your voting options aren't wide enough

yes the m6c acts more like a pistol and is realistic (not in power)

the m6d also packs a hard punch and has a 2x zoom


you need options like

the m6c due to firing speed, handling, and availability

the m6d due to raw power, zoom capability, and slow firing rate


see what i mean? you need more opinionated options

Fix the Halo 3 BR spread, plz.

I think it's stupid for a pistol to have a very high power. I'm glad they changed it to the BR.

Isn't their firing rate th same, but M6D Is Semi-AP? I think dudes in halo 1 use it like a rifle, and the M5AB as an smg!

I knew that. I just think it's stupid to put explosive rounds in a pistol when you can do that in any other weapons. How about an explosive round AR or BR or something? WHy should they make a sidearm powerful like that?

I like both, actually. In my opinion, the reason Bungie made the M6C was because of dual weilding. If they left the M6D as is with the option of dual weilding, there would be no other weapon combo used by players. I think that what they did was a good idea, but they should have put a full auto option on the M6C. Other than that, I think their decision was sound (I just love the whole image of running around with two pistols...) Also, I think they should have made a semi option on the BR as well as a full auto option...but again, just my opinion.

Ah, but the M6D also has a 'semi-automatic' firing rate. It doesn't depend on your trigger finger, unlike the M6C.

Here's a another stupid reason why I like the M6D. It sounds cooler to say. It just rolls off your tongue. M6D. M6C.

Thirdly, it's silver. Shiny, shiny, shiny... Oooh.

Fourthly, that's the main pose of Red vs Blue. The pistol. That's what made it come to life.

So the pistol isn't as crappy as a normal sidearm. If you can kill with any weapon, so be it. No point in losing a primary rifle, then having to piss the bastard off by chipping his jaw with the most worthless piece of scrap metal ever created. So the pistol is basically like another rifle... It's effective.

Yes, but why give that explosive rounds, if say teh BR could be twice as strong as the pistol if it has explosive rounds?

Like I said, mate. So there's balance throughout the arsenal. No point in having one especially strong rifle. That's all you would ever use. I mean, sure, the pistol may be strong, but it's clearly not my choice on Legendary. I almost never use it in a huge LAN, and so on.

And if you were in the game, saying pretend, you could accidentally drop your rifle... Or it runs out of ammo. You'll have to resort to your sidearm. I think you'd be much more thankful that the scientists up at ONI, or UNSC thought enough of you to think of putting more power into the pistol. They were thinking of you, mate. I'm sure they weren't going:
"The Rifle is strong. It's perfect, Gentlemen!"
"What about if it runs out of ammo?"
"I didn't mean perfect perfect. Nothing is perfect!"
"I think we should do something about the pistol."
"What about it?"
"It's so weak! Not enough punch to kill a Covie."
"..."
"What are we gonna do?"
"Laugh at those poor, poor souls?"
"Lunch break?"
"Run away?"

Pistol + melee = my choice on legendary, its especially fun on co-op when you sneak around beating the -blam!- out of the elites and they dont even expect it.

M6C works as i would expect a pistol would in Campaign, but in Halo 2 multiplayer, it's ridiculously weak. Unless paired with an smg, it's useless. The M6D in Halo 1, is the exact opposite. Plus, how does it make sense that the #1 choice of weapon, for just about on range battle, would be a pistol?

I don't think the pistol is that bad.maybe thats mostly because it's my favorite weapon or because i can manuver them real well.just one pistol isn't that great,but dual wielding them makes for quick dispatching of elites,a one two punch
