I know I will get flak for this question. Can you snipe with pistol like in HALO: CE. Did they mention if the pistol variant will be available for any of the new multiplayer maps outside of FireFight?

Well, you could theoretically snipe with it because it has the scope used on the current BR, but I don't know if it has range limitations or not. And I am almost positive that the pistol is only in campaign and firefight for balance reasons.

I don't think so. Those Brutes are certainly not push overs. The grunts would die in one pistol shot to the head, but the Brutes could take a beating.

So is the Auto Mag as powerful as the Halo 1 magnum? Or near the power of the Halo 2 magnum?

How strong are the enemies. Obviously you're not a spartan so one shot from a brute shot should kill you really right?


On Halo 3 it only takes one on Legendary.

on slaso 2 shots or 1 shots when you have low shield not sure though sry for the bad eng

Lighter than some would destroy the squad with a hunting rock.

But in all seriousness, they could be there repairing Brute Shields, fixing tanks, etc etc.

I'm not sure if this has been asked already, but in Firefight, how are the waves ordered? For example, are 10 waves considered a set?

The brutes have alot better shielding than in halo 3, and it takes more melee after the shields are down because........well..............your an odst.

1. Will i be able to change the difficulty, and will doing so will it affect achivements?
2. Will it be fun unlike I got bored with GOW 2's Hord in a week?

3. Does it have that adrenaline feeling you get when playing halo?

1.Yes and only in campaign the difficulty affects achievements
2.Ya skulls will give you more of a challenge as you progress
3. hell yes, well, for me atleast

After the first round or two, did it feel like it was becoming more and more chaotic and you were unable to control what was going on? I'm just wondering how quickly it becomes hard. Also, is the next wave deployed after a set time, such as 3 minutes, or does the game wait until you kill all of the previous wave?
