Subject: //building the perfect pistol//

I believe I have an idea for how to wake a perfectly BALANCED pistol. after playing odst, I saw the auto mag was quite balanced when fighting brutes as its head shots are useless due to low sield damadg, making it a finishing weapon. first of all, the pistol looks perfect in halo 3, but needs a few tweeks. first off it should fire faster like the auto mag, and take about 5/6 shots (out of 8 .rd magazine) to take shields down, but only 2/3 shots or headshot to take down shieldless opponents. it should have a 2x scope, but you can only use it in single wield.


overall, i think it would be a good complement to the assault rife's small magazine, making a perfect mid-range finishing weapon/ usefull duel wield weapon.


anyway, feel free to comment/ offer suggestions. and yes, i like /'s.

Why do you care about balance so much? Since when is holding a damn gun in your hand supposed to make things even?

Scroll down until you see the pistol.

A pistol should not have a scope. Nor should the SMG. It doesn't make sense. These are close quarters weapons. If you want to make then useful, you either make them more accurate, or increase their power. Scopes are not the best solution.

We don't even know what the game will be like. There's literally no information about it. In fact, there shouldn't even be a forum. Bungie is notorious for teasing you a year in advance and then doing nothing until release gets close.

I.E., why the ODST page wasn't updated much until two weeks ago.
