Halo CEA Matchmaking Weapon Behavior

So, Dan Ayoub has said that 343i has figured out how to perfectly replicate the Halo CE pistol behavior in new matchmaking gametypes. I’m wondering though:

  • Will these changes be limited to damage dealt, or will they replicate rate of fire, clip size, etc?
  • Will changes be made to replicate the other weapons from Halo CE (Assault rifle, plasma weapons, grenades, etc)?
  • In the remade maps, will the weapons spawn in their original locations?

Frankie…if you’re out there and care to drop me a line, I’m sure I’m not the only one who would be appreciative for the info. Thanks guys.

In addition to these questions, I’d like to know if they have removed hitscan from the pistol (and/or other weapons), or made some other changes to emulate shot leading/bullet travel time.

To answer some of your questions, AFAIK the pistol clip size will remain the same, and they wont be implementing the stun effect on plasma weapons.
