Yah, the shotgun definately doesn't work too well beyond 13ft. Not 131ft. Whatever, it's cool though.

The models look great too. The grenade seemed a little undetailed personally, but who is going to see the detail on a hurtling ball of death, right?

They raised the number of rounds in the M6G clip back to 12 like the other M6 's cool. They need to fix some errors though.

The pistol has a max range of 152.2 ft. The shotty has a max range of 131 ft. What??? Doesn't really make sense to me.


dude, shotty is a short range weapon. pistol could be a high powered rifle for all we know.just because in real-life hunting a shotty would own over a pistol doesnt mean that a shotty is better than a pistol in the halo universe. have you played some games whre the rifle has a better shot when you do 1-bullet shots. well, i would think that 1-bullet from the pistol could -blam!- up more $hit aimed accurately than a shotty would shootin a bee-bee(or however you spell that $hit) spread shot.

That's neat and all, but the info is all 'Real life' info. Sure, I'd find it interesting if I knew something about guns, but it's all just meaningless facts. And weren't all these guns in the beta? (I would have participated in the beta but I didn't have a 360 then).

Can someone please tell me how these guns compare to halo 1 and 2?

Also, the graphics.... these guns look like the same polygon models as in halo 1, with a very slight upgrade (Except the grenade). Come on, it's been 7 years! Also, the pistol looks bland and scratched up; the halo 1 pistol was reflective chrome with smoother lines...

The halo 1 pistol was like a sports car. The halo 2 and 3 pistols are like those fancy little 3 wheeled buggies; sure they're more efficient, but they look and perform like crap.


I agree with you...slightly

I must point out that these are stand alone models, they might not be (and doesn't look like) they are displayed at top quality. By watching game footage from the beta, they look more slick and cool.

Also, they kinda look like renders...but thats just me.

when i used the beta we got into the custom mup and used the hand gun no zoom/scop was on it. so probly not going to be one unless bungie have adjusted that, i would not put it past them but would make it to powerfull.

Nice update but i would like to see one on the MS amour suit :)

M6J (C) I wonder if there trying to tell us something,

  • 08.15.2007 8:24 PM PDT

And I wonder if they feel like I do...that something else has just shown up, with its own locked and loaded magazine of manifest destiny, set to bring forth a new kind of reckoning...

http://www.betodesigns.com

the new pistol is the same as the Halo 1 pistol except no scope and much slower rate of fire

Ugh.... I've got a bad feeling that the Suppressed and regular SMGs are going to be two seperate guns rather than a toggled feature.....

uhmmm, I don't see suppressed fire, only sustained fire, that just means holding down the trigger and using it as a "bullet hose"

GT: FatalxXxFrenzy -Check out my fileshare!! Map titled "Lagoon"

Sounds cool and all, but I really hope the pistol isnt like that of halo 1, it had way to long of a range and was too powerful for a pistol. Everyone would start a match and swap right to it. I dont think it will be that way though, check out its max effective range. 50 meters. Shotguns was 40. I think its gonna be like a magnum from Halo 2 with a scope. A combination of Halo 1 and 2.

Wait. So if there are different versions of the pistol, does that mean we're getting a scope this time on them? :)? (And) what about the different finishes? Is there going to be customizable weapons in H3?

YES! man the Halo 1 pistol was one of my fave weapons and they are bringin back the scope for Halo 3.... i hope it is at least almost as powerful as it was in Halo 1 where 3 head shots from semi-close range was a kill... even if it is four headshots, thats just as good as the BR from semi-close range... yea, it would be cool if there were different versions of the pistol with scopes but chances of that seem unlikely.... personally i am a fan of the chrome pistols anyways so im fine with chrome scope pistols, definitely....

secondly, are the made up "remarks" just bogus or doesnt it sound like the shotgun is gonna be scaled down a bit for Halo 3? if so how much?

There's a discrepency with the ammo sizes at first the ammo/cartridge size is:

Cartridge: 12.7 mm x 40 SAP-HE (semi-armor-piercing high-explosive)

But later in the text it says :

It fires 12.7mm x 30 semi-armor-piercing high-explosive ammunition (standard issue)

Jus thought i'd point it out.
Nice update like the shiny pictures, When do we learn about something new tho

p.s keep up the good work

Hmm.. idk this is one of the worste updates i've seen in a while.. I mean.. there's nothing new. What was the point of showing 4 already well known weapons? seems kinda random and pointless


because they tell you how much they cost in forge....."unit replacement cost" is the amount of credits you need to spawn the weapon you need

  • 08.16.2007 2:46 AM PDT

'Well it's a grenade innit? It blows up'

Nice update. Interesting to hear the background and the reasonable buffing of the M6G
