War, War never changes.

Got my Recon from the Vidmaster achievments, like most.
Reach IS awesome, don't deny it

As alot of you know, in Halo 3 infecton the most common style of zombie is fast and weak. However (if it will still exist in Reach) we will more than likely have a Halo 1 pistol in Reach. Will this destroy the more common infection types? Zombies will certainly have an even harder time trying to kill people than they already have.

This kid's 14th in Europe. Don't even bother calling me bad.

More likely than not REACH will work in different ways to Halo 3, so I think it would be better to think about possible game variants later on, possibly when the beta comes out.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

The reason why the Halo Comabt Evolved pistol didn't make it to Halo 2 or 3, was because it was way too over-powered.

Bungie doesn't want a weapon that is crazy hard to balance, they don't want 1 weapon that dominates the weapon sandbox, and the Halo 1 pistol does that. They only added a pistol like that into ODST because you aren't playing match making. You aren't going up against other people. You are going up against artificial intelligence.

The BR was way more powerful in Halo 2 then it was in Halo 3, Halo 3's BR is nerfed, and I think it is perfect how it is. I wouldn't mind seeing other mid-ranged weapins, like the MA5K.

But I can't see a pistol as powerful as the Halo 1 pistol coming back.

We already have a Halo 1 pistol. It's called the Battler Rifle.
*Reflects upon the change from Halo: CE to Halo 2*

We already have a battle rifle. It's called the kickass Halo: CE pistol.

However, back on subject, there's no way the pistol in Reach will be exactly the same as the CE one. It was simply overpowered. They'll probably have the dual-wielders from Halo 3 or a dumbed-down version of the CE pistol. Or both.
