The Pistol is a helluva lot stronger than the BR. If you ever play SWAT BR then you'll see that it takes like three bursts on the body (not head) of an unshielded foe to drop 'em. It was like one shot in Halo CE

Yes the H1 pistol is a lot stronger than the BR because I think the rate of fire is faster on the pistol. The scope is also better even though both only have a 2X zoom.

The pistol fires much faster and inflicts more damage per shot. It can kill in a second whereas the BR takes around two seconds. It's also much more effective at long range because it's single shot and against an unshielded target it doesn't take one shot to the body to kill it takes THREE.

The scope is the same. How is it better?

Become the hunter.

The pistol from Halo: CE was better than the Battle Rifle, which is stupid...

  • 03.20.2007 8:40 PM PDT

Dont ask questions. Just shoot.

If you use the pistol correctly, you can kill someone in 3 shots

Pistol > Battle Rifle

Yep. Pistol's tougher.

  • 03.20.2007 10:27 PM PDT

Pistol kills in 3 shots, Battle rifle kills in 4 bursts. Pistol is stronger, and fires faster too. Though some people don't realise, only ONE bullet from the final burst has to hit the head to kill with the BR. So technically, it could be said to be 3 and 1/3 bursts...

  • 03.21.2007 10:27 AM PDT

Pistol is much better..... Why?

Pistol
Extremly accurate
High Damage
large clip
Scope
Losts of availible ammo

Battle RIfle
extremely Accurate
Medium damage
large clip
Scope
Never have enough ammo for a BR.

In conclusion, i would have to say that the Magnum is much better than the BR55 (battle rifle). Though the battle rifle can be better in some situations, the pistol is alot better

I've heard this before from other people but when I tried it myself on split screen I had to fire ALL four bursts to kill. In all my tests I fired three bursts and then fired one bullet off at a time with RY three times to get the kill.

Erm, the BR keeps being referred to as shooting bursts, as if the burst were a single bullet. Each burst is 3 shots, 4 burts to kill. CE pistol takes three bullets to kill. The BR takes 12 bullets to kill. CE Pistol>>>>>BR

  • 03.22.2007 12:25 PM PDT

um, yea. 3sk with higher RoF. definitely.

It's very rare you will find any of the bullets from a burst going different places, except at extreme range and in a no-shields game where people sweep the BR. You can pretty much treat the bursts as shots for the purpose of comparison.

If you take into context the aim-assists of each game, i think that the BR is stronger.

If you notice a decent halo 2 player ALWAYS gets 4sk's with the BR, as where a decent Halo: CE player usually takes 4 or 5 shots to take someone down, unless their a total noob.

Stick me in a map with one other guy and give us the choice between pistol and BR and I'll always choose my BR. I don't know why, but I was always better with the BR.

(I know I'm comparing two different games).

You we're better with the BR because of the mass aim-assist :\

The pistol was extremely powerful. I also prefer the Halo CE shotgun.

No, because everyone that I was playing against had the same amount of aim-assist.

How would everyone having the same amount of aim-assist make you better at a BR than a pisol?

Yea pistol is stronger then BR(just like everybody said). But that doesn't really mean it is better. It depends on whos hands it is in to really depict if it is strong or not.

If you take into context the aim-assists of each game, i think that the BR is stronger.

If you notice a decent halo 2 player ALWAYS gets 4sk's with the BR, as where a decent Halo: CE player usually takes 4 or 5 shots to take someone down, unless their a total noob.

Actually you rarely see someone get 4 shotted unless they're close, running straight towards them or the killer is host.
Other then that its 5 or 6 depending on range.

Well in any case, the point is that however hard it is to 4-shot another player of reasonable skill, it is tougher to 3-shot them in the first game due to less aim-assist and a faster strafe.

The pistol is indeed more powerful, but as a trade off it takes more skill to use.
