo 3 was the only game in the entire franchise with a Pistol that had a slower TTK than the BR/DMR and AR.
And aside from 3 and 4, the Pistol has had a TTK no more than .1s slower than the Sidekicks, and as fast as .5s faster. (H3’s was abysmally slow, it was still slower than the Sidekick Dual Wielded, and 4’s was 1.55s, but was still faster than every primary loadout weapon in the game except the Suppressor, and nobody uses the Suppressor because it sucks)
Gun needs a ROF cap.

Either nerf it or bring back the AR headshot damage buff.
I run into too many cases where it fires faster than my AR, which I think is some Controller / PC Mod.
It sounds like a Machine Gun, whereas when I fire it on my Console, it’s about 1/4 the speed.

No more nerfs for anything!
I don’t think the sidekick is too bad but a small reduction in maximum rate of fire is probably a good idea. Just a small one though that won’t even effect the vast majority of players. Either that or a greater accuracy reduction only at very high rates of fire.

I mainly hip fire with all weapons cause I’m just veteranized in the ways of old Halo lol.
But for reals I use whatever weapon I know is going to give me an edge over my opponent, wether that be using the AR, Sidekick, BR, Bulldog, Disruptor, Mangler, Sniper, Shock Rifle, Stalker Rifle, SPKNr, Heatwave, Cindershot, Hydra, or Commando.
Point is I have skill with all weapons due to tons of amount spent in Weapon Drills I’ve 3 starred everything except for plasma pistol cause the gun sucks.
My main way of killing is hip firing with good ol BR. True halo veteran skill.
Raider out.
