Are you Ok with No Pistol in Infection?

For me, I liked the pistol in Infection but I kinda understand why they are replacing it with the Assault Rifle. At least they are putting weapons around the map. I think people will get used to this and they’ll make some changes depending on the feedback. What are your thoughts of this?

Damage modification can allow for the pistol to return. I’d like infection to at least have a Reach like variant.

Infection has been my favorite game mode for a while now. I lover the pistol but after hearing 343’s reasoning I agree and am happy to accept the new change and see how it plays and leave constructive feedback. But honestly infection is best for custom games so I’m estatic that 343 were determined to allow as much customization of the game type as possible.

I’m fine with it. It allows players to actually traverse the map instead of camping one spot with 6 or more other players. Also, weapons such as the magnum and the Halo CE pistol are map pick ups anyway so it should be fine.

I don’t really care. You can customize it all you want for custom games.

Because matchmaking isn’t so much more convenient than custom games.

I feel that they should have replaced the pistol with something better than the assault rifle, but since there are pistols around the map it isn’t a big deal. I only hope there is enough pistols in order to have a chance at getting it since everyone is going to go run towards the pistol and ignore any other weapon they might find.

Maybe make the pistol 2 shot headshot?

I’ll have to try it before I have an opinion. I’m more concerned about the power weapons, but again I’ll refrain from judgment until I’ve at least played a few rounds.

This^ bring back a weaker pistol and maybe I’d care to have it back but the one we currently have would make the game painfully irratating to the infected. It would only bring more rage threads about tryhards

They tried to do that in Halo 4 with the flood taking multiple shots to the head and it did not work.

I’m hyped to play as an Alpha, they seem pretty fearsome. As for the pistol, I’m fine with it. Humans spawn with shotguns anyways.

I don’t care

Yeah, it makes sense.

Have to wait and see. :l

I’m fine with it not being in Infection.

I’m just worried if these maps will work…these are just slightly altered versions of Arena maps being played with Infection…does anyone else think it kinda feels cheap? (especially with this amazing Forge we could take advantage of)

i don’t mind that there won’t be a magnum in infection. I am not big into infection but i am willing to give it a try when i launches.

I’m fine with no pistol in Infection.

yes due to how powerful the pistol is in this game that’s what the people complaining about no pistol in infection need to realize that in order to make it fair and balanced they kinda had to replace the pistol with the assault rifle for this version of infection
