Ah, fair enough on the awards front then. *As an aside, pining for a new TS game *

Also, cool that the Brute Shot is a valid weapon now. I remember one time, I got a kill with one (At range, that is) - we talked about it for a week. It was a bigger deal than 7/7 for us.

Important weapon question: Is the pistol any good? Halo pistol was kickass. Halo 2 pistol was horribly neutered. Please tell me it's more akin to the former?
