I see all these topics about nerfing the pistol…
…come on people. You kept saying you missed Halo 1’s pistol and yet here it essentially is, just improved.
If they nerf the pistol, we’ll be seeing topics about reversing it. You’d miss it. Admit it!
Magnum’s fine, doesn’t need to be touched 
Although I wish it had a slightly faster rate of fire… but that’s from my time in Reach and Halo 4 when the fire rate was much quicker 
The Halo 1 pistol took 3 shots and about half the amount of time to get a kill. You could run a train on a whole team with the CE pistol, see if you can do that in Halo 5.
The Halo 5 pistol is nothing like it in any way.
The high kill time coupled with thrust aka the get out of jail free card is what makes games stale to watch and play.
I for one, agree with you. After experiencing Destiny’s horrible handling of weapon balancing & what felt like near constant nerfs, I’d think folks would just know better. Nerfs only hurt the players, never the programmers/designers/developers.
BR/DMR Player: “Pistol is fine”
AR/SMG Player: “Pistol is OP”
There is balance.
Don’t worry this isn’t destiny, 343 won’t nerf or buff a single thing

THE BEST weapon out of those is define…wait. That doesn’t happen any more. Each of those is incredible in the appropriate scenario. The magnum is ok at everything…hence the true utility weapon start. Halo 5 weapons = perfect balance. Don’t mess with it.
I doubt any weapons will be touched. The general consensus is that they are pretty well balanced overall, with no majority thinking one is OP or UP.
Yes, there are groups advocating that pretty much each weapon is OP/UP, but that sort of lends credence to the weapons being balanced. They are all complained about equally, and generally by the minority.
Shoot me if I’m wrong.

My only complaint about weapons is that the BR feels like it has magnetic bullets…
I get sniped across the map with apparent “perfect kills” by a standard recon BR…

Agreed.

That is the most succinct and true statement I have seen on this issue. Bravo.
Halo 5 wep balance is probably one of its best features, along with the new movement system; it definitely doesn’t need to be changed.
I gardening tool 343 doesn’t change the pistol, its one of the main reasons I came back to the game!

I gardening tool you’re right.
I gardening tool you Trump is just doing this for publicity and will be even richer when all said and done.
Agreed
The pistol sucks, can’t compete against any weapon other than itself, and the autos allow you to simply run around the edges and catch guys on the flank and win most of the time. Anyone saying the balance is fine has no idea what they’re talking about.

Anyone disagreeing with me is wrong. The proof is that they are disagreeing.
lol
Why do you have no stats for Halo 5?

Weapon balancing isn’t subjective, the proof is in the actual balance of the game. this isn’t my main gamertag, I haven registered my primary one on here because I don’t like getting stat tracked.
Magnum is something they got perfect in Halo 5
