Halo 3's Pistol

Does anyone even read these?

I love the Halo 2 Magnum, especially dual-wielding them.

Dual wielding an SMG and a Halo 2 pistol was very powerful, but dual wielding pistols in Halo 3 are also fairly powerful at close-medium range. If you can land all your shots it only takes 6 shots to kill, and if you fire them at the same time it's kind of like it takes 3 shots, but you have to pull both triggers.

If you can rapidly fire the Halo 2 pistols accurately, they are incredibly deadly. Halo 3's are also not entirely useless but you need incredibly good aim.

Halo 2 magnums pre-patch were uber pwnsauce.

6 rounds to kill and bascially unlimited firing rate.

dual wield for unfreaking believable

Since organized communities are usually more enjoyable, you should take your time to read the forum rules to save yourself some trouble and help keep the forums clean :-)

Neither one "sucked". Both of them are better-suited to the other weapons in each particular game, so there's not really anything you can base that off of. They got the job done if you knew what you were doing, or at least they did for me.

I love the entire Halo series, Halo 2 being my favorite of the games. I think that the universe is compelling and the story is deep, sweeping, and powerful. The hidden layers in the Halo trilogy and rich details of the backstory in the novels are something I love to be lost in, and im greatly looking forward to the story that Halo: Reach will weave. Bungie has carefully and lovingly crafted a mythic tale that will stay etched in my mind until the end.

i think the problem is that people are still stuck in the Halo CE pistol mindframe. The pistol is supposed to be a weak weapon that you only use as a last resort, not an uber sniper like the Halo CE pistol. With that being said, i liked Halo 2's pistol better, but they are both fine.

Halo 2's pistol had a faster rate of fire, making it an awesome kill stealing weapon and dual-weilding weapon. Halo 3's is stronger, but since it's slow it doesn't really stand out.

*Facepalm*
and what gun doesn't tear though flesh? a squirt gun?

Forklifts don’t die. They’re just missing in action.

Pooping isn't something I enjoy, nor is it something that takes time. I get in there, drop the packages, then get out. I'm like UPS. What can brown do for you?

the halo 2 pistol is a good dual-weild ing weapon halo 3's is too slow

Halo 2's pistol feels so much better than Halo 3's. It had a black paint job and you could fire it as fast as your finger could pull the trigger. Halo 3's has a slow firing rate and doesn't really stand out from any of the weapons.

  • 07.05.2009 9:53 PM PDT

I like the Halo 2 pistol because it was fun to use, but I have an easier time killing things with the Halo 3 Pistol.

I say 3's pistol sucked worse cause it looks like the one in the first halo but is not as deadly and can't zoom in.

Halo 3's pistol sucks the worst. At least you can dual-wield the Halo 2 pistol with an SMG or something and make use of it that way. Halo 3's pistol does absolutely nothing even when dual-wielded.

  • 07.07.2009 6:10 PM PDT

I like both pistols. Go figure.

  • 07.08.2009 8:36 AM PDT

Halo 2 pistol sucked much more. Halo 3 pistol is actually very useful. Near the end of the AR's range, the pistol totally dominates the AR.

I would have to say halo 3's pistol mainly because in halo 2 at least you could fire it closly to how fst you could pull the trigger.
