Let’s get to the point:
I loved H3:ODST’s pistol (the Automag) and it would be cool to see it in a Halo game other than ODST. Maybe give it a buff to make it to par with the Magnum, or have the Automag become the Magnum.
(Probably gonna get a LOT of hate for that last one, the community is a bit on edge right now)
Either way, the Automag is basically a SpecOps Halo 2 pistol, the M6/C. Imagine it graphically up-to-date with a few new bits and tweaks, and keeping the smart-link scope and suppressor, and putting it in the hands of a SPARTAN-IV, or in the hands of John-117.
Most of us who read the novels (First Strike, to be exact), it is described as the base pistol for the Automag having “slugs as big as Fred’s thumb”, and is described as being powerful.
Either way, I think it would be pretty cool. What do you guys think?
Big as a Spartan’s thumb? What cal is that!? It sounds way more powerful than it was in ODST.
Anyway, I don’t really mind. I just want a pistol that doesn’t suck like the H2 and H3 ones did.
Here’s some info

I would absolutely love to see a buffed automag included, suppressed or not.
It was probably my favorite Halo pistol despite its low damage. I either want an automag or buffed versions of the Halo 2/3 pistols. The Reach/H4 magnums felt like they had no real role of their own. Either go crazy with the scope ala 4x automag or ditch it entirely ala H2/H3.
