The pistol in Halo 2 will be toned down, correct? Not as powerful, no scope, and less ammo per clip. I can't remember if I read it in a weekly update or if someone was just bs-ing on the forum.

Yeah, if it's in there, it's going to be a lot weaker than it was in Halo.

where does it say that there even will b a pistol

  • 08.08.2004 2:05 PM PDT

SB-117

Yeah someone said, who apparently knows someone who has the beta, that theres a magnum with no scope and 10 rounds per clip but its far from reliable. Seems reasonable though the rest of his info. was spot on.

Yeah that's not very reliable sounding info, the only official thing we have about the pistol is that the magnum pistol was in First Strike. Think of the books what you will, but they were written from the Halo Bible and with full authority from Bungie, so that's why I think it will be in there. We'll see Nov 9, or maybe Aug 24 with all the new info (Not a demo or full game, thank you)

"Fred peered inside and saw a rack of handguns. They weren't the standard-issue HE pistols; these had oversized barrels - easily 30 percent larger and longer - and they had grips of self-molding plastasteel. He picked one up and hefted it - its balance was barrel-heavy, to be expected from an unloaded pistol. He found three boxes of clips in the bottom of the locker, opened one and took out a clip. Whatever this new handgun shot, it was high caliber, slugs the size of his thumb. He slid the clip into the gun, and it secured with a satisfying clack.
Now it was perfectly balanced, far better than the standard-issue sidearm."

I'd love to get my hands on one of those...

For the only time. That's not necessarily true.

I'm not new, and what has been said is that the old pistol has been replaced by the BR and the AR by the SMG. This however is a new pistol, different balance and uses for it. We wont know until the game comes out nov 9 or if it's in the influx of info on Aug 24.

explanation #097

the pistol is replaced by the BR. the pistol has 12 rounds. the BR has 12 burst shots of three rounds[36 total]. the BR is two handed, so you cant have any of that dual weild shinanigans with it. the BR takes 8 rounds to the dome to kill someone. thats 3 head shots... or scoped-8. but in scope mode, you fire the weapon like the plasma pistol.

the new pistol is weaker, can be dual weildable, and is supposed to be a lot of fun. 10 rounds? i dont know. i heard it was 15... but who here knows? i want it, tho!

There is no confirmed pistol. If bungie doesn't say it, don't beleive it.

uh, yeah, there basically is a confirmed pistol--- it takes thought-- you can dual weild. if you could dual weild in a game that had an alien pistol but no normal pistol... well, i dont know what that would mean. other than its not going to happen in halo2. bungie is the books, which are official, which means.... nevermind. i cannot make the blind see.

No one here does, when Halo 2 comes out and it doesn't have a pistol I am sure all the people on this thread that talked about one wouldn't be surprized at all, they are just talking about a weapon they have read about in the books and would like to see in-game.
