Subject: ODST Magnum

The ODST's Magnum I think is exactly the same as halo 1's magnum and if it is exactly the same the pistol is the only weapon iam using because of its 3 shot kills.

Good for you.

And its not as powerful as the H1 pistol, but fires as fast as the H2 magnum.

ODST magnum = Halo CE magnum.

with a silencer, but you get the basic idea.

It's slightly weaker, They never said it's EXACTLY the same. I think there's gonna be less BR's and more uber magnums

It's the M6C with a silencer and a smart scope.

M6C was Halo 2 Magnum.
Halo 3 pistol is closer to Halo CE's one, except it has lower damage, smaller magazine and laser sights rather than scope. And you can't use laser sights.

So ODST pistol is closer to Halo 2 pistol.
Haha.

No. The ODST Magnum is a Halo 2 M6C with a suppressor and smart-linked scope.


when the creative developer at Bungie showed off the ODST demo at E3, he stated "Anybody a fan of the Halo 1 pistol here?" then he preceeded to zoom in, and fire shots at a grunt, there was even an interview where someone from bungie said that they "brought back" the Halo CE pistol, and added a silencer, but i'll admit, it does look an awful lot like the Halo 2 pistol, and it's semi-auto, like the Halo 2 pistol

Goddamit... look at the pistol render. IT READS M6C (but is variant or has add-ons)! Halo CE's pistol is M6D! Halo 2 pistol is M6C
Bungie brought back the IDEA of scoped pistol, NOT THE EXACT WEAPON.

ok, i aknowledged the fact that it is the Halo 2 pistol at the bottom of my post,

thanks for keeping it cool though.

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

It can kill Jackals, Grunts, and Unshielded Brutes in one shot, but have you seen anyone try and take a shielded Brute out with it? No, that's because it doesn't work because it's more like the Halo 2 pistol. The reason they're comparing it to the Halo 1 pistol is because it has a higher rate of fire and has a scope, that's it.

Thanks for choosing to whine over being a productive member of the community and possible element towards advancing Reach.

It's a cross between the Halo 1 pistol and the Halo 2 pistol. You can scope it and fire it as fast as you can pull the trigger.

And all pistols have been semiautomatic.


i meant semi-auto in the sense that it fires as fast as you pull the trigger.

I am a Halo 3 Failure.

The rate of fire that the new pistol has is closer to the Halo 2 pistol.
Halo 2: 1 Halo 1: 0
The new pistol has a scope
Halo 2: 1 Halo 1: 1
The new pistol can take down unshielded enemies but is almost useless against shielded enemies.
Halo 2: 2 Halo 1: 1
The new pistol looks like the Halo 2 pistol.
Halo 2: 3 Halo 1: 1

It's a slightly edited Halo 2 pistol.

I would like to hear an explanation for why ODSTs can't throw grenades as far as Master Chief, but they can rip turrets off their metal bases and carry them around with little effort. - As for the music, there is nothing that breaks the atmosphere like randomly placed saxophone solos. You're supposed to be in a warzone, and it sounds like the softcore -blam!- they show on Cinemax after midnight. During one battle we were treated to some of the cheesiest, squeedle-ridden guitar ever heard in a game.

Technically it looks more like a H&K .45 USP Match pistol more than anything, same green dot pattern on the back iron sight on the military version.

Yeah, let's just ignore the fact that the pistol itself says it's the Halo 2 pistol.

It's the Halo 2 M6C pistol with a scope and muzzle suppressors. That's it.

You can 1-shot grunts with H3's M6G and that doesn't mean it's anywhere close to the HCE M6D.

What I find funny is that every time a new Halo game comes out I have the exact same discussions about the M6D.

It's just a mixture of the Halo 1 and 2 pistols. Fast firing and (Probably - can't tell until the game comes out) weak, but accurate and fitted with a scope. I reckon it'll replace the Battle Rifle as the accurate mid-range combat weapon in ODST.
