1.) No scope attachment
2.) Duel wield capable
3.) Simular power as Halo 1 pistol (maybe a three headshot kill)
4.) Low accuracy (even worse accuracy while dueling)
5.) Slow rate of fire (as slow as Battle Rifle)
6.) 8 shot clip
7.) Uncommon find in multi-player

no it shouldnt be brought back , just make the br the exact same as the pistol in halo 1( you know for the people who complain about realism) and make everyone start out with this br in multiplayer , they also need to balance out the otheweaons too

Screw that, H1 pistol was way to cheap. You just needed Sniper and Pistol (and skill)then no one had a chance.

You're aware that this would mean a potential two-shot kill, right? If an enemy happens, to, say... fall a distance, if fall damage would return... you just squeeze both triggers, and by the time the second shot goes off, he's dead. That wouldn't work very well...

No it shouldnt have the power it had in Halo CE that was just an over powering weapon. Pistols shouldnt be over powering weapons.

You guys are all aware that everything will change again once Halo 3 is released, right? It's inevitable that weapons are tweaked inbetween games, especially when the game engine itself is changed between every game. NO weapon was left the same in Halo 2. No weapon in Halo 3 will be identical to what we got in Halo 2, or Halo 1. Let's just hope all the changes will be slightly less underwhelming than what Halo 2 brought us (plasma pistol, shotgun, needlers, wtf?)

I am...whimsical today.

Ok lets bring back the Halo:CE pistol. But lets change it a little.
1) Take off the Scope
2) Decrease the power
3) Make it duelwieldable
4) Make it a tad less common

There we go...BUT WAIT! ;)

okay, so basically what you are saying, is not to bring back the Halo 1 pistol, but make the current pistol less accurate and slower and stronger... that would be a different gun not a throwback

Thin kabout this. Skill or not. Why should a secondary weapon be stronger than a primary weapon?

pwned.

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


Amazing!

You want dual wielding for it AND three-headshot kills? Jesus.

If you make any changes, it won't be the pistol from Halo 1, the M6D. The exact characteristics of the M6D you wan't to take out, so either leave things exactly the same, or a new gun. You can't just say "Oh, this gun is completely different now, but it's the same gun." It just doesn't make sense. Bungie knew it was a little over-powered in Halo 1, so instead of tweeking it, they added the, da dada DA! The M6C. Just leave it as the M6C Magnum, or an M6B.

The BR is a potential 4 shot kill with a scope and its a pretty accurate weapon. The pistol I want has no scope and lemme put it in better words. It will be inaccurate at medium range, pretty much useless at far range, pretty effective close up, and very effective at point blank. It can be a mix of the BR and a shotgun with the style of a power pistol. And a slower rate of fire. Yes the duel wielding will be powerful when used at close range, but it'll still be pretty inaccurate nonetheless, and as I said, the gun will be rare. Hell, maybe only on large maps will there be more than one of these laying around, and based on what I just said, this thing prolbablt won't be very useful on large maps. I think this may work as a nice addition to halo 3, but I can understand some of you disagreeing and why you do disagree.

Everyone keeps talking about balance and realism. I favor realism over balance. Tell me, would the Chief live if I shot him in the face with a .50 Calibre revolver? No.

It wouldn't be the Halo 1 pistol if it had those changes.

They should have the Magnum that fires the Spartan-thumb sized slugs. Inaccurate due to the sheer size of its projectiles(rapid fire greater decreases accuracy) even at moderate range, but curiously effective and stylish at close-moderate range. 10 round magazine, no scope. It can't fire as fast as you can pull the trigger, but recoil compensation time is reasonable. 3-4 rounds to kill, 1-2 to kill unshielded.

I'm sorry, what are secondary and primary weapons? Because, in Halo, I've never seen anything labeled as a secondary weapon, or anything labeled as a primary weapon for that matter.

Oh yeah, they aren't labeled as secondary and primary weapons. You're just a moron.
