I believe a magnum is a good idea, no scope, similar to a desert eagle. Slow rate of fire, so slow dual wealded smg can kill u quicker. It should have a red dot sight(no scope) and have recoil but still be fairly accurate, with a clip of around 7-9 bullets. That would be good, and a BR would kill you quicker aswell.

you guys must all be crazy! there is not goung to be any -Blaming!- Magnum! Bungie hasnt said anything, no screenshots, no concept art, nothing! and besids, do you realy think that the human military; hundreds of years from now will be using magnums? standard issue? not likley. i mean honestly, this is Halo 2, not james bond! it has got to be the most rediculus idea for a weapon in H2 i have ever heard.

Bumgie has mentioned the Magnum but not in respects to Halo 2 however it is likely. In the old EGM and EDGE article's they said of the M6D and the MA5B were getting makeovers we know of one the Battle Rifle so it's logical that the Magnum is the made over pistol.

Maybe the Battle Rifle is a mix of the Assault Rifle and the M6D Pistol. That's my theory...as long as there is no definate answer on a new pistol. Maybe the "makeover" is more of a mixing.

Do you know that almost all of our military is better then the technology in halo? (excluding spaceships and spartans) Do you know what nano technology is? It is believed to be the future tech. that will be incorporated in armor, weapons, vehicles, etc. Does halo have any of that? No. Guns in R6 3 are better then in halo! NO, Covies will never be here on earth. oh, by the way, reasonably realistic? try... not at all. It's a thing called fiction my poor deprived little friend. Bungie will incorporate what ever they see fit. Their goal is to make the game fun, not realistic...

Life force either u havent a brain or....well there isnt another possible explanation. Nano technology isnt all its cracked up to be; it can only reform the material in some cases they can change the mollecular arangement but only in certain conditions can the chemical bonds be broken and then reformed into the propper material, especially with the simpler material it is only possible to reshape them into a few things, the chances that two atomic substances can be taken fromthe same material in two different places and connected directly are slim, now yes there is allways an element of unrealism to game like halo. Sure RB6 is more realistic, because it is in the present not the future, a game like halo is realistic to a degree but it is still in the future so we cannot see it as realistic. If u knew anything you would understand this


Actually I do dumb-blam!-. I never said that R 6 3 is more realistic (you put those in my mouth dumbass...) I said that the technology in R 6 3 is better then halo's current technology (which I might add is over 500 years in the future, now is that really realistic... no) what I have been trying to point out is that WHO CARES IF THEIR IS A MAGNUM! The game isn't real life anyway, so why not have it in their!?

Oh, by the way, have you even HEARD what the military is planning on using nano technology for!? You say I'm stupid; I'm the one trying to tell you who cares if a magnums in halo2. And you're the one saying that's not realistic, when the game isn't even CLOSE to being realistic...

[color=pink] the magnum was in the book so yes it is in the halo universe. and i geuss since nothing has said about the story line for halo 2 that there isn't a story line, it's only multiplayer. give me a break. it's called a secret, bungie uses them so that when the game comes out you're acctually surprized and intrigued by all the cool new features.

How can anyone say a magnum can ruin the balance of the game nobody has played it yet so we dont know how accurate or powerful it will be. And if you want a gun that ruins the balance of things play Halo for PC and watch all the noobs pick up the noob rod gun (fuel rod gun) now that thing fires way to fast and doesnt have to reload, I can only pray bungie gets rid of it or atleast changes its rate of fire.

i think it would ruin the balence because i think it would be extreamly dificult for bungie to live up to all your expectations, like way overpowered, large clip size, etc. it would be akin to the pistol in halo 1 mp. everybody would use it and probably duel-wield it, and it would ruin the balence. besides that, not only is it un realistic, its un possible! there is no way that a hand gun could fire a bullet with any range or power, at all, if said bullet is "the size of mc's thumb. i mean, with the armor, his thumb is probably 3/4 of an inch thick! now that is rediculous.

hey retard how would a slow, innacurate no scope 7-10 round clip be unbalanced? if you dont there ARE real bullets that are about a big a a mc' thumb and youre a -blam!- tht probaly gets owned at Halo with the pistol

What's rediculous? I know what ridiculous is but not rediculous could you help me out. Also the power of the new handgun will be offset by other traits like slower rate of fire so it wont be overpowered.

Hey to all of you complaining about duel wielding,Do you know how strong this gun is?Mabey it is so strong that the MC has to use 2 hands while using it,mabey it has EXTREME recoil making it almost impossible to duel wield.....SO quit your -blam!-ing and stop making assumptions about a weapon that there is almost nothing known about....

Have you heard of a 50 cal bullet? The desert eagle uses this bullet in a non-shatter unit which,in case you didnt know is VERY blunt and designed to make as big a hole as possible...this bullet is about 3/4 of an inch thick....that is today....500 years in the futer i would not be suprised if a scientist found a way to reduce the kick back and make a bullet BIGGER than than for a handgun....Stop talking trash to people before you get the facts

(Ps-Before you try to prove me wrong,im holding a genuine DE bullet in my hand right now ;)
