Way to make the game more imbalanced than it already is....

They were thinking of the TRUE Halo fans that want it back. That's who. Not the Reach-tards that worship the almighty statue of Armor Lock and pray to the gods of grenade spam and the goddesses of double melees.

U mad? U bad? U jelly?

I've been playing Halo custom edition since '09 but the CE pistol in reach is just OP.

And I played Halo CE for the first time probably at age 9 or so, and I'm a month away from 19 now. I I've grown up on the CE magnum. The whole point is that it IS overpowered. That way those with skill live and those without it die. That's the way it's supposed to be.

Fix the DMR with ZB and you have that. No need for the death star. Let the CE pistol stay in CE, where it is actually the main utility weapon.

I see where both sides are coming from. I too have played CE for a long time, and as everyone else says, the magnum is way OP, but that was part of what made CE great. The mechanics of CE, such as bullet lead and all that jazz, forced you to be good with the magnum. You either were good at it, or you died. Bringing it back into Reach though, is frankly a bad idea. Reach was not built with the same ideas and such, so re-introducing the OP pistol just ruins what little balance the game has. It was fine in CE, where the gameplay flows supported it, but in Reach, it's just a disaster that will probably turn more people away than bring them back.

Yeah, it worked in CE but in CE only. It's going to flop in Reach. Power weapons will become obsolete. In the time it takes to shoot a rocket at someone and kill them, you will be dead from a 3sk. Kinda stupid if you ask me.

Whats with people failing to realize its a beta. They threw it out there to test.

The CE magnum will not be in Reach aside from, say it with me people: Anniversary Team Slayer!

Even though Reach doesn't support the CE Magnum that well, its better than ZB with DMR Magnum starts.

Hang em high is being remade? That's cool. It really looks nice but the sniper edge tactic doesn't work like it did.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

Which is exactly why it shouldn't be in Reach MM. Sniper and pistol will be the only weapons used. Bungie realized this after CE and therefore introduced the BR and toned the pistol down for H2 and H3. Not sure what they were thinking with the DMR though...

Most people who understand gameplay don't like the new CE pistol in Reach. Only the bandwagons like it.

I barely played CE multiplayer, and when I did, it was against my IRL friends who were garbage...maybe that's why I didn't notice that power weapons hardly made a difference even then. ;/

The whole point of bringing in the CE pistol is for the nostalgia concerning CEA. The whole point of it being in Reach is because it is op, so deal with it. No matter how much you complain, it won't be going anywhere.

Well this isn't CE. This is Reach. It has plasma launchers, DMR's, super needlers and other stuff CE didn't have. Including the same engine.
