Has anyone else noticed how fast anniversary pistol wrecks vehicles? I personally love it, it makes big team way more entertaining for me.

No point to it, when you think about it.

They probably did that because CEA has no marksman rifle equivalent - at least, it shouldn't. I haven't played it, but I assume it has all of the original weapons?

Actually there is a DMR in anniversary playlists, but its worthless compared to the super pistol.

Yep, vehicle gameplay is tougher in BTBA. Unless we are talking about Gauss.

I almost never get a map with a goose and have been playing campaign for the most part. I have been trying to get other stupid stuff like spin snipes and have been messing with Spartan launching. I have figured out how to launch myself across a couple of maps while on foot with a new trick... when I actually get a kill doing my new trick I will show it to you.

You're right. I haven't seen one.

Well that's just BS. You should complain.

And yes. Please do.

That's becuase the Pistol in CE was the greatest weapon in gaming history. Until, Halo 3's BR! Haha.

Someone said something about the Anniversary gametype if you pick up a DMR that was laid out on the map that it doesn't have bloom. Is this true? I don't see how they can make 1 weapon bloomless while the others have bloom....and why would the DMR be in a CE-specific playlist?

  • 11.17.2011 12:18 PM PDT

My stats

I'm retired

DMR's have 85% bloom, and they wreck the pistol in long range combat. That's the only reason I pick one up. The pistol beats it at every other range.

Boltshot = mini shotgun

I only use the CE pistol when the enemy is in kind of a close range(a lot of the time). Farther than that, I will use the DMR.

A skilled user can beat a DMR at mid range with the super pistol every time.

I got a 3sk diagonally across map on Hang-em High so I don't really see the point.

I was surprised I got it though.

Haven't really had any situations where a DMR was needed.

43 year old women are capable of many, many things.



But the DMR is nice on Beaver Creek to cross map.
