[color=lime]first off, a bullet in the head means certain death. so picture yourself playing Halo 2 with your magnum out. you see a few grunts rounding the corner, take aim and boom, they fall to the ground just as fast because you shot each in the head.

Remember facing off against an elite with pistol only? It kinda is annoying until you pop that sheild, then one shot in the head will do the trick. Same will happen with magnum, same strategy will apply.

Multiplayer however is a completely different story. I have a feeling head shots will be alot tougher this time around since the magnum will not be gun of choice. I also think that if someone is getting low on ammo, or a shield pops, that magnum wil be out quick.[/color]

yes... i beleive u....

my OPINION about the pistol is that it should be 3 shots to pop the sheild, then 2 shots to the head for a kill instead of the 2 shots to pop sheild and 1 shot to head for the kill. dual weilding, it would be 2.5 shots, which is basically just as fast as in halo 1, but i would take out the scope. this way, dual weilding would be an advantage, but not too much of one. also, 2 shots to the head is harder to get that just one (obviously).

this way if the battle rifle is gonna be 3 3 round bursts to kill a guy, the dual magnum pistols would be about as powerful as the battle rifle unzoomed, but the pistols would not be able to zoom, so the battle rifle would have an advantage.

if you have a helmet. a good one. the best that technology can make. the ones spartans wear.

and you can survive after being shot in the head with a few ar rounds in halo.

dude you dont know how the magnum will perform. it may have bad accuracy or something like that. you seem to think it will be just like the first pistol.

the magnum should have good accuracy at reasonally good range and then have a dissapointing downfall of the bullet at long ranges (the bullets would probably be big and heavy for maximum damage) and have a slower rate of fire, like maybe 1 shot in the time the Halo1 pistol takes to shoot 2, or maybe 3 but that may be a little too slow...so new pistol to old pistol fire rate should be like 1:2-2.5

to reload it should be like a revolver, or at least make the clip size like 6-8 bullets so you couldnt just shoot 12 shots at a target with extreme accurace and kill him in 3 shots, it should have a slower rate of fire and a longer reload time, but more power.

Guess what you two win?? The idiot prize. Here ya go. Did you ever notice how BR is the replacement for the AR. Seeing as the AR was a 2 handed RIFLE, and so is the BR. And the SMG couldnt replace the pistol, so its obvious that its a whole new weapon, is your tiny brain still following?? Okay, continuing, you can't replace a pistol with a RIFLE ever heard of how RIFLEs aren't pistols, thank you. They'll more than definitely have a side arm, why would they just take out a pistol because you lil whiners are acting like n**bs and you can't handle the fact that a new player can own you with it.

u dumbass, it doesnt matter how the weapon looks, the BR has same zoom, range, rapidness (when zoomed) as the pistol, only thing different from BR to pistol is damage and burst fire. the smg shoots jus as rapid as AR, but dual weildable, that is how there is equality

BR=P
SMG=AR

no, u won the idiot award u cocky son of a-blam!-

Haha, what a weak attempt at a flame. Once again, I state the fact. How can you replace pistol with a RIFLE. Dumbass.

Thank YOU too! I can't stand when people open there mouths and flame others when they are the idiots for not fully understanding the post they flame. Also Darkhellfire, before you get into what weapons held with how many hands, use your common sense to determine: Assualt rifle and SMG, are both rapid fire, and the Pistol and Battle Rifle both have zoom, and you should go for the head, the only differenct being that the battle rifle is three shot burst when not zoomed in. So go play with your toys, and let the grown-ups have a conversation.

Adults?? More like an idiot who wouldnt know reason if it bit him on the ass. Okay, so, now your saying the BR is the new sidearm?? Since when was a Rifle a sidearm, tell me that?? Please?? I want to know how it magically became a sidearm.

The pistol in halo wasn't really a sidearm, there arent really "sidearms" in halo, just REALLY kick ass guns. You're getting too technical with this, bungie doesn't care if they replace a one handed gun with a two handed gun, if they both do practically the same thing, the only differences are cosmetic, and some for balance. You must play counter-strike if you are THAT -blam!- when it comes to guns. So shut up and us people who KNOW what they are talking about, will continue to keep people like you in line.
