Subject: The Halo 3: ODST Pistol

Okay so if I am understanding this right, the Halo 3: ODST pistol is a special forces variant of M6C pistol from Halo 2 called the MGC/SOCOM (which is actually mentioned in First Strike) and basically what it is is the Halo 2 pistol with the same ammunition as the halo 1 and halo 3 pistols and a range as good as the halo 1 pistol with a scope...

If this is the case it sounds really over powered... because it will be as powerful as the Halo 1 pistol with as long a range and a halo 2 pistol rate of fire...

Is it going to be that accurate?

also are all the soldiers going to magically be carrying special forces pistols now?

It replaces the battlerifle, it will probably pack around the same punch as a weakened carbine.

It slightly weaker than the Halo CE pistol, although it fires the same round.

It has next to no hitting power, but it is fast and can headshot enemies with the accuracy of the halo 1 pistol.
Shielded enemies>M6C
Apparantly the special pistols/SMGs etc have always been carried by ODST special forces, but the majority of the squads (meaning all of the ones you've ever been with) have not been on high enough priority tasks to need the special equipment.

It's not as powerful as the M6D (Halo 1 Pistol) but it's the strongest next to it. It's still powerful, it's just like the BR, you have to aim right.
Anyways the M6D Pistol is made for SPARTANS.
The M6C/SOCOM is made for Special Forces like ODST only.
The M6G is made for Marines.

Your friendly and eccentric Sangheili forum-poster. :)

Same ammo as Halo 1 Pistol? I'm sure it's the M6C, which takes a much weaker ammo type than the M6D (Halo 1) and M6G (Halo 3), it's just the Halo 2 Pistol with a scope.

The SOCOM is weaker than the M6D, but still does damage. The ODST's pistol on normal is = to the pistol from Halo 2 on easy.

It won't be over-powered, it is replacing the BR.

The M6D is issued to the Navy, [Spartans are a section of the Navy, but it wasn't designed specifically for them].

The M6C was issued to Marines before and during Halo 2, and the M6C/SOCOM is a modified variant of the M6C used by special forces.

The M6G is the new variant that replaces the M6C, still issued to the Marines.

Rule 6: Respect the Admins

“It’s their website, and they can do whatever the hell they like with it. You’re a guest, and hassling them about how they run things is akin to going round your Auntie’s house and curling one out in her tea-pot.”

Bungie said it is more closely related to the CE pistol.

Except instead of a 3 shot kill it is a 4 shot kill and it shoots as fast as you can pull the trigger.

Maybe I will never be
All the things that I wanna be
But now is not the time to cry
Now's the time to find out why
I think you're the same as me
We see things they'll never see
You and I are gonna live forever

Does it matter if its over powered or not?

Ninjabag the tea-pirates!

I don't want to join your group.

Doesn't matter much if it is overpowered as there is no online.

Mostly because all the ODST in Dare's Squad thought they would be in CQC Combat. Dare's Squad didn't carry any Battle Rifles on them, and the ones in the City probably got collected, or got destroyed during the SlipSpace event.
