Why do people keep putting spaces in the link? Or is there some problem with something?

shishka i am saying this as speculation dont contradict me,
expect the new pistol to be a magnum firing pistol. not a magnum
but an M6D look but bigger with no scope, a better grip, less
accuaracy, and less rounds in a clip. i think it will back more
of a punch. maybe stunning the enmy.

Why would older Halo screens have anything to do with the new game?

  • 08.06.2004 8:10 AM PDT

if u read my first post u would know but if u must know before the game was coming out for xbox they had tons of weapons but microsoft bought bungie so they changed the game from like mac to xbox and the had a tight due date so a ton of levels and weapons and fetures were left out

  • 08.06.2004 8:12 AM PDT

Gee, thanks for the history lesson. I had no idea that Bungie was picked up by Microsoft and the focus and timeline for the game release had been altered.

Big thumbs up for you!

That still doesn't mean that they are going to just throw a -blam!-load of old ideas in there from the earlier builds. Youmight as well start a post declaring that Halo 2 is going to be third person perspective because some of the older designs were designed that way.

I'm glad the pistol is gone, that sucker was way to lethal and who has ever heard of zooming with a handgun?

The zoom was smart linked with his helmet, he saw it inside his visor thingy

If the zoom was in the visor then why can't I zoom every weapon?

because not every weapon is MJOLNIR armor compatible

Because most of the weapons couldnt shoot the ground at long range, what good would it do to zoom an unaccurate weapon?

  • 08.06.2004 8:39 AM PDT

But the zooming feature is in the visor. Who gives a -blam!- what's in MC's hand at that point, it's simply optical or digital zooming via the visor, right?

As far as zooming an inaccurate weapon, you could easily hit with the machine gun or even grenades more accurately with a zoom.

Well, the SCOPE was smart linked with his visor, and that would be dumb if you could zoom every weapon

  • 08.06.2004 8:42 AM PDT

Yes, because having the optical zoom in the visor somehow explains that certain weapons (even one handed to you by a non-MJOLNIR captain) effect how the suit works in any capacity.

This has taken a turn for the stupid. I really don't care about the imaginary technology involved, my main point is that zooming a pistol is dumb and makes it way more lethal then it should be. In fact, I'd much rather have it in my hot little hands than any other weapon. It's not balanced, it's brutal.

There are alot of pistols with scopes on them. And almost every pistol can be modified to have a scope on it, havent you ever seen a revolver with a scope on it. Also the magnum is different from the M6D, It is way different, probably (and hopefully) it will be like the one that was pointed out in the begining of this post, that thing is huge. Oh and the smartlink is the picture from the scope on the weapon is transmitted to the chiefs visor, so if the weapon doesnt have a scope............ The thing that will be good is that now they are making all the weeapons really good so people wont just focus on the pistol. The problem wasnt that the pistol was overpowered it was that the other guns were underpowered, so every one went for the good gun (pistol) now even if the magnum can kill you in two shots, people wont just automatically go for it because the other weapons are good too.

dont ask me how i got thisinfo. i dont want to be ninjafied. the new pistol will be completely black as well as the tank. and it will have no scope a 10 shot clip, a little less powerfull,and will be dual wieldable.

i know where u got that info but that would not make any logical sense that a weapon that fires bullets twice the size of the orrigional pistol would be less powerfull, think about it!!

Oh and the pistol you are talking about is prolly a modified M6D, or the new version of the M6D, which i know is there because i saw it in the ..................... wait i dont want nijafication but use your imagination and fill in the blank
