I am tired of people using the pistol all the time in this game. It is just as bad as halo combat evolved. The pistol in halo 5 is way to overpowered. And it makes me angry because I see a lot of potential in this game but thanks to the pistol being too op I’m going back to the MCC collection. Until they lower the damage on the pistol. PLEASE people I know I’m not the only one with this issue.
I’ve said it a million times, and I’ll say it again: It’s a MAGNUM, it fires a .50 caliber bullet, realistically, one shot should kill you.
Also overpowered? Really?! If you get too close combat against an SMG or Assault Rifle, you most likely die. If you fight against an BR or DMR you will most likely die because both of them are still stronger. The Pistol is perfectly balanced for what it is. It “can” compete with other Weapons if you have an good Aiming - but it is nowhere overpower. Most of these Pistol-haters are only butthurt, that Pistol in this Game isn’t used to be an finishing off tool. And only because you don’t like Pistols it doesn’t mean it should be nerfed. God these Pistol-Haters nowdays… but they will not change it anyway. Beta the pistol were weaker and most people almost pro’s complained it was to weak for an starter utility weapon so they buffed it afterwards. Now they’ll not(hopefully) change it back because some of whiners can’t deal with the fact that now pistol is also meant to be a killing weapon, not an finisher weak garbage…
The Magnum has been a staple sidearm in Halo since CE, and only since ODST and each Halo onwards has it finally regained it’s glory. The pistol is perfect where it is right now.

Yes I know its a magnum but halo isn’t about realistic combat there wearing armor with shields. If I wanted realistic combat I would play battlefield or call of duty. I just think the pistol is doing way to much damage and should be tweaked so it doesn’t do as much damage as it does now.

I actually lol’d when you called CoD and Battlefield “realistic”.

I actually lol’d at your sarcastic response. If you think the weapon damage in H5 is more realistic than either two of those games then you need therapy. Hahaha
It’s a well designed gun and for once in a long time has a valid place in the sandbox. In the right hands it is powerful enough to defeat the other rifles, yet at the same time the other rifles are still valid alternatives due to their ease of use. In fact, despite the Pistol’s objective superiority in damage, I still often default to using the Battle Rifle simply because it’s more convenient.
The people trying to nerf the Pistol are the same exact people who were trying to nerf the Battle Rifle before. The only thing that has changed is their target, their attitude remains the same. They refuse to play a precision weapon focused game, and they refuse to acknowledge their own flaws and shortcomings.
If the developers cave into the demands of these people, you can kiss any form of competitive scene goodbye. Competitive players don’t think the Pistol is too strong. In fact a significant amount would argue even IN ITS CURRENT STATE it’s still too weak. Nerfing the Pistol is, to me, sheer nonsense.
That is me being one-hundred-and-ten percent honest about how I feel towards the Pistol. No jokes, no sarcasm. I am fed up with these threads.

Na the damage is perfect. Period. How they balanced it now, you can defend yourself with the Pistol against almost every other weapon even though the other Weapons are still stronger. If they nerf the pistol, it would be to weak and we would need BR Starts back, which also would cause that the Skillplay gets dumbed down. Don’t fix what works already fine. If you can’t deal to play with pistols go back to MCC and stay away from Halo 5, because i don’t wanna again a balanced mess because some people can’t deal with a Pistol as utility Weapon…
pistol is epic, and if ou watch good players they pickup and use most weapons in sandbox

Did I say Halo 5 is realistic? No. Did I say Halo 5 is more realistic than Battlefield or CoD? No. Read before you respond, next time.

But he said “more realistic” … your complain counts for yourself too!

I don’t recall ‘complaining’…
Pistol is OP? Thanks for giving me my first ‘lol’ of the day.
The he pistol is anything but OP. In a close range engagement I have to hit all my 5 shots pretty much without missing or I’ll be dead against an AR. If the player has a SMG then I’m probably dead regardless as that gun reigns supreme at CQC.
Long distance then the Light Rifle/DMR will probably beat me too if the other player can actually aim.
Mid range and the Carbine/BR are again more viable options than the Magnum is so I really don’t see how you have come up with OP and Magnum in the same sentence.
I I will say this though is the other player sucks with any of the above mentioned weapons then yes the Magnum will destroy them, but tell me what’s so wrong in that?

Yeah, realistically. But it’s a video game. Realistically, your health doesn’t regenerate, either. Lol.

I think he’s expressing his frustration at the “it’s a sidearm so it should be weak” argument that people typically make (even if the OP himself didn’t make that argument).
OP are u bronze?
Pistol is -Yoinking!- wack compared to both the BR and the DMR, if Halo didn’t have precision weapons, u might aswell just flush it out in the toilet just as the rest of your -Yoink-.
What do u play in MCC? i mean there are BR’s and other precision weapons in all of the other halo titles

Nothing is wrong if a players aiming is off and die because of that. I’m just getting frustrated because people use the pistol like if its the only weapon they have. And I have had more than enough encounters were I’m shooting a guy with a ar, br, dmr, smg, and finally the pistol were I don’t miss and he gets me.
Interestingly I was hoping they include the ODST pistol as DLC, and possibly upped the power or improved the zoom on that version, because I find the current pistol is sufficient to do the job but is quickly outclassed by other weapons the AR in close range and the BR immediately thereafter,so yeah I don’t agree that the current pistol is unbalanced.
