I really want to see the pistol return in Halo 3. It was so awesome to start with it at "Hang um High" in Halo 1. It could be shoot very far because it could zoom in. I think if it came back u should be able to kill a guy if u hit him in the head twice. One to take shield....the other to take the life.

It made the game TOO easy by being able to kill in 3 shots, now you want it in 2 shots? Go away man

I'd like it back just like it was in Halo 1, even if only as an option in MP. They should include all options to make the game play like Halo 1 for MP.

The pistol in Halo 2 is perfectly fine. You want it the Halo 1 pistol because it's more powerful, but then you'll complain that it's to strong, because you keep dieing, and you'll say that they should bring the pistol in Halo 2 back.

What?! The pistol in Halo2 is perfectly useless more like. 13 shots to kill someone with a gun that has a 12 bullet magazine...... Thats no good.

The pistol was fun in Halo:CE but I would not like to see it return as powerful as it was then. A pistol outgunning a rifle consistently does not make much sense at all. Hell, 7.62 x 55 (I think thats what it is) is used as a sniper round on occasion by the US military (comin' from an m14) and thats what the MA5B used. The MA5B should have been able to put someone down with less bullets than the M6D. Especially since the MA5B is using Armor Piercing rounds and the .50 cal coming out of the M6D is High Explosive.

Anyways, if you want an uber quick kill, use a sniper rifle. I personally woud like to see the MA5B become the weapon of choice like the BR55 is in Halo 2.

The Halo 1 pistol is for the people that can't get a kill themselves and have to use a scoped(WTF)pistol to even get one kill, by using an overpowered unbalanced piece of trash. The Halo 2 pistol looks better, and has great balance. Because I roll like John Woo with Dual M6Cs, this -blam!- got balance, so you better learn to cope.

Call me crazy, but I bought halo 1 a while back and when I played it, it had options for single. burst, and automatic, did I get some crazy version or something? I occasionally hear people saying that was never an option. Please enlighten me.

If you want the pistol back so much why don't you just get some friends to come over and play Halo 1( which still pwns) with you.

wow people like you are ruining halo correct me if im wrong but i think the "magnum" is the weakest and the most poinless gun in halo 2......clearly you never played halo 1 and seen how much more compettivive it was...let me refrase that u havent seen how much more skill halo 1 took.....i remember back in the day when i was playing xbc and where playing some people from mlg the teams where 2v4 they R@p3d us on side winder...also that was when i first stared playing halo on gamespy and xbc but in halo 2 when your playing ctf whoever has most players usually wins especially if its 2 v 4.

Only an idiot would use a pistol (in any scenario) to engage a heavily armored opponent. That is of course not the case in Halo: CE which still rocks but not very accurate in that aspect.

O ya when i ment bring back the pistol from halo and put it in halo 3 im expecting no auto aim like there was in halo2 cause the auto aim also takes out that skill factor.and im pretty sure there was no auto aim in halo 1 thats y it was so good.

The auto aim was what made halo 2 easier, but it irks me when someone says halo 2 takes no skill cause if that was the case, everyone would pwn. Some people are better so obviously it takes skill.

Um, then what's the point of having any other weapon?
