OK, EVERYONE has been saying the M6D is "unrealistic" well look at this:

Lets compare the M6D to a real life Pistol, say the Desert Eagle. The Desert Eagle is basiclly EXACTLY like an M6D, It measures 10.75 inches and is one of the biggest pistols in the world.

The M6D Shoots 12mm High Explosive rounds, That is COMPLETELY equal to the now-a-day 45ACP Black Tipped bullets, the Desert Eagle can shoot 45ACP, or 50AE which is EVEN MORE POWERFULL than the M6D.

The M6D Has a MAX range of 123 Meters, guess what? the Desert Eagle Has an effective range of OVER 100 METERS!!! WHO SAYS THE M6D IS unrealistic!?? so the M6D has Equal range, Equal power to a real life pistol. BUT WAIT. THERES MORE: You can EASILY mount a Scope onto the DEsert Eagle or another Pistol today!!!

SO HOW, JUST TELL ME HOW IS THE M6D UNREALISTIC??

sorry bout the caps.

Slaying noobs since 2007.

I have three things to say. One, don't caps-lock every thing. Two, it has a digital scope right on top of the barrel that shows up on your hud. Three, this is a game, set about 500 years in the future, and it is a game, tell those people, "Oh well, it's a video game, which means it's not real life.".

what a rant...no one cares how realistic the halo, m6d pistol is, i have never even heard an inkling of a hint of complaints about the pistol being unrealistic...u just wanted a place to say that both pistols were 10.75 inches...and in what? length?height? Barrel length (different from just length alone)? This post was just a "showoff post" that some lay down in order to make jealous the others that don't know anything about a crappy d.eagle.

just saying, all u peeps that claim the M6D is not realistic are idiots. my point was that it is very realistic. OH, and a pistol over 100M can have good accuracy, not 99% sniper accuracy though, but good enough to make it effective.

We're not saying that the pistol is unrealistic. It's unrealistic that a multi hundred million suit of armor with a recharging shield generator, the ability to hold a ships AI, and a broken flashlight can't withstand that kind of impact.

Seeing as modern body armor can withstand this.

The MD6 seems realistic enough for the time period that Halo is set in.

Yes, I am a hypocrite, and I'm sorry. I really do mean well, but I'm not running on all cylinders.

1.) Why did you make this thread?

2.) Why are you comparing it to a Desert Eagle? Why not compare it to a more standard gun, seeing as that is what the M6D is supposed to be.

3.) Who cares? I'm just here to point out flaws. :P

Oh yeah, deactivate your Caps Lock key before using your Human Interface Device of preference to select a "reply" or "Create New Thread" option in the Hypertext Transfer Protocol window.

I agree that its realistic. But are any of the other weapons?

Why oh why does the military not get this for our soldiers. Our police force could use it too.

All us "peeps" who say the M6D is unrealistic (of which there haven't been very many) probably understand that the M6D pistol is a fictional weapon in a video game. Who cares if it's similar to a real-life weapons like the Desert Eagle. Bungie most likely modeled the M6D after it, which would account for the similarities. Just because it's modeled after a real life weapon doesn't make it realistic. Because:

1: IT'S A VIDEO GAME!!
2: IT'S A VIDEO GAME!!
3: IT'S STILL A -blam!- ING VIDEO GAME!!

I'm sure someone agrees with you, and I'm sure someone actually cares about your misguided opinions. They just don't seem to be here right now. So maybe someone should PM a mod and have this pointless rant killed off like so many other pointless threads.

100 meters in a game is nothing like 100 meters in real life

Yeah, 'cause you are using pixelated deadly weapons. Ah well, I like the pistol but I don't care about if its unrealistic or not (except when I first started playing of course).

There's problems with the adhesive on the plates when it gets really cold all the plates drop to the bottom, leaving you unprotected, as of now, it only works in perfect conditions, so it still has flaws.

Let me sum everything up:

* It's a video game.

* Since when the Hell did side-arms win interstellar conflicts alone? I don't think people find the M6D to be so "unrealistic" as they find it absurd that a side-arm is a more effective and accurate weapon than the assault rifle, for Pete's sake. Because of the fact that the assault rifle is underwhelming in terms of range and accuracy, the void left by the lack of a main weapon is filled up by the pistol's traits.

* It's a video game.

* Whoa, you can put scopes on a Desert Eagle! What kind of idiot is going to use a scoped side-arm over his primary weapon, like an SMG or an assault rifle, which is supposedly more accurate and fires at longer distances?

* It's a video game.

WHO SAYS THE M6D IS unrealistic!??
Exactly, so why the Hell did you post this to begin with?

People don't find the M6D to be so "unrealistic" (I'm using it in quotes, because it's quite pointless arguing with the issue of realism in a video-game--in Halo, no less) as "Why the Hell does the assault rifle suck ass in the fact that it's not chosen by players to be their primary weapon so they choose the pistol instead?"

EDIT: Wow, I seriously hate this lay out. Previously on Bungie.net, you could put asterisks in brackets and that would create a bullet, but now it just gives you an asterisk. Weak.

At least the M6D doesn't use homing or guided bullets.

Lol ya no kidding.
although for the futuristic time period such wouldn't be unthinkable. although if incorporated into the game would definitely overpower the pistol.

That was a scandle used by the US army to fake that it didn't pass army standards. The suit withstands all weather conditions well. And it doesn't use plates, it uses circular disks. The only reason they haven't given it to our troops is its cost. But seeing as we've spent hundreds of billions on the war already, cost shouldn't be a problem.
