ahh, just watching that made me wish that in MultiPlayer they brought back a magical gun like that into the mix…
People say the BR was overpowered, i never really thought so until i started participating in the b.net forums around a year ago. If you guys include that BR or the ODST pistol, I will love you like i love milky men.
It doesn’t need to be Nerfed or ANYTHING! keep it the way it is, pistol being 8 shots and keeping the DMR a five shot, and if you dual wield the pistols the reticule will increase x2.5 times bigger so it will DESTROY at close range, but will render nearly useless at far away. (if you think that is overpowered to dual wield, that you must also believe the shotgun is overpowered.) It would be a cool)
at first i was excited about the fact that Reach was going to have the Halo 1 pistol-ish in it, but when i started playing bloom ruined my life. TAKE OUT BLOOM! It takes away from the halo experience BY FAR! dont make it an option, it may add skill (not really tho) but it also takes so much away from core gameplay. You guys are trying to make a GOOD, FUN game, not a REPETITIVE, BLAND, BALANCED game.
Make Halo 4 so that it increases the skill gap. No one will be mad with you if you do so
> I don’t agree with removing the BR or i realy dont want the halo 3 ODST pistol i just want a pistol like halo 2 that looks cool and shoots fast.
Essentially, the H3 ODST pistol was the H2 Pistol, just with an added scope and silencer. I personally think that it would be cool to add both variants into the mix.
I really love the ODST pistol, but I don’t know if I’d feel comfortable seeing it in Halo’s multiplayer. A quick-firing, headshot-capable weapon with a 12-round magazine, excellent accuracy, and a 2x scope?
The ODST pistol almost sucked as bad as the Halo 2 pistol, but that video highlights pretty well why it was so vastly superior. Zoom and aim assist, along with a super-fast firing rate on that puppy made it great on almost every difficulty against almost anything. It’s probably the closest Halo has come to bringing back the God Pistol.
The only thing it was good for was headshotting Grunts and other unshielded enemies. People very rarely switched to a secondary to finish a kill in Halo 3, so I don’t see it working out at all.

Nuking shields with one weapon and switching to a headshot-capable one was all the rage in H2, if you remember. PP + BR, the (in)famous “noob combo”. Of course, the noob combo was primarly so popular because of the PP’s ludicrous homing capability. But nuking shields with one weapon and finishing an opponent off with a headshot was around since H:CE, although back then the “shield-nukers” were mostly grenades and sometimes melee attacks.
Anyway, I’m convinced that ODST’s pistol - or a weapon like it - would work great in multiplayer, provided that it takes no more than 12 hits to kill (with a headshot), but also not less than maybe 10. If it took less than (around) 10, it would be too easy and the weapon too overpowered; if it took more than 12, it would just be as stupid like in H2 where you needed 13 hits from your 12-round magnum.

I don’t, unfortunately. I never played Halo 2, except for Halo 2 PC, which doesn’t count because it’s dead.

Some people might throw a fit and call me names when I say that, but you didn’t miss much. In my opinion, H2 was good and all, but it was massively overrated just because it finally provided multiplayer over xbox live. If it had been released only a year later, it would have probably gotten bashed for its really lousy network code that made it ridiculously easy to cheat in matchmaking, its massive aim-assist, and it’s “two SMGs are awesome!” spray-and-pray focused gameplay.
H2 is one of the games that’s worth having for its campaign, though.
The ODST pistol would be too overpowered, it’s silenced so shots don’t appear on radar, it has a 2x scope, rapid fire with no decrease in accuracy, so it’s a headshot machine.
Yes! I loved that pistol so much! It was my favorite weapon out of all of the Halo series! And if they do decide to bring it back to Halo 4, make sure it looks the same
The ODST Pistol and SMG are my favourite halo weapons ever. I still play ODST campaign all the time. I hope the UNSC upgrade all their weapons and vehicles and bring back some upgraded old weapons as part of Halo 4’s Story.
