If 343i made the Magnum to work like tge Sidekick in Infinite, would that bother you?

Games Halo Infinite

If 343i revealed the E3 demo with the Magnum visually but it worked like the sidekick still, would that bother you still? They wanted the sidekick to fit their new playstyle of an ideal secondary choice.

So if it was designed visually but played differently, would that bother you all. Or did you all want precision pistols only back?

2

yes
because the magnum has been shown many many times to be a powerful weapon, usually one clipping spartans
the sidekick is more for finishing people off to me, or popping their shields from a distance

Would love to see all the pistols return, but the weapon balancing would be important for that. Would have to ensure they are categorised correctly and spawning them in isn’t too OP.

Loved H5 SWAT as it had a H2 BR and HCE Magnum gametype. Not my favourite but made SWAT feel super fresh having loads of variations. I’d happily play CE SLayer where you get a beastly Magnum then a H5 Slayer where you all spawn with the 5 shot beast and thrust.

Yeah.

20 characters.

I want the exact everything for the Halo 5 Magnum and nothing less.

Whats the benefit of that a variety of pistole types? If you know the magnum is just the jack of all trades, you will never pick up a different type of pistole.

7

The only thing I’d want to know is if the Magnum would offer anything new that isn’t already provided by other guns. If it doesn’t, then it really isn’t adding anything of value to the game including it in now is it?

8

I don’t think it would, as long as they can beef up the magnum like the CE Pisfol.

why do you want old things? if you want old things then go play old games

Magnums are soooo much better than tiny little 9mm’s

11

I don’t want the CE Pistol to ever return thank you. That can stay in CE where it belongs.

Shot, be wiping out entire groups of people by myself in big team battle…

Yeah, happened once with the Halo 2 magnum if you’re looking for a reference.

The Halo 3 magnum had the feel of what the weapon should feel like, but not the effectiveness.

h3 odst magnum too(but its just the h2 magnum with the weakest damage for a magnum in the series
