Subject: Easy Way To Fix the Pistol in Halo 3

Do you think you can handle my gigantic COC?
~!TheHalo3D!~
-If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?
-What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
-I intend to live forever; so far, so good.

I know everyone is arguing about how H3 should or shouldn't have the Pistol. Well I thought of a way to hopefully balance it all out (IF bungie even puts it in the next game)

The H2 Pistol was garbage and took like 2 clips to kill some
The Halo CE Pistol was cool and great and took 3 shots (if your good)
to make it balanced all you would really need to do is make the pistol a 6-10 shot kill weapon, rather than a 3 or 24 shot weapon. In my opinion, I think that would make people a lot happier than not seeing the pistol in gameplay at all.

It would also leave more of a variety of weapons to choose from and better weapon control for people that cant get a BR/AR whatever it might be in Halo 3...guess we just have to wait.

You know, I think the pistol was pretty decent and really powerful (when combo'd) before they made the pistol/BR patch. Afterwards it was pretty crap. Halo 2 obivously.

If Team Swat became ranked, would there still be no shields?


Amazing!

The Halo 2 Magnum was slightly overpowered at first on Halo 2.

Then they downgraded it a bit much.

So if that's adjusted, it will be fine.

exactly its not meant to be a main weapon but more of a last resort. just think if your a marine will you use your m16 or a pistol. the pistol is supposed to suck, otherwise it shouldn't be called a pistol, it should be called "mini sniper" or something of that nature.

Good work on averaging. Tomorrow can you teach us long division?

I agree, but it would be nice to see it brought up just a tad more. I think they will tweak it for Halo 3.

Or how about they just take away the ability to shoot people with the Halo CE pistol from across the level? A pistol should NOT be able to outgun a sniper rifle....

I agree the Halo 2 pistol was a bit too much of a backtrack from the Halo CE pistol, but honestly the BR became the new pistol (since you could generally hit from insane distances). So perhaps just lower the accuracy of both the pistol and the BR at long ranges...

lol, at least you had a sense of humor about it! Sorry, I've had a rough day and I've been venting on the forums. I'd like to see the Halo 1 pistol back in action, with a shorter range.

I actually think the magnum is an OK weapon if you can use it correctly, but a single magnum is definately garbage lol... It's good to have fast fingers if you're going to dual wield that thing with any weapon
