I really hope they don't bring back the pistol. Dumbest crap ever.

Those without swords can still die upon them.

The pistol was so stupid. The BR served that purpose much better and more logically. A handgun with a zoom that's arguably the most potent weapon in the game? No, I never liked that.

if not the pistol, than an equivalent weapon...

BR + TSK (or FSK, doesnt really mater) + WAYYYYY Less Autoaim/Magnetism + Range

Well, if you say the AR is crap, I suppose you can basically say the SMG in h2 was total crapy too. Hm? I do agree about the pistol, I am a halo ce fan, but I really don't think a pistol fits into the primary weapons area, they really should stick with a rifle, it brings out a more "manly" MC, if he had his ity bity pistol it would look..uhm.. weird.

Hmmmm. No not the pistol. I love Halo:CE wayyy more than Halo 2 but I mean a handgun that can shoot you as far as a sniper. Get real. They just need to make the BR TSK and less auto aim.

I'll be honest and say i didn't like the pistol. Really a pistol should not kill in 3 shots when you are in full armour and have a shield. The AR was one of my favourite guns though.

  • 05.09.2006 1:37 PM PDT

Hail to the Victors! Reppin' that MAIZE n BLUE!!!
Perfect Grenade
Chill bro. Gotta get my bowl.

Even though the pistol was kickass, I think the BR would look way better graphically.

Just up the power of that bad boy.

looks more halo 1ish to me. Which means that this will be even better than halo1 and put halo2 down at 3 and halo1 at 2 and halo3 at 1. Confusing.

The Pistol would be amazing in Halo 2 type game play.

Pistol was better than the BR cause your could 3 shot easier. If you 3 shot someone with a br your a lucky man so i like the pistol. If you gave me a H1 pistol and you had a H2 BR I would perosnaly woop you.

i hope they make it zoom

If you're swimming in a creek, and an eel bites your feet - that's a moray.

I feel it necessary to point out that the H1 pistol and H2 BR are equally capable of a 3-shot - in a LAN environment or if you have host. The inherent element of lag induced by XBL would reduce the overall effectiveness of the M6D to where it would be the BR's equal (read: it already is).

Anyway, the M6D was neat, and the BR is neat, but only one of them is needed (I'd personally rather see an option of semi-auto and burst on the BR rather than burst only).

Rather than the AR or SMG, give us a SAW or something with more punch for a fully-auto weapon.

The only adjustments needed:
BR stays
AR finally comes back
Rockets lose homing (on all but maybe the banshee?)
grenades are now grenades, not 20 pound pieces of steel that the chief can't even throw
Elites are stronger than spartans as it should have been all along(one hit kills, longer shield etc.)

i hope they dont have pistol. maybe they should modify the BR to become a lil tuffer but not to same power of pistol.


Its cheap admit it. I was in denial but then i finally admit it, the pistol is cheap. I especially noticed this cuz when i spawned I would NEVER even look for a rocket or snipe, etc... i had my all purpose pistol.


pistol duels were awesome tho

First off the Elites are not Stronger they are the same strength. Also the shielding on the spartans Mjolnir Mark VI Armor is stronger than the Elites. If you read the books you learn alot about the Spartans.

The AR is one of my Favorite weapons. There is nothing like unloading a full clip into an Elites face. I would also take the BR over the Handgun any day of the week it fills much better then killing everything with a damn handgun.

Why is everyone so against the AR?
I find it great fun pumping a full clip into an opponent who is try to do the same.
The pistol should burn and die. Fullstop.
The BR should stay, much more realistic than a pistol for mid-range-long-ranging, and I feel a little more toned down.

Actually, higher ranking Elites, above the Blue-armored rank and file along with their Red-armored veteran superiors, have stronger shields than Spartans, along with higher reserves of health and yes, even strength.

As for making Elites stronger in multiplayer...as it is in H2, the Elite is at a distinct disadvantage, being a larger, wider target than a Spartan. I always seem to die quicker as an Elite...so I'd suggest increasing either their shield strength or health just a tiny bit to compensate.

Anywho...I missed the AR and having it back will definitely bring with it some great memories of sitting up at midnight, blasting through the Halo: CE demo with my cuz. It'd serve as a middle ground between the SMG and the BR. Please though, don't bring back the pistol. There's nothing quite so aggravating as being raped by a 5 inch silver pistol from a hundred or so meters away. While they're at it, they should either tone down, or yank the Plasma Pistol. The noobing is just...ugh.
