You also have multiple choices of gametypes where you can start out with a BR in every game. Also, BxRing is REALLY FUN WITH A BR. I'll only use a pistol(in Halo 2) if I dual-wield it with a (chargable) plasma pistol, and Halo 1 pretty much makes it a requirement.

Not that the pistol couldn't do a lot of that, but I really liked the multiple shots. I mean, you always either started with a pistol or near a pistol, but it just wasn't as fun. I guess I like bigger weapons.

If it wasn't for the update halo 2 would be way behind halo 1. Sure BXR'ing is fun(I use boxer setting though) but I think the game just isn't as good. It takes so much more skill for halo 1 than halo 2. Yeah, the pistol was overpowering, but everyone started with one. If you knew what you were doing though, it wasn't bad at all.

Bungie also totally screwed the Wizard and the Longest. I mean Warlock is okay, but I can't even play Elongation. = (

A bad thing about halo 2 is the mad autoaim. I mean if you take the rockets, stand pretty far away, then aim to the side of the guy, the rocket seeks to him.

EDIT: Yeah the pistol is three shots and your dead, but unlike the BR's autoaim, you have to have some skill to win a 1 v 1 fight.
