Wave, I HIGHLY recommend against using any "Halo 2" weapons. Keep it Halo. No Battle Rifle. No weapon and statistic changes. It's a graphical improvement to how the game looks and interacts. At best, simply just improve upon the animations and the feel. The Bungie-Style has been proven to work.
It turns gamers away when a change is made that reflects upon gameplay in a negative way. Battle Rifle combat in Halo 1 has not been proven effective enough to retain the value of the original game. The Pistol has been, and will probably still be, the greatest weapon in the entire game!
Even if the model is to be changed, I believe it should not. Simply upgrade the Pistol Model and Animation! Keep it idea exactly the same.
