Subject: is the pistol underrated in h3

LEDGENDARY EDITION......For the loyal

I think it was under-designed as well in actull fact...i still belive it to be a good weapon however but without the zoom or what i mean to say is it doesnt hav the (east) eye appature sight target feel ...it should hav had a reticle at least...they got it right with Reach and even improved it more on odst, with an awesome silencer...so why would the odst get the good stuff....ill tell u... giv the chief a stick an he could get the job done

Opinions are like butholes. Everyone's got one, nobody wants to hear about it.

The Magum blows in this game. I'm happy it got buffed in Reach.

If pro is the opposite of con, then the opposite of progress is...

Yes, the pistol seems to be(and probably is) the worst weapon in the game: firing rate is low, no scope, and little power. That's why I always switch it with a BR.

I'm sorry America is busy helping others in the world and actually making a difference.

Something Canada will never do.

no, it's a horrible weapon.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

Yeah, it was a pretty impractical weapon. The worst weapon in the series, IMO.

i think the halo three pistol is the worst gun in every halo game.

I am from Mars, that is why I wear red and was issued the MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor/M variant helmet, was also issued the experimental version of the Camo unit, that is why i have the Recon shoulder. I excel at CQB, hence the CQC shoulder. I have trained extensively with operation of vehicles therefore the armor on my left side is more substantial and the GPS navigator. the ODST chest is because I was embedded with a unit from the 105TH for 7 SpecOP missions, I have a great respect for them

-blam!- off the pistol is better then the AR/

More redundant than the spiker IMO

MADNESS! THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The halo 3 pistol was a fail I'm sorry but there was no reason to even pick it up

  • 09.14.2011 9:49 PM PDT

It really depends on the gametype, but for the most part, the Pistol is terrible.

Its not that bad, 4 shot kill, but in the middle of combat it is too slow and ultimately sucks


it's a 5shot kill actually

No, on 125% damage it's a 4 shot kill.

3's pistol is terrible. 2 had the best pistol IMO, follwed by ODST then C.E

It's opposite day, didn't you hear?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I love the pistol in SWAT Magnums and Infection, and the overall look of the Spartans wielding them. However, they don't have too much use outside of this.

  • 09.16.2011 8:36 PM PDT

actually It was the spread and duel wielding damage penalty that made this gun take a back seat to the BR and Carmbine

  • 09.16.2011 8:55 PM PDT

the only time i would use the halo 3 magnum is swatmagnums. I would never consider picking it up. Totally felt like a halo version of a desert eagle.
