What kind of a pistol would you enjoy to see in Halo Reach? Feel free to defend your answer.

I'd like to see whatever pistol Bungie feels would be balanced with the sandbox in Reach.

RAWR!

the halo 3 ODST pistol is like a halo 2 and halo 1 pistol but it looks like a halo 3 pistol therofore it is perfect.

Death to rank junkies.

I loved the Halo 1 pistol, but it was far too overpowered. I'd like to see the Halo 3 pistol, with a larger clip.

Multiplayer Gameplay
Halo:CE------------------Reach--------Halo2-----------------H alo3
Campaign Experience
Reach----Halo:CE-----------------ODST-----Halo2---------Halo3

Glad that Halo 3 garbage is dead, thanks to Reach.
Unfreakenbelievable!!

It needs to have accuracy and a balance between damage and RoF, so it isn't only effective while dualing. The only Pistol so far that fits that description is the M6D Pistol from Halo:CE. The M6C didn't have the accuracy nor did it have the single-wielding effectiveness. And, the M6G just sucks balls at accuracy.

Accuracy is key with me. I would say that a M6D with more accuracy and alot less bullet magnetism and aim assist would improve this game tremendously. They could even remove the scope or make it a 4-shot and it would still function up to par; I'm just a little weary of a 4-shot because of how much it slows the game down, as we saw with the BR.

The Halo 3 Pistol looks like a Halo 1 Pistol and the Halo 3 ODST is a variant of the H2 Magnum (M6C/SOCOM). Its the H2 Pistol with a scope.

Well I know Bungie will keep dual wielding, not sure if thats a good thing, so I would prefer an improved version of the Halo 2 M6C, maybe it should be an 8 shot kill and not 13. The BR fills the Halo CE M6D role so we really don't need a powerful midrange pistol. The Carbine has also essentially taken the pistols place, as a single-shot midrange weapon although the BR shares the M6D's effectiveness.

So in short, to make dual wielding not butcher the game I think we need the Halo 2 pistol with a damage increase. We already have two Halo CE pistol type weapons, we don't need a third.

i think it would be cool if it actually showed a scope on it like the br has...

Loading signature ... 1% complete

A more powerful version of the Halo 2 pistol, but still dual-wieldable.

  • 07.21.2009 11:13 PM PDT

I'd like to see both the H3 pistol and the auto-mag.

  • 07.22.2009 5:06 AM PDT

Vancouver BC, Canada.

The ODST pistol looks to be just right.

You're forgetting about the rate of fire. The M6D had a pretty decent rate of fire, so I don't think a 4 shot kill would slow down the game at all.

Hell, in Halo 1 I couldn't pull off consistent 3 shot kills, most of the time it was a 5 shot kill. But even then it didn't slow down the game a bit.

Halo CE; it's the one that canonically makes the most sense.

False. We could easily have the M6K.

During Reach, Spartans wore either Mark IV or Mark V armor. The problem with those two variants is that the suit couldn't recognize two weapons at once, so that's why in Halo 1 you didn't dual-wield. In Halo 2 and 3 you had Mark VI armor, which supported two weapons. Reach won't have dual-wielding.

To answer the OP's question, I loved the Halo 2 Magnum and really want it back in the mix.

That doesn't mean it would be as powerful.

Second acct: RC Zerg Rushes

Halo CE pistol.

  • 07.22.2009 8:24 PM PDT

"Momma didn't raise no fool."

The original Magnum is the best because it had a scope and was stronger. The one for ODST isn't made for Spartans, though. It's too small.

I had my own idea for a pistol. It was the same as H3's, but with a larger magazine and a scope. I think i'd like the ODST one a lot though.
