How will the magnum work?

BR - Serves it 4 shot purpose.

DMR - without bloom will probably Work as the halo 3 pistol for balance.

NO DUAL WIELDING (i wish there was dual wielding)

WITH THESE 3 things in the game, I can see the magnum working like HAlo 2. It can’t work like HAlo 3, since the DMR is pretty much the EXACT same fire rate and is 5 shot kill. It Can’t work like Reach, since there IS NO BLOOM, it would make it overpowered against the DMR and BR.

It HAs to work like Halo 2 (fast fire rate, low power) to be balanced. THOUGHTS?

I like how you conveniently leave out how it was in CE.

All we need is a 4sk God Pistol and it’ll be fine.

YEah, I like how I leave it out too! Because it would make the game unbalanced :P. It’s a 3 shot kill pistol in CE… not 4. Learn your facts.

I think they should bring back the old 3sk CE pistol but have no aim assist or bullet magnetism and make it a map pickup in default gametypes, it would be super powerful but very hard to use.

I never said it was 4 shot to begin with. They have make it 4 shot, obviously. It’s not like they only have templates for the weapons they put in the game, and they choose which one is used.

Then instead of just saying 4 shot. Explain how 4 shot would work and how it would be balanced with the other single shot guns :P. (BR/ DMR)

If it was 4 shot… It would be Stronger than the BR AND Dmr, because the firerate is faster, and the DMR is 5 shot. Not to mention the DMR firerate is the Halo 3 pistol

It just needs to be a dual Halo CE pistol all the time

They can configure other weapons too, you know. And the DMR firerate isn’t the Halo 3 Pistol.

All I’m saying is the the GoD Pistol, changed to be a 4sk and having hitscan, would be the most optimal version of the Magnum for Halo 4. It isn’t not a hard concept to grasp.

The only way it makes the game unbalanced is if they retain high aim assist and bullet magnetism, coupled with unresponsive strafe and low movement speed. In which case the BR and DMR would also be unbalanced as they have been in the past few games due to ridiculous ease of use. There’s very little aiming skill involved in the BR and DMR in Halo 2, 3, and Reach. There was a ton of aiming skill involved in using the CE Pistol, which is why 3sk didn’t happen very often but 4sk and 5sk are almost par for the course.

It should work as a side arm and not a primary weapon :slight_smile:

> How will the magnum work?

A spring-loaded bolt slides with each shot, ejecting the spent casing and loading a new bullet from the magazine in the handle. In larger handguns, the magazine may be able to hold 15 bullets, and the trigger action is lighter than with a revolver. This animation shows a typical action.

A potentially faster killtime than the BR, with heavy recoil. Makes it occupy a close - medium range niche.
