My Idea is quite simple. If you were to bring back the M6D pistol, the only way to keep the game balanced, would be to only have ONE yes only ONE M6D pistol per multiplayer map. Well I guess there could be two, it just depends on the size of the map. All I have to say is it worked with the sword, it works with the rocket launcher( in the smaller maps)

I strongly believe, if bungie puts the M6D back in Halo 3 this is how it will be.

having only one makes it unbalanced stupid.


if there is a map of only smg's and then one sniper.. obviously the sniper is unbalancing the map. jesus, learn how to make logical thoughts before you post.

No I freaking told you to cut the hose off, if i told to pull it off then i would have said pull it off. Now you broke the AC you dumb ass.
Me to my mother.

pretty hard to adapt to an over powered pistol with a 2X scope on it,out range it with sniper rifles.

But i got a story to back up why the noob cannon cannot come back into halo 3.

the planet that supplys the explosive substance found in the bullet is glassed by covies,all ammunition is wasted against the covinent,and the pistol is thrown out or downgraded to the blam tastic pistol that i love

the pistol is suppose to be a sidearm, not a power weapon.

Trust me I know how to defend myself but having everyone runing around with a pistal that can shoot straight across Blood Gultch is stupid there would be no point in a B.R. Its pretty damn obvious that the A.R in Halo1 didn't work to its fullest potential because the M6D already did the job. Plus I never used any other weapon in halo 1 couse I knew the M6D did the job perfectly rather it was across Blood Gultch or in a face to face war in Prisoner .

After reading some of the ideas you guys have for halo 3, I'm not suprised halo 2's campaign sucked and they couldn't get Xbox Live right.(Meaning they needed an Update shortly after the release to make weapons weaker or stronger) The only update I want for Halo 3 should be New Maps and anything and everything to stop cheating!

COME TO THINK OF IT WHY ARE WE ALL DISCUSSING WEAPONS AND MAPS AND STUFF WHEN WE SHOULD MAKING SURE CHEATING IS TAKEN CARE OF.

Outranging the pistol the pistol with a sniper would be hard, I myself have pwn't a sniper half a map away with 3-7 shots, besides, if the sniper is on the other side of the map, the pistol user will use existing cover and close in eg. the pistol user is bieng attacked by a sniper a full map away on blood gulch/coagulation (or whatever it will be called in halo 3), the pistol user will simply duck into the caves, sneak up to sniper until he is in firing range, and then: Bam! Bam! Bam! Sniper dead=no counter ability. Or, someone can get in close, use a plasma pistol, then unleash hell with the AR, but one may need a partner for this to survive long enough.

And there is the constant possibility of the sniper's shot not registering, or just plain missing (like I always do, :( )

Snipers are people who are afraid of combat, people who can't fight head to head. It takes alot of quick thought stratagy when fighting in close range, verses standing across the level sniping two people engaged in combat. Don't get me wrong, sniping is a smart stratagy but a -blam!- strategy. ( Please keep in mind, This Opinion goes for Rumble Pit type games not Team Games. The sniper is essential when it comes to team games.)

I Respect a person helluva alot more when they can get a Killtacular in close combat with the battle riffle rather than getting killtacular with a sniper riffle.

Says who. Your sense of reality doesn't fit in a fantasy game. Besides, in the future it may be different. Someone might get smart and say, "hey, we can make a pistol thats 1/3 the weight of a rifle, and it performs better". Which, using that, would be more realistic.

And to any idiot who says to you can shoot across Blood Gulch with the M6D, you're a liar. You can barely see someone across Blood Gulch with the SNIPER RIFLE fully Zoomed!

Hopefully we just have new weapons. If they do bring back the M6D, which I hope, it'll be great. Whatever they do, jus tmake it better than Halo2

"adapt or die"


not just a pistol poostain it is the # 1 weapon of all time 2005 which makes no sense/
it is the shizt of all weapons almost as good or better than the sniper rifle and has no limit to it's range or accuracy
if it's adapt or die you either have a M6D or get pistol shoosted
and i take this round
poostain:0
KEWL:35

if you love you're little pistol join my group

Think logically before you respond. First off, if Halo 3 has a wide variety of weapons, which I'm sure it will- You can just get a Sniper Rifle or other weapon to out-range it, or even some other close-ranged weapon if things get up close and personal.

What is this, golden gun?

The pistol was not that overpowering, at least less than the sword. All it required was teamwork, as even 2 ARs could take one down. The pistol user can't have the pistol, shotgun, sniper, and all the grenades, and if the other team has got you spawncamped with all good weapons and powerups, that just means your team has virtually no coordination.

If it's one on one, grenades can solve just about anything, which was one of the big parts of halo 1.

I strongly believe, that when I and others mod in the M6D, if it is not in halo 3, that your suggestion is not what it will be.

If the put the pistol back it will be the same facot as it was in Halo 1, It will be a secondary starting weapon and your First will be the new AR.
