h4 pistol.

i like halo…halo 1,awesome,BUT the pistol hmmmm NOT a power weapon, sidearm? YES. i think it was ttoo powerful in halo 1, now i dont like the pistol in halo 2 or halo 3,but i like the feel of it in halo reach,not too powerful and not a useless piece of crap. and the zoom is a HUGE plus i hope halo reach pistol is back in halo 4.

Not too Heavy, not too Light: Bud Light.
Welcome to the forums :D!

I’m pretty sure it is like, if not similar to, the Reach pistol. So, you get your wish for a useful sidearm, yay!

A sidearm role shouldn’t exist in Halo, every weapon should be viable on its own.

I think it will be like the Reach Pistol. 343 have expressed their love for Halo CE and Reach Pistol. And I think it won’t be like the CE pistol because they were working hard to make sure all the weapons were balanced and they know the CE pistol was overpowered. So in turn they will make it like they Reach pistol.

But it exists since Halo2. Get over it.

How is the existence of sidearms in Halo 2 relevant? Halo 2 easily had one of the worst sandboxes in the series, I see no reason why Halo 4 should base weapon balance off of it. Halo 4 is a new game, it should aim to create a diverse sandbox with weapons that people actually want to use.

You got it. Its a new game, why copy a OP pistol from an older outdated game?
Hopefully some day most CE Tryhards can accept that they will never get a OP pistol again.

I’ve never even mentioned the CE pistol, I just want the pistol to be a viable weapon. From what we know the pistol is just gonna end up being a sidearm due to the fact that it’s a 6sk with bloom. It just seems like it’s gonna be useless and outclassed at every range.
