no, because 1 it's spelt reticle, not redicil or whatever you wrote, and 2, the magnum in H3 has a scope already.


troll, anyways H3 magnum's rate of fire and damage are fine. The only thing that is a bit sketchy with it is aiming. Throwing in the scope would be a bonus for it.

I hunt for the Prophet of Contentment, the San 'Shyumm that murdered my son, and stole his birthright, his Energy Sword. They call our species Heretics. They claim to all that our tongues sting, our words a vile poison that feeds on the unworthy. I have seen the true face of Heresy. The head of a gallant warrior lay on the ground. His neck scorched and blistered, scarred by his own blade. I shall retrieve the weapon, and drive it through that bastard's heart! Punishment for his sins is nigh.

is the halo 1 pistol the same as the odst one.idk i havent played halo one yet


no.
the halo one pistol is stronger than a sniper (almost) : 2 body shots + 1 headshot to kill, no bullet spread, infinite range (can snipe with it) and it shoots like 2 bullets per seconds.

the ODST pistol is more like the postpatch H2 pistol.

Dude, the Halo CE pistol had a horrible bullet spread. Alot of people just forget all the times they spent 7-8+ shots trying to kill a guy at mid range with it.

But yeah, take the Halo 2 Pistol, put a scope and silencer on it, and BAM, ODST pistol.

I assure you I can 3 shot people on HCE with NO problem and NOT miss one bullet.

Halo ODST's pistol sucked ass.

Just like any of the other pistols, it was good for headshots on evemies that didn't have shields. I would rather have the Halo 1 Pistol silenced.

why they didnt put the halo 1 pistol in odst?

Perception is everything.

I'm going to screw your post, and imagine all of the pistols, halo 1-odst. Now! If they had the Halo CE pistol in reach, it would be awesome, but it would also mean they replace the br, which would make other people very happy, but I have decided on how I would like it. I think they should keep the ODST pistol. It would actually be a secondary starting weapon.

The way I picture it:

Starting Weapons:
ODST SMG(No silencer)
ODST Pistol

Reason being, the ODST SMG is an effective weapon, with a little range, and a scope that doesn't reach the other end of the map. It's not too powerful(actually a little weak)so it would be great. It takes a good, accurate clip to take away shields. Then you could just pop out your ODST Pistol (which has a halo 1 type feel to it) and pop 'em in the head. This pistols not very good for taking down shields alone, but it's a good backup, and is always good for headshots. It would also be great for swat, because it would add variety to it rather than just a br and carbine, which both have a better scope to this fast pistol.

NOTE:Dual wielding would be out as well, except for an option in custom games.

Now, for the BR, my downgrade is pretty simple. Keep everything the same, except it takes 5 headshots, rather than 4, to kill an enemy.

This is my idea. You are not going to like it, but get over it and deal with it. We can have our own opinions.

Dear Bungie,

I have been a loyal Halo player since the fateful day when my brother brought home an Xbox and Halo: Combat Evolved. I bought one and a copy of Halo as soon as I could save the money. I was heartbroken when Halo 2 slaughtered the pistol. I know you all love to make the game have "balance" but taking the best weapon in any Halo game away is not a reasonable move. For my sake and the millions of fans that love that pistol more than any other weapon, for good reason, please put it back in the game, without making compromises to its design, for Halo Reach. The ODST pistol was a great start but you should go back to the full fledged original. I don't, and I'm sure many people don't care if the battle rifle is removed in return. It sucks anyways; just as long as the original pistol is restored to the Chief's side.

Thank you for your time,

Pat

Big Team Battle Multiflag/Slayer on Standoff/Valhalla/Sandtrap/Avalanche = Win

Dual pistols was stupid, I'd rather have one sturdy pistol that can compete with an assault rifle from a med+ distance, then two little airsoft pistols.

There is no lag on a LAN game so of course getting a 3-shot wouldn't be much of a challenge.

The ODST pistol is just as good as the Halo 1 pistol, but it shoots faster.

No, it's not. It's damage is laughable, the only thing it's good for is unshielded headshots.

It's essentially the post-patch Halo 2 pistol with a scope and suppressor.

The Halo 1 pistol.
what is it with that!!so many people want the halo:CE pistol and they they say the BR is overpower'd!!the CE pistol was like a sniper with a larger clip.

  • 09.26.2009 8:50 PM PDT

Does anyone else think it looks awkward holding two pistols in halo 3?
