Incendiary grenades or flamethrowers would be completely useless in a game like Halo. Think about it for a second. Not only are the dudes literally encased in a ton of armor, but there's shields that surround that armor. First off, flames couldn't possibly penetrate the shielding, and even if they somehow did, there's still a ton of metal in between the flames and the Halo-guy.
Although, chucking white phosphorous grenades at a grunt would be sadistically hilarious.
And just for the record; the pistol was made less effective on purpose; Bungie botched almost all the weapon designs in the original Halo, and were trying to make them more realistic in Halo 2. I mean, shoot, in the original, I managed to snipe someone off with a shotgun. Not even joking. And it's physically impossible. Even if I was to hit someone from that distance in real life, the buckshot/birdshot/whatever wouldn't be moving fast enough to cause anything more than a welt in even the most extreme circumstances.
