Clearly because the desktop uses a 3 prong plug and a laptop uses a 2 prong plug, the microwave will fill your car with tostitos better

I'd like to see a 5 Shot kill pistol with a 1.5x scope and a slightly faster rate of fire than the Halo 3 pistol.

Aren't both pistols 1 shot headshots? Personally, I would prefer the ODST one just cause it's horrible for taking down shields, but its a good headshot weapon which makes it... uh I don't know but it would be fun in multiplayer.

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

I liked the Automag. Same thing as the H2 one but with an added 2x zoom.

Let's Dance.

I would go with the Halo 3 Pistol as it is right now for multiplayer. Takes about 6 or so shots to kill someone, and it is dual wieldable. Now if I wasn't playing multiplayer I'd want something like the ODST pistol, I swear the bullets are magnetized to grunts noggins. So really a hybrid between both of them would be ideal. I'd almost say (since there is a huge anti-BR out there) take the BR make it single shot, 8 body shots to kill someone with full shields about 1/3 less time between shots compared to the Halo 3 pistol. Take the pistol in the game make it shoot as fast as you can pull the trigger but with full shields takes about a clip and a half to kill someone with body shots.

What if they take the odst pistol and put those halo 3 bullets.U no.make it a little more powerful.But still ahs that odst in it

  • 10.19.2009 1:45 PM PDT

well, in the first halo, the magnum was seriously overpowered, its a 5 shot weapon. the halo 1 pistol is not like the ODST one because the halo 1 pistol had alot more damage and no like jerk thing. but the only similarity is the scope. though i would prefer the Halo 1 or CE pistol because the ODST pistol was after reach....

Takes 3 body shots and 1 head shot. It has a horrible rate of fire though, i think its the weapon with the worst rate of fire in the game after the rocket.

I'm just a guy like you that plays halo.

The ODST pistol was designed for ODST's not Spartans. The pistol was for silent kills via headshot, since the ODST aren't as tough as Spartans they relie on stealth as opposed to brute action packed combat. But i would like to see the ODST's pistol modified a bit, by that i mean no silencer and more shield piercing not as effective as the BR or any other weapon but twice as powerful as the ODST pistol and it shoots 1.2 times faster. Still pretty weak against shields as it [ODST pistol] takes 2 clips (24 bullets) to take down a brutes shields, so therefore not overpowered, this would explain why it has no silencer as it's more powerful bullets.

an accurate and a little more powerful M6C

  • 10.19.2009 2:30 PM PDT

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

Alright please, someone give me a reason why we cant have both? cause as of now I've heard only one other person with the same opinion and no one else has eve given me a reason why they cant both be in the game? did bungie say so?

  • 10.21.2009 6:29 AM PDT

BYAHH

The ODST pistol is the better of the two. It is a well balanced alternative to the BR.

  • 10.21.2009 6:30 AM PDT

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

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

the halo 1 pistol could kill a hunter on legendary in 3 shots

1 shot actually. It 3 shots a player in MP, 1 shots a Hunter on Legendary.

in h1 hunters backs were counted as heads. headshot = instakill no matter how powerful or weak the default damage is, or the difficulty setting.

I assure you I can 3 shot people on HCE with NO problem and NOT miss one bullet.
there is no spread at all.


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


Getting a TSK is much much harder than 4 shotting in halo 3.

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.


WTH are u talking about??? the halo 1 pistol killed in 5 shots if u hit the head. but it took most people more because in halo 1 u had to lead a lot more.

i think most people who comment on the H1 pistol havent even played halo 1.

i play it every other day and i can tell you that its no god-like weapon.

its not nearly as strong has an elite with a plasma rifle when they get up close, and its even harder when they dodge you.

Wheres the none option?

I choose the Halo 2 pistol. It was the only realistic pistol of the three games.

The ODST pistol is too much like the BR, as is the Halo 1 pistol. Both are too overpowered.

The Halo 3 pistol is boring and shoots too slow.

However, the Halo 2 pistol was cool because you could shoot it as fast as you could pull the triggers. It was useless single wielded, but with a slight power boost it could fill the role of a real pistol nicely.
