how do you think the pistol should be for halo 4?
i think that it should be an 8 shot weapon that shoots slightly faster than the main rifle style weapon. also i would want it duel wieldable so when you have two of them they could be super deadly
either this or the halo 3 pistol damage with reach rate of fire and zoom
Just dont make it Halo 1…
Its Halo 4! If you want the 3 shot pistol play that.
I say a combination of the 2 pistol and the CE pistol.
I like the Pistol how it is in Reach, though it would be too powerful without bloom. Maybe keep it the way it is there, but slow down the rate of fire to make it balanced?
i just dont want a crappy halo 3 pistol or halo reach pistol (to much bloom, is just a faster halo 3 pistol with scope)
but yea i just want it to be a fun pistol that feels good
God forbid 343i decides to have the Halo 3 magnum return.
I want the Halo CE and Halo 2 pistol to return. You can dual wield the H2 one but not the H1.
I think the pistol should behave mostly like it did in Halo 2/ODST. It should have a very high rate of fire, and a decent clip size, but feel ineffective against shielded opponents, usually best as a backup in case you have to reload your other weapon. And very effective in combination with a shield-draining weapon (dual Wield or otherwise).
One other thing. I think switching to sidearm weapons like the Magnum, or Plasma Pistol, should be much faster than switching to a Rifle/Shotgun, which should then be faster than switching to a heavy weapon.
It would add a little bit of added depth to the weapon sandbox, especially since the Magnum has had no REAL place since Halo CE, letting it actually behave like a better “Crap, I’m out of ammo” weapon better than anything else should be it’s thing.

i think the halo 4 pistol should be all the halo versions combined. ect the suppressor since its not necessary. like Halo 1 pistol with what ever pros the others had like which ever version had the most ammo in clip, most ammo carried, fastest ROF, dual weild, etc. and you can zoom in liek halo 1 but if you zoom in with 2 dueled then you dont get a scope like halo 2.
it should have a scope and bloom. no scope and increased bloom when being dual-wielded.

This sounds great.

The CE pistol, dual-wielded, with Halo 2’s rate of fire? Why don’t you just go the whole hog and say you want a Scarab Gun?
I reckon the Reach pistol is easily the most balanced and the best pistol to continue the legacy of the pistol.
CE pistol would be waaaaay too over powered. look at the reach game type. nuff said.
halo 2 pistol was nice, but under powered even when dual wielded i reckon.
halo 3 pistol is the worse one of the lot. it can burn in hell.
ODST’s pistol is actaully very different from halo 2’s pistol. it was very accurate, had a smart linked scope but it was suicide to use against a shielded enemy. it was very tactical and great against nearly all unshielded enemys.
Reaches pistol has power, rate of fire yet inaccuracy at range. it can easily hold its own if used in right way and become a skilful deadly weapon if mastered. my choice of pistol.
did any one consider having two pistols in halo 4?

This.
The only problems with the Reach pistol was that it was not able to be used to it’s full potential because of Bloom and a small clip size. I’d much rather prefer recoil but increasing it’s clip size to 12 would work too.
The ODST pistol was awesome, only held back by lack of ammo and less than moderate damage.
The H1 pistol just needs a damage adjustment, H2 pistol was unrefined (also, it felt a lot like the pistols seen in other shooters: inaccurate, not very reliable), the H3 pistol is worthless garbage.
If we are going back to dual-wielding I’d say the ODST pistol would be a great choice. Weak against shields, yet not exactly useless. Easy to get quick multiple headshots on unshielded enemies. Dual-wielding the pistols would obviously give it a boost, yet wouldn’t make it overpowered. Can’t use the scope in dual-wield for balance.
If we’re not going back to dual-wielding then the Reach pistol would suffice. Halo 4 will probably have no bloom so it’ll need a larger magazine size and slower rate of fire.

my basis of my original idea for the halo 4 pistol was based on the halo reach pistol i just figured it should take around 8 shots to kill someone that way you could add duel wielding to it to balance it out. plus when it is single weld it would make a much better side arm and people wont just immediatly press y in games with AR/pistol starts like they do in reach
I am happy with anything as long as it isin’t like the Halo 3 pistol.
I honestly think reach nailed it down pretty hard!

actually i want all weapons in the past halo games when returned take the best parts of each and mix it. some weapons the only positive was on one halo game. if we had that back with the halo 2/3 style gameplay which we will it will workout just great. i’m not exaggerating like you are you know yours is just a joke mine has a better way to play. i bet you want the halo 3 pistol rof with no dual wield with halo 2 damage right?
Scoped pistol when single wielded, no scope when dual wieldable.

exactly what i suggested but apparently “annoying” thinks that op but i thought that would be the perfect mix
