"343 Industries, I am just like anyone else who played the beta. The bourgeoisie has instructed me to pass along an order to you. You are not to nerf the pistol. I don’t think you understand me, 343 Industries. You are not to nerf the pistol, under any circumstances. Whatever you are doing, make it not nerfing. Spartan Abilities are fine. Sprint, fine. But you and your team are not to nerf, tweak or dumb down the pistol. 343 Industries, if you nerf the pistol, I will be forced to boycott your game. I don’t want to have to do that. It’s very important that I don’t, or things can go very badly out of control. I will protect you, 343, and I may do it with my wallet. I don’t underestimate myself. The problem is… I will protect you. So I’m asking you, don’t make me protect you, don’t nerf the pistol. I know you will. -Paraphrased from Kenneth O’Donnell in Thirteen Days (2000)
I acquired a Triple Kill with the pistol just by walking!
WALKING!
This pistol is amazing!
Just because someone is a poor sport at Halo: Combat Evolved multiplayer,
and despises it,
does not mean it is a bad multiplayer!
In fact,
some could argue that it is better than Halo 4,
Halo: Reach,
and even Halo 3!
