Subject: Would you like to see the Halo: CE pistol in Reach?

I know I would, just make it 3 shots to the head kills, rather than 3 shots anywhere.

How to spell "space"?

S-P-ACE! SPACE!

It wasn't 3 shots anywhere, it already was 3 headshots.

I think that ODST's pistol would be more balanced.

Or they could balance whatever medium range weapon they put into Reach so that it works with whatever other weapons they have in Reach.

yes agreed.

it was 5 body shots, 3 headshots for CE pistol.

why would you want it? it was way too overpowered.

I'm posting this after playing Halo CE with my brother, I tested it, shot him in the foot 3 times, and got a point.

i agree that it should come back. on legendary it kills elites in about 10 shots i think (9 to shields and 1 to head). it should make a return to campaign but not multiplayer.

Here’s what Luke had to say about the differences in treatment between the Spartans and Elites in Reach:

“Instead of piece-by-piece customization like the Spartans, Elite customization is a full model swap with models selected from the various Elite classes appearing throughout the Campaign. There are all kinds of reasons for this, not the least of which is our continued emphasis on the Spartan as your identity in Reach.”

As worthless as they were I miss the Halo 2 pistols. if they were more accurate and did slightly more damage they would be worth using. the pistol should be A CQC weapons I liked the magnum in Halo 3. it just sounded lame and the fire rate was unbearable

I'm thinking Bungie has a great opportunity ahead of them as far as weapons are concerned.

UNSC weapons they SHOULD have:
- Battle Rifle
- ODST SMG
- Halo 3 SMG
- ODST Pistol
- Halo 3 Assault Rifle
- Sniper Rifle (one clip per round)
- Shotgun (slightly more distance from Halo 3, less spray)

I feel like these weapons will be their sweet spot in terms of balancing. I personally think if they do these all right, then we do not by any means need the Halo CE pistol. I believe the ODST pistol was as close and balanced as it could get, honestly.

Also, the SMG was indeed a POS, but I feel it should stay, with its spawns more common and readily available - like a standard side-arm.
