Whether you nerf the damage or make them heavier; the pistols need to have some kind of disadvantage. As of right now, they're the perfect weapon.
What do you guys have to say?
NERF TEH PISTOLZ!!!!

Pistols are fine as they are. What is this fascination with nerfing everything in games anymore? P

I pretty much only use the pistol you start with. Its dps just seems way higher then anything else and its like a laser with the scope.

Carnifex is almost the same as the Viper SR, just a lot lighter with less ammo, less RoF a less zoom. Then the Paladin will one-up that even more (though tht is most likely a SP-only weapon, so it wouldn't matter much) and I am a bit unsure about the Scorpion. It's damage is tremendous but being a mine launcher more than a pistol it serves another purpose and playstyle.
But generally, you can get other weapons and have a decent cooldown bonus. Or you get pistols that are equal in performance AND have a much better cooldown. That is taking variety off the game as they are the obvious superiour choice in most cases, which makes them unbalanced.
It doesn't need to be a nerf-nuke and I would gladly take a buff-bomb instead of a nerf, but something has to change at least slightly.

Too many people use shotguns and sniper rifles to justify nerfing pistols.
Assault rifles need a boost though.

Like I said in the OP, nerf the damage OR increase the weight to reduce cooldown.
Performance wise, the pistols can hang with the shotguns, ARs and sniper rifles while giving you super fast cooldown. No disadvantages at all.

Sometimes people just want it because of their own taste... Like gears of war 3 is currently in hells' A-hole because of whiners regarding the shotgun in that game. Being a gamer is pure hell these days.

Hey, let's try to keep this civilize. I made this thread so I can hear other people's opinions on the topic. Maybe, my position on this topic is wrong. If so, I want to hear why?
If you don't have anything to contribute to the topic, don't post in this thread.

Sr.Prize, if Pistols are so OP why are shotguns and sniper rifles so popular?

Either nerf pistols or buff others, both could work, but something needs to be done, pistols are currently the best weapons, being low-weight and having an high DPS. That needs to change IMO.
That is a weak argument. Popularity does not equal quality. You can very well snipe with a pistol as long as you have a scope, you can shoot from mid and close range and have 200% of recharging bonus.

I think they should be bad at dealing with shields and barriers. Then you would have more of a reason to bring along something like an SMG (which could use a small damage buff IMO) to deal with shields.

I'd nerf range rather than damage. Except maybe for the Carnifex.

Have you ever put some thought into what "Nerf" means? It means to make something useless, like a nerf bat at a baseball game, or a nerf gun in Afghanistan.
"Nerf" is what lazy, thoughtless developers do because it is simple to do.
Like someone else pointed out, you need to make other things more useful, not crap on what you have.

I never even think to nerf or buff a gun while Im playing any game...I just adjust to the weapons strengths and weaknesses.Golden RAAM wrote...

Gears forums and multiplayer matches became a crybaby fest over the sawed off, I hope we dont start that crap here. Mass Effects multiplayer isn't even Pvp and the complaining is already starting...go figure.

You are a moron and your thread title is proof. The Pistols are balanced. It is the weight system that is at fault.

Also, this. This forum is already going the way of the Bungie, 343i, and Epic forums because people want everyone to play their way. This game doesn't even have a PVP!Haseeo wrote...
