This would be cool if bungie brought back the halo1 pistol and got rid of the s***** magnum.

There's an existing thread for discussion weapons ideas and for the pros and cons of returning the Halo 1 pistol... you'll find a link in the "Threads of Interest" sticky post.

The old pistol was equal to a rifle. Long range and great accuracy. It was very unbalanced. The Assault rifle was balanced, as it actually had a range at which it would become inefective. The pistol is gone. I think the magnums should be stronger than they are now, but not as strong as the hand canon.

Uh, have you ever heard of duel wielding?

I can get killtaculars galore with an SMG and Magnum.

As for the original Pistol, no...

It was completely unbalanced and out of place. No soldier should ever use a sidearm as a main weapon, they only draw a pistol when their rifle is jammed or out of ammo.

i loved the halo pistol, but let's face it, you should not be able to take out a sniper from across the field, there is no way you should be able to do that with a pistol. the magnum was fine until the 1.2 update in my opinion. i think they should modify the new rifle to make it like the AR but with a scope, and when you zoom in it fires single shots similar to that of the halo pistol. that way the power would make sense because it's coming from a rifle. but the range should still be less than the pistol.

Absolutely no. Whoever started this topic must be one of those people who think the pistol would own in Halo 3, but dont care if it is unbalanced in power. I mean, its a pistol!

  • 06.01.2006 1:27 PM PDT

-Its a MG42!
-My favorite color is bubble shield

take back the power but take away the scope and dual wielding

Ok, think about this.

The pistol was overpowered, defeated the point of many weapons. And take out a tank in three shots, wha? You may say everyone starts with one, but then there is no strategy. Halo 2 actualy has strategy, you have to think about how your going to take down a tank, sniper, etc. Not just run out with a pistol.

It's three shots because the tank had an open cockpit. It's 28 shots if you didn't aim at the driver.

"The pistol was overpowered, defeated the point of many weapons"

Just like BR starts right? Who picks up any other gun or bothers to duel wield?

If the pistol returned it definitely should not be duel wieldable and the range should match the BR. I think the pistol should be comparable to the the BR like the sniper rifle is to the beam rifle.

Do you feel what I feel, see what I see, hear what I hear?
There is a line you must draw between your dream world and reality

If i never again have to read the words "OMG, ZOMG, OMGZ" or any variation of those i think i would be much happier

How many threads have been made asking this exact same question?

  • 06.01.2006 1:51 PM PDT

I think the magnum should be slightly stronger, but other than that I don't have a problemwith it. I do have a problem with one weapon being the answer to all problems in the game so, no to the Halo 1 pistol.

They should bring the pistol back but only if they reduce it's range and take off the scope.

  • 06.01.2006 1:57 PM PDT

NO, this wouldn't be awesome. Because then all the halo 1 pistol whores would take over the place, And the pistol would pretty much make every other weapon useless, unless they changed the power of it, or got rid of the scope on it to make it more balanced.

But until then no way chump.

Look sig

Also, it would be awesome.... if everyone could sit down, take a little time to look through all the threads made, and stop posting the same stuff over and over and over and over and over again. Maybe you also could use something called commons sense, there are millions of people sitting here watching, writing and replying. Don't you think several of those are Halo 1 pistol fans?

I am sick of everyone wanting the pistol back. It is a new game, and there is going to be new weapons, thats it. Stop whining.
