This is one of the largest arguments that's been on the Bungie forums since I can remember (back in the days of Halo 2's release). Would you want the Halo 1 pistol to make a return into the game? And why?

Needs to be powered down a little so you can't snipe someone in a couple shots.

i love the pistol from halo 1 but lets face it, no way in hell should i be able to gun down a sniper from across the map with a pistol. it doesn't make any sense. there was a point when we were so good with the pistol we would rip people out of moving vehicles from across the map on bloodgultch, or have huge pistol battles from accrose the map in hang em high. let it rest, just let it rest.

I loved the pistol, and it should replace the BR, cause the BR sucked, in my humble opinion.

I mean, I know you all love the texture of grapes, I mean, who doesn't? *ahem* But back on topic. Although I don't want them to, I think they might bring back the Halo 1 pistol. This is just a hunch, but since they're bringing back the AR (or a variation of it), perhaps they could be bringing back a whole bunch of the old school weapons back. Which could include the *overly exaggerated gasp* Halo 1 pistol.

the pistol was a cool weapon, but comeon, it was just retardedly overpowered.

Not many people know this, but I read an interveiw somewhere with one of the bungie guys, and the BR is just the original pistol tags from Halo 1, with a new model, 3 shot burst. Each burst does the same damage as 1 Halo 1 pistol shot. So you see the pistol never left. It just got a makeover.

But anyway, do NOT bring back the Halo 1 pistol. No military force in the world has a standard issue pistol with a scope that is 33% bigger than a Desert Eagle, and I would like it to stay that way in Halo 3.

Plus dual wielding H1 pistols would suck.

Perhaps put the H1 model and skin on the H3 pistol (HD refined of course). Then the pistol fanboys would be happy, and so would the people who don't want it overpowerd.

OR! perhaps it could make an appearence in campain alongside the regular pistol. I can just see. You with some marines, hiding in a safe house. Sgt Jhonson breaks open a crate to reveal a fe "Old School" weapons, and possibly a flamethrower. You and the marines are yourself the the teeth with the kickass old stuff and pwn flood and covies.

Not true... and it doesn't make any sense. And the fact that you read it "somewhere" isn't really proof.

Halo 1 pistol = 3 shot kill

Halo 2 BR = 4 shot kill

Not to mention the games are on different engines... so the whole thing had to be remade.

The Pistol from Halo 1 was strong, but it was not too strong because everybody started out with it, and although it may have been a little bit unrealistic for a Pistol, changing something as simple as it's skin to the skin of a Rifle will not make the gameplay better. It should come back in Halo 3, but it should not be able to be duel-wielded.

also, the BR shots are not always straight. if you are in motion the 2nd and 3rd shots will stray from the origional bullet path. so your not always gonna get a 4 shot kill.

There's something called "Auto-Aim"

The pistol dosent have it, the BR yes..


Hmm...I would love the pistol to come back..But no auto-aim, little crosshair and shots to kill...

LEave the Battle Rifle but with no auto-aim..Nothing not a lil bit..And make the crosshair little..

There I solved the problem.

I think its strong because it took so little ammo to kill someone


I think for halo 3 they should have a setting where you can have new and old weapons together or apart. like one mode you can use all and another just halo 3 and 2 or 2 and 1, ect. because i love every halo weapon

Yes if it has the strength of the current magnum. Otherwise, no cuz it was waaay overpowered in H1.

Put a grape that's cut in half in the microwave.

Great fun!

Oh, and the H1 pistol should NOT come back. Too unrealistic (even for Halo) and there's already a BR that's just like it.

The Battle Rifle is not just like the Pistol. The Battle Rifle has lots of aim assistance and bullet magnetism, while the Pistol only has a small amount of aim assistance.
