[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] rushviking HEY! NONE OF THE weapons are newbie weapons,all the weapons are good balanced and i can use them all,anyway im calling me Rush Viking over the net when im playing Halo PC,so come there and see what i mean! Have someone noticed that the scope on the sniper rifle on the xbox version have a 2x and a 10x zoom? ,on PC they have changed it to 2x and 8x zoom, i think that's fit better.[/quote] What you say about weapon balance is totally unture, and especially to what who ever started this dumb post, the pistol is a newbie (aren't you not allowed to say that here anymore) weapon if there ever was one, it can kill in a few shots, and can out snipe the sniper rifle at moderately long range. Thats one thing I think bungie messed up on, the pistol is unrealisticly accurate and has too long a range, and the AR is unrealisticly inaccurate and has too little range. Oh and yeah, the sniper rifle isn't a newbie weapon because they suck with it, I think you should more say you just don't like people who are good with it, because you don't know how to avoid it.
