In Response To: Re: Argh! (Boomer)

: I think the "pistol-bashing" originated from Counter-Strike. It was
: probably the first game with completely useless pistols with no advantages
: what so ever over any of the longer arms. Since that has been the most
: played game for many years now (I still don't see why), it's not that
: strange to see the unrealistic CS madness corrupt the gamers' minds.

Maybe not the FIRST game with useless pistols, but the one that popularized them...

: Whenever a CS player plays another game (which happens very, very rarely), he
: still thinks he is playing Counter-Strike. I can't help but cry out in
: anger when I see a team mate switch hot is pistol for a needler in Halo, or
: prefer the ridiculously weak energy staff over the .50 caliber
: sniper-pistol for longrange combat in Unreal 2.

That's really dumb. The pistol is one of Halo's best weapons!

: Thanks to the wonders of Counter-Strike, they have got the idea of pistols as
: weak, inaccurate, useless weapons you can fall back to, should you drop
: your butter knife and fail to find any rocks to throw at your enemy.

Does the WSTE-M count as a pistol?
