The pistol in Halo: Combat Evolved is a legendary weapon that will go down in history as one of the most over-powered firearms of all time.
In fact, there's a story behind the weapon, which suggests that game director and co-founder of Bungie, Jason Jones, changed the code at the last minute to beef up the pistol… without anyone on the staff knowing. Jones recently spoke to IGN on the matter, saying:
What we did feel comfortable doing was changing the code, and so… I added code specifically, when the map was loaded, to change a single number on the pistol. Whether that was ‘ninja style’ or not, I’ll be happy to let you decide.
