Now I'm sure with the "Pistols" recent re-covery in ODST there might be a shot at us getting it back in Halo:REACH. I'd like to see it, I liked the M6D, and the Automag seems cool. I hated the Magnum, and Halo3's would be good but it's useless.

It might be nice to have a few different pistols. Balanced so that they each have their own positives and negatives.

How about one of the pistols in the M6 class we haven't seen yet?

Signatures are for squares.

M6D should do just fine with minor modification.

M6D, but it should be a five shot kill.

Put a scope on the Halo 3 magnum and it'd be perfect.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

I'd actually like to see the big 'HE' pistols from the underground ONI base in Menachite Mountain.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

M6D was actually semi-automatic, but I want it in its "auto" state. M6D! M6D! M6D!

I think they should bring back the Halo CE pistol.

If not this, then a Halo 1 pistol that takes 6 shots to kill, has a 12 round clip, and has no scope.

Look... I'm on bungiepedia!

BR -- like in the E3 demo (single shot, no spread)

Pistol -- same ROF and power as in Halo 1/Halo 3 ODST, same range as in ODST, no scope, silenced. Not dual wieldable (nothing should be, dual wielding ruins the weapon sandbox).

  • 08.08.2009 9:56 PM PDT

Cheehwawa, did you get my message?

And how can you say that about dual wielding after reading my thread?

Realistically it would have to be the M6D because of the timeline...there were a few prototype Magnums on Reach but they werent widely available, and the Automag wasnt in production.

So you want your pistol to be stronger than your BR, thats cool

As long as the Pistol doesn't kill the Vehicle driver in manner of seconds

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

Halo 2 with a scope. Dual wieldable.

The M6D was automatic. I would like it back, but if the BR is to return, I think that the M6D should lose its scope, gain a silencer, and kill in 6 shots rather than 3. Everything else should be identical including ROF and range.

Both. It would be nice if we had all the weapons ever made for the Halo Universe in that game. For the campaign anyway.

I say, have two.

One that has a slow rate of fire and a small size clip, but is more powerful in terms of how long it takes to kill an enemy, and one that has a much higher rate of fire and a large clip.

NO GROUP INVITES!!!

A scoped pistol.. i don't mind which as long as it works like a rifle as M6D did. That way the game doesn't need BR :P
A scoped pistol is more original and interesting than a rifle like weapon anyway, even though it might not be so realistic. But then Halo and Realistic are not used in same sentence.
