Most people hate H2's pistol, I know, but I think it rocked. Am I alone, or are there any more of my kind out there?

I loved it when dualed with another weapon.

I loved the sheer firing rate of the Halo 2 pistol. Although it wasn't the strongest, it was incredibly quick. Semi-automatic weapons with a high rate of fire make for a fun time.

This is actually the stupidest thing ever posted on B.net:

Why does everyone hate Halo 2? Maybe its because its the worst game ever next to mario.

I really do enjoy the Magnum in SWAT. SWAT Magnums comes up a lot in the Team Swat Playlist.

If I had a Rocket Launcher...

Shut up and get behind me... Sir!

The cable. I'm going to cut it.

Awesomeness would ensue.

Dual-wielding two of them was a quick way to down somebody.

The reason it had no scope and was less powerful was because the battle rifle took the place of the Halo 1 pistol. If it had was more powerful and had a scope it would be like the pistol in H1, and it would have the same function as the battle rifle.

i loved the magnum especially with dualed with n smg or a plasma rifle.... thats the best combo right there... I hate the Noob combo(covenant pistol)

  • 05.17.2009 5:05 PM PDT

Deanese is my name thats my story and i am stiking to it.

The magnam is so awsum thats the only thing i use in HALO 2 it is so SWEET

  • 05.17.2009 11:26 PM PDT

That was my favourite Magnum of the series. Not powerful, but fast firing. That's what we need. A fast little sidearm.

Halo 3's pistol is completely useless. The crosshair is too wide, it's too slow, no scope...

*Insert super sad hello kitty face here*

Reminded me of that first pistol you get in Half Life 2: Fast firing, short reload time, amazing accuracy. It took my friend and I playing with no shields to realize it was as accurate as a sniper with no scope...all the way across Headlong as I jumped out of the banshee. I accused him of witchcraft.

The extremely fast firing rate makes it fun. It's as powerful as any other weapon when duel-wielded and it's still quite accurate. The Magnum is severely underrated.

I killed someone in Halo 3 from across the map with a magnum! (it was infection zombies had no shields) I was amazed because his entire body was in the ridicule and I hit his head!!

Exactly. Most people just say "O NOEZ IT R SO W33K BUNJ33 R RETARTAD" I mean, If it was like the Halo 1 pistol it would render the battle rifle useless.

I love your arguments. Yeah it's powerful and amazing...

...when you pair it up with another weapon or when the target has no shields to begin with.

the pistole design looked sick

Does anyone even read these?

I loved dual-wielding the magnums, the incredibly fast rate of fire makes them deadly.

I adore Halo 2's pistol. Even better than Halo 1's. Why Bungie decided to replace both with something horrible in Halo 3, I don't know.

Ooh, I love those people, the ones who decide to throw everything and the kitchen sink at you, as if an M16 does anything to a T-90. Oh, MLG player with noobtube instead? Congrats! You blew off one of my ablative plates!

Gun, meet Bad Guy.
Bad Guy, this is Gun.
