» Sat Feb 19, 2011 8:16 am

I just want my Sea Eagle with a knife in my other hand and I'll be all set for my backup weapon.

i hope pistol are an actual viable opyion in combat compared to other games such as cod where u never stand a chance.
i want to be able to take on other guns such as smg with a reasonable chance base on my skill with in reason

Im sorry. desert eagle in COD4, akimbo USP45s/44mag. in MW2, akimbo pythons/extended mag CZs in Blops.
I can do just fine with a pistol in COD. i actually prefer them in CQB over shotguns.

Why do developers include pistols in a game if they're useless?

Anyways, if the pistols aren't very effective and you're a Light sniping, I guess you'll have to have a turret, stickybomb, revive syringe, or can of whoop-ass handy to help out.

pistol dont really stand a chance seen as u need to get close enoug to be effective and in that time u a mowed down buy a thousand machine guns
:gun: :ahhh:

Not really. If charge with a pistol at someone with a minigun yes you will likely die. That is why you attack them from behind, or above something they won't expect.

i plan on getting the spec ops pack, im hoping the machine pistol is pretty descent

Well the fact that you get a knife when wielding a pistol, which is a faster melee that does more damage, makes using your pistol over an AR or SMG in close quarters a viable option. This is reason why I decided to use a machine pistol over an SMG as my secondary weapon on my Medium class.

As a big fan of handguns, I too hope that they can hold their own against the rest of the weapons. And I think they will be able to. I also still hope that you can have two of them. No, not dual wielding, but having two separate sidearms. Would be cooool.

I'm counting on them to be semi accurate/powerful, unlike cod where each bullet does a different damage
*pumps clip in a half with pistol, turns around to shots me with M1911* ... :sadvaultboy:

which is wat i like about brink, the fact that this is possible as with cod ur just like crouch move left move right crouch duck and it doent work

In COD, they're back up weapons with fast swaps. More for fall backs. They do the damage of a regular assault rifle with the fire rate of a semi auto. Not intended to be weapons to run around with and shoot across maps.

Pistols in Call of Duty aren't bad... well, I haven't played BlOps, but in the Modern Warfares they're definitely powerful enough to not be useless. Especially in Modern Warfare 2 - Akimbo G18s anyone? Hell, even a single G18 was worthwhile. And don't get me started on the Raffica... why Infinity Ward thinks 3-shot burst weapons must be overpowered I'll never know.

And even if you're just talking about the M9, USP .45, and M1911, they still definitely weren't worthless (as I'd regularly score multiple kills at once with them)... they just weren't as powerful as primary weapons. Which is a good thing.

aw only one i can get

Ditto :sadvaultboy:

What's forcing you guys to only pre-order from Gamestop?

Side arm or not I always use the pistols in shooters, it's a way of challenging myself,
so even if I'm out-gunned CAESAR FTW!!! :trophy:

Caesar revolver is all you need , I hope they balanced the damage close to the real thing : relatively slow(er?) in rate of fire , but does a decent amount of damage

Well we are told Everything in the game is balanced, so no worries :thumbsup:

we were told this about black ops as well. "cough""cough" AK74u "cough"

I think they'll be preferably used as backup weapons, rather than primaries.

I'm hoping they're capable as "primaries" at least amongst the other light weapons. Obviously lower RoF than SMGs and less damage and range than LRs, but still a viable option in a fire fight.

Pocket M16, what what?

Oh god I thought I was the only one that noticed how cheap it is. I've been killed more than 1100 times with the Famas and AK74u and less than 700 with any other weapon.

SMGs have too much range in general, but the Famas is just overused because of when it unlocks, otherwise it balances out fairly well with most of the other weapons that come after it.

Really what have we said about comparing Brink to COD. :brokencomputer: Black ops took less than a year and SD has been balancing for like 3 years.

Looking at videos their seems to be a lot of pistols being used (mind you, pistols just look cooler in action scenes)
So its a possibility, I think you should be able to move faster with a pistol, and at close quarters it shouldn't be at such a huge disadvantage (maybe in rate of fire) and I bet revolvers will do even more damage (with even less ROF)

» Sat Feb 19, 2011 12:39 am

I kind of have a problem with that. It just isn't realistic being able to hit people with a pistol from 30+ yards away. In games, the weapon with the most open sights is usually the most advantageous, while in real life, it makes things a hell of a lot harder to hit anything at range. As a Canadian Mounty once said after their MP5s were taken away "It's hard as hell to hit anything with a handgun".
