Checked with hex editor and dot halo, it's not there. only a bitmap

EDIT: the above post is correct, it's just scenery. Proof:

My original xbox is modded and modded for Halo2 (do not use it on XBL. Thats my 360 I use). There is NO halo 1 pistol on tombstone because if so it would be on all the other levels too and its not. ALSO once you've modded a new multiplayer weapon and named it, it will appear in the weapons list like it was a default weapon. Don't try to lie. I even had a friend on XBL try it while I read this to him. YOu cant do it without dieing!!! This is bull-blam!-. This kid should be banned.

My computer blocks Youtube (I'm at school now), but I do believe I know what video is in that link. The one on HBO was made by a modder who simply used the skin to cover the magnum. The actual pistol must be shown in some weapons file on the game disc to be an actual useable weapon.

RIP Halo 2.

It's not a "skin." A skin is a just another name for a texture, the bitmap which wraps around the model.

The pistol on this map consists of:
Model: The 3D mesh that gives the pistol its shape and dimensions.
Skin: The texture which wraps around the pistol to give it its details and colors.
Shader: Controls the shine of the pistol, way light reflects off it, etc.


The pistol is always on the map in that room next to the M6D crate. There's no way to pick it up even if you got in there because it's only scenery, not an actual weapon.

You guyz are hilarious. The truth is if you do cartwheels down to the sword snatch it and hammer drop to the ground you'll bust into gears of war. No -blam!-. After playing patty cake with berserker and keeping her happy you are then sent to the ghettos to test drive GTA IV. Some of you should write books.

I signed up just to hopefully settle this, even though I will be repeating other users and I doubt this will be settled.

There will be three tags I will be talking about in Halo 2 Maps. The first is [mode], model. This is simply an object model. It consists of textures and bitmaps (what the weapon looks like). It serves no other purpose.
The next is a [weap] weapon. This is a model that fires a projectile. It's a weapon...lmfao.
The final is a [scen] scenery. This can be anything, however scenery objects very rarely move. They cannot be picked up.


NOW, there is a model for a Halo 1 Pistol in Tombstone.
There is NO Halo 1 weapon in Tombstone.
There IS a Halo 1 Weapon scenery tag.
This is the so called Halo 1 Pistol, and it serves no other purpose then looking pretty.
If you see pictures of someone wielding it, then they have simply modded it and swapped the original pistol model for the scenery model. VERY EASY.

And yes, I mod....offline only. I hate matchmaking modders or modders who mod to cheat.

Sure does.

All you have to do is obtain the golden warthog, and drive through the gate that opens to you in Headlong. Then, drive to your selected map (Tombstone), and park the golden warthog under the place where the Halo 1 pistol is. The golden hog should be invulnerable, and it should not move. Have an ELITE get in the passenger seat, and have him start throwing plasma grenades in the water. If done correctly, the Halo 1 pistol should appear in his hands.

Is this thread the punchline of .. What do you get when you cross a bunch of bored kids with modded xboxs and new halo 2 maps?

Shader does more then just that, has the bump maps and all kind of other stuff.

RIP Halo 2.

I'm trying to keep things simple here. Besides, there isn't a bumpmap for the pistol, at least not that I saw. I think this a direct rip of Halo 1's pistol, and I think Halo 1 only supported bumps on the environment.

If you say your a modder, but never use them online, then i now call you a liar. But i agree with it not being a weapon. Me and my friend gatherd all the exploding crates under the halo 1 pistol and blew all of them up with rockets, and the pistol did not move an inch, even if it's a weapon and not a scenery it would still be impossible to even get it close enough to pick up, you would be lucky if you even got the pistol to move

It's time to put this to rest...Apparently we managed to squeeze a lie about how this Pistol is Obtained.

Someone do this and put it to rest now, please

''I remember he already made a topic about this, but I can't seem to find it! Everybody needs to know about this...it's sooo sick. Me, him, and like 10 of my friends have tried it and we all got it to work!


1: Get rockets, a shotgun, at least 2 frags, and at least 2 plasma nades.
2: Go to the room that has the breakable glass (it is zoomed in on at :27 seconds in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqQE2bcjxVA)
3: In the room, against the back wall, there is a large green monitor.
4: Now here is the tricky part. First, you will need to bounce two frag grenades off the floor in a way that they explode DIRECTLY on the screen of the monitor. After the two frags, shoot one rocket at the monitor. Then, throw 2 plasma nades directly under the monitor. Finally, shoot the monitor with your shotgun at point blank range.
5: Move to the hallway with the overshield and doors; if you did this correctly, the door near the flickering light will be open. IF IT IS NOT OPEN, YOU MESSED UP ON STEP 4 (USUALLY THE FRAG GRENADE PART)
6: Inside the room is an invis, and a Halo 1 pistol. It is just like the normal pistol performance-wise, but it is colored silver and is called "Halo 1 Pistol" when you pick it up.


It is so amazing. All credit goes to JedisJumpHigh

Please keep this bumped and if you don't believe me, try it for yourself or go post about it on the bungie.net forums or mlgpro forums, they will tell you that it is true also, because we showed them how to do it!''
I just tryed it, and it did not work. But add me (Cal227) just incase i'm doing something wrong, it would be cool to use the halo 1 pistol if it really is true
