Well, I'm glad to hear that from some build of HALO 2 the Pistol is currently absent from the list, apparently replaced by the Magnums that we all remember from "First Strike".

Apparently, it looks similar but is black and has no scope. PERFECT. PERFECT.

Dual-wielding Magnums with a shotgun and grenades for reserve. WATCH OUT.

But thanks for the Magnum - often times in HALO MP it would turn into Pistol-fest.

THANKS BUNGIE!

Who said that bungie is putting in this "magnum"? Is it from the books?

Just to let you know the Magnum is MORE POWERFULL than the M6D was in halo, so it has just as much chance of happening but i doubt it will because now all weapons are perfect not just the pistol.

'Tis seems so. There was a mention of a pistol, and that you could dual weild it. But that's it. Then in FS, there's a mention from Fred about Magnums with "Slugs the size of his thumb." So Basically everyone is interpreting it as "The New Pistol."

Yes allthough i think the M6D will also be in because i saw it in a *Insert greek word for B*. But now because we have stronger shields the M6D will take longer to kill us prolly 4 to 5 shots.

I know in halo the pistol was a 50 cal (12.7mm)

If it is in the books it is in the game, i am not saying it is the pistol talked of in the magazine but it most likely is.

Pretty dang big i would imagine: it is allmost twice the size of the orrigional, no more like 78 percent bigger from the books than the orrigional.

Just because it is a magnum dose not mean that it will be more powerful at all.

So a weapon that fires slugs that are twice the size of another will be less powerfull than that other, it is more powerfull

And of course bungie said that eh? No I don't think so. Magnum might be in but it doesn't replace anything. You don't know if the m6d is out.

You have it all wrong, the pistol in Halo CE WAS a magnum calibur, but it also had explosive semi-armor piercing tips, now the new pistol is believed to be a bigger bullet, but wont have the crazy-tips. It may be just as strong, but with no scope or such great accuracy.

In the books (Which are officially supported by bungie) they say the slug is the size of a spartans thumb, this would be somewhere around an inch prolly a little more, the M6D fires 12.7 mm rounds which is about half an inch a little more. So the magnum fires bullets twice the size of the M6D, actually a little less but i am not trying to be overly accurate just get the point accross.
