Either this is going to fail tragically or It'll actually work and I'll be a god among men...

Thats what Im saying, they fill different roles and they both bring something different things to the game play. Variety is what Halo needs. The number of covenant weapons vs. the number of human weapons isn't equal. Im not saying that they should be but they should be closer together than they are in number.

M6/SOCOM would be nice if it did a little more shield damage.

The ODST pistol was seriously tanked. It was the best in the game

the whole point of a tank is to be stronger than anything else out there, which the odst pistol wasn't. It was superior with head shots, but couldn't punch through shields well... I'm rather sure that a tank can easily blow through shields.

I rather liked the Halo 2 pre-patch pistol. If I remember correctly you could kill someone with 7 headshots +/- one or two.

I do not like the post patch one where it took a whole mag of headshots, rendering it useless.

In the end. Pre-patch was useful but not overpowered since you could beat it with the BR.

Join Sector 8b thats a awesome group, help us to save humanity

WE NEED YOU !!! FOR EARTH !!!

whats about the Halo ce handgun and the Halo 2 handgun ? cause my favorite is the halo 2 handgun and ja I know its the same like the M6 Socom but its two different versions so its different

I want all in halo reach that would make the game a lot better , I want different types of guns in halo like :

both AR types
two BR types , one full automatic like in halo arms race and one fire burst or single shot <

both plasma rifles

two different plasma pistols ( Halo CE and Halo 3 )

only one human sniper type but I want it with night vision like in halo ce

two fuel rod gun types ( Halo 3 and Halo ce pc)

only one rocket launcher but not the Halo 2 one cause I dont like it

two needler types ( Halo 2 needler with double wielding , Halo 3 without double wielding )

both smg types ( regular and silence type )

only one shotgun but please the Halo 3 one cause only 6 shot is better )

and something like the missile pod just from the covenant would be awesome and I know what would be perfect for that I remember that maybe 2-3 weeks ago had somebody the idea for a needler mortar ! he had scripts of his idea so ! I think thats an awesome idea !

The Halo 1 pistol. The ODST is garbage when you think about it. A whole clip will not be enough to kill someone online.

They should bring back the Halo CE pistol in the form of the BR(single shot), because it doesn't make sense for a pistol to have a scope and to be that powerful.

The problem with Halo 3 is that there is no reliable mid-range weapon, therefore dumbing combat down since the only way to get consistent results is to be in close range. This is in part due to the BR sucking with it's ridiculous spread and packet loss.

If Bungie gives us a single-shot, 2x scope weapon that kills in 3-4 shots and has a Halo CE pistol-esque RoF that has no spread and is immune to packet loss, then mid-range combat will be consistently viable and the game will be more fun and challenging.

I'm not saying it has to be overpowered, either. The Halo CE pistol still could lose at close range to rockets, sniper, and perhaps the shotgun, and could lose at long range to the sniper. The beauty of it is that the pistol-wielder always had a fighting chance, but the power weapon-holder had a slight advantage, but not to the extent of Sniper/Laser/Rockets vs almost anything in Halo 3.

The M6D was supposed to have explosive bullets I think. Thats why it was so powerful.

The reason the ODST pistol was bad against shields is because they wanted the players to rely on tactics rather than an overpowered gun.
SMG takes down shields, Finish with a headshot.

i would like to see a more accurate M6C from halo 2 and maybe a little more damage; it took 13 shots to kill it has a 12 round mag.

H2 magnum, with a bit more damage, and a bit longer range.

  • 10.17.2009 4:31 PM PDT

Either this is going to fail tragically or It'll actually work and I'll be a god among men...

i was referring to the odst pistol first off. second i liked the H1 pistol as well. The odst pistol is strictly a tactical based weapon, so if the odst have it and the odst are (obviously) on reach then it's gonna be there.

oh my god, guys the freaking odst pistol was not tanked. I swear, it sucked vs. shields (automatic no tankage right there) it was designed for precision hits against weaker foes in order to achieve numerical advantage and then take on the shielded targets on a more even playing field.

Enjoi Pandas Skateboard now you know why i have Panda for a avatar

How about a UZI or a SMG with more perks more trick out one

a pistol with a Heart beat motion tracker on the side of it like MW2 one

Try this:

Covenant:
-plasma rifle (brute: non-dual-wield)
-plasma rifle (Elite: less damage, sower over heat rate, dual-wield)
-plasma pistol H3 version
-Brute spiker no change
-mauler no change
-carbine no change
-The H3 Fuel Rod only
-needler no change (one of the more powerful weapons)
-Beam Rifle no change

UNSC:

-H3 rocket launcher
-H3 AR
-H3 SMG
-ODST SMG
-H1 pistol (explosive rounds/no HUD link)
-ODST pistol (HUD link)
-H3 BR (nothing wrong with it, fourshot still possible and it works at mid range.)
-H3 Shotgun
-H3 Sniper

Non inventory weapons:

-Missle pod
-50. Cal

-Plasma cannon
-Heavy Needler - it has a stand similar to the missle pod and has a tracing ability (anti-vehicle)

I am the leader of the Halo Machinima team TEAMHALOSWAT, or THS for short. Make sure to visit www.teamhaloswat.blogspot.com for THS news.

halo 3's because itd be a backup

halo 3 odst's because if someone is 1-shot you can finish them off quickly

as far as just using the pistol as a weapon, halo 3's because (before you say "ur high") odst's sucks against sheilds; in other words: halo 3's

BUT, what bout halo 2's, because i would definitely want that

I do have to ask, who decided that we couldn't have multiple pistols? we keep arguing about which pistol to put in, why not go with the multiple types? and if *you* don't like one great, there are those who do like it and having the multiple types reaches out to the other players and thus brings in more players... plus more weapons means you are less likely to run into players who just spam one type of gun online... variety is what Im calling for here, and with variety everyone is happy.
