Have you ever been in a situation with the magnum, where you're killing somebody only to discover that "gee, this clip is really small" and end up dying?

Why did they reduce the number of shots in the magnum to 8 when it's not even as powerful as it was in past Halos? It needs to be 12!

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

Definitely should be 12.

It's a secondary weapon according to the developer. For close quarters desperation.

As it always has been in every Halo.

The clip is so small that it seems like it's only effective in Anniversary playlists or with bleed-through, which sadly is being removed.

Halo 1 begs to differ. Might as well have been called "Everything You Need And Then Some".

LOL, 1 shot to kill a hunter!

It was a primary weapon in that game though.

For some reason.

A rifle has always made more sense.

One shot killed half the enemies in the game. Everything else took three to five. Did I mention it fired really damn fast, too?

The magnum is a side arm. It is not a DMR.

  • 03.03.2012 9:03 PM PDT

wait, they nerfed it?

Weapon of Oppression

It's a magazine not a clip.

It should be a 4sk with a 12 size magazine, so it has the potential of 3 kills not one only. Of course the dmr might be rendered useless then.

DMR beats it range wise and has a larger magazine, even if it was 4 shot kill.
