I’ve heard so much commotion over the pistol by players and how they hate it. The pistol is a little overpowered (I’ve played at my friend’s house recently), but isin’t that what most people wanted – the CE pistol?
They (343) say they are trying to bring Halo back to its roots, and this is an example.
A lot of people don’t seem to like the Magnum because it can actually stand up on it’s own, namely against weapons such as the Assault Rifle and Battle Rifle ,if you’re skilled enough and use it correctly. It makes me laugh because the Magnum is actually a decent weapon now, along with the Assault Rifle.
Halo 5 has proper weapon balancing now, just like the first Combat Evolved and Reach… but you know, people will always complain.
i like the magnum , i dont have to focus 100% on finding a gun on spwan , its my top weapon atm , but if am close to somting bether i will grab that ofc .
No pistol has ever been this OP in an halo game before… So no I’m sorry but you’re wrong

Considering the time to kill and actual weapon damage, it’s on par with most non-power weapons.
You can kill someone just as fast with the AR, BR, and DMR. But it’s outclassed by the precision rifles because of its small mag cap and slow rate of fire. Each shot does similar damage to a DMR, but if you miss a shot, you’ll probably lose the fight.
Basically, it’s a high skill cap weapon. A skilled player who misses no shots doesn’t need a BR or DMR, whereas someone who typically misses often will find themselves constantly losing in a pistol fight against any other weapon.
In Halo CE the pistol was a 3 shot kill…
Personally I think the pistol is fine in this game but if they did tweak it I would be happy for a 6SK if they increased the rate of fire so the TTK was exactly the same, that would make it still useful but more difficult to use at longer ranges

Lol yes it has. Excluding the obvious; Halo CE, in Reach it could beat the DMR in close quarters and beat the AR at range.

The DMR was a mid-long range weapon though, it wasn’t meant for CQB battles.
