I dont want to have to stay away from the forums because of constant ramblings.


Nor do I. But sometimes you have to compare to explain your ideas, because not everyone might understand or might be complete asses and flame posts because of things that people are trying to explain.

"we have a better idea of multiplayer balancing than you do, dude. the M6C was not hard to use, and even if it were, you're not supposed to reward skilled players by making them unstoppable. the whole point of a weapon being unbalanced is that skilled players are NOT much better than unskilled players, and that wasn't the case with the M6C. i don't know if you played with your parents or people with webbed fingers or something, but the crappy people i played with were just fine with halo 1's pistol. "


First off everyone starts with M6C


i don't know if you played with your parents or people with webbed fingers or something, but the crappy people i played with were just fine with halo 1's pistol.


Thast because you were terrible with the pistol then.....not everyone was good with it little nicky, but hey I only played with some of the best players in the world what do I know..



the whole point of a weapon being unbalanced is that skilled players are NOT much better than unskilled players, and that wasn't the case with the M6C.



No.... thats not what unbalanced means...Take for instance the sniper in H2 since this SUPER WEAPON THAT COTROLS THE FATE OF EVERYONE has a 5 and 10x zoom nothing can reach it.....so the sniper camps. Oh lets say at small base in Ascention while his team just covers him close range thats unbalanced cause the BR sucks too much to reach out and zoom out the sniper and who the hell is not good with 5 or 10x zoom couse if your not kill yourself.....


Your point = noob game.....



Nick 29A "skilled players are not much better than unskilled players".........I'll leave it at that

Thing is, thats what snipers do. They camp, they sit and wait to kill their target. Or provide long range covering fire for their allies. If you were in a real life situation where you had a sniper on your side, you'd want to protect him and him to protect you. And having a 10x zoom is being conservative, with the technology that should be in Halo's time frame you could easily have a much more powerful zoom.

Also if your entire team can't storm a base that has a sniper, then it's not the sniper's team who sucks, it's yours.

the pistol mad Halo so don't ever disgrace it's honor you mad monkey but the dual weilding can stay if they fix the flaws and if I have to point them out go get a gun and blow your jewls off


im TIRED of retards saying this. Halo : CE would have been just as good without the pistol. the M6D did NOT "Make" the game

What the hell bentley, if you think its a noob game and so incredibly unbalanced when compared to halo 1, it sounds like you've spent a hell of alot of time playing it and even took the time out to play with 'some of the best in the world'.
another reason why dual weilding should be left in is because it actually gives the magnum a use.

The fact is it did make the game, it made the game fun. Without it people would not have played the game as much.
And its not about realism, its about fun, its a game for godsake, you want fun, not hyper realistic blah. if you want realism, get a life

I play games to experience things I can't or don't want to experience in real life. Being shot at is one of them, and I bet you wouldn't like it either. So if I'm gonna be shot at virtually, I want it to be as real as possible, and since in the game I'm wearing armor that is made of the same alloy as space craft and has energy shields. I don't see how a pistol could do much damage to me. Also you too have made your Bungie.net ID today. So why should anyone listen to you? Or did you just make it so you could flame without harming your false reputation of your real account?

Wakka Wakka Wump!
No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

wait how bout this,

in multiplayer the weapons may be selected from all of the halo games,so that u can use the futuristic deagle. but just to burst ya bubble that gun in the picture may have been a MA5B from a rebel base in africa,hence there being a hidden power pistol in the rubble of one of the bases

True, I wouldn't mind having all the weapons from both Halo's in H3. It would make since after all, and everyone would finally be happy.

DUAL-WIELDING IS A MUST HAVE... and it will return.

The Pistol/Magnum is just about perfect as it is now. It makes sense, and is fun to use - thank god it isn't the BR anymore. I would suggest that there be more ammo for it. It's not much worth picking up unless you've got it dual wielded, in which case it loses it's ability to be paired with something else.

With the return of the AR (or something like it), the chance for SMG's to fit into the pool of weapons is severely hampered. It will take a good bit of twisting on Bungie's part to get them to play together, and I hope they succeed.

I desparately want to see a twist to Dual'ing with Needlers or the PP. Please Bungie, make the PP/Needler like, not suck. Give them some kinda of catch that makes them a powerful use somehow.


Would really like to see some new dual-weildable weapons. Give the Buggers something else that we can mess around with.
