Magnum Refined

Remove the scope, decrease the range, reduce the bloom (less than 85%). It would be the CQC precision weapon.

Not a bad idea. Not a great but, could make things a little better.

It would make zombies alot more fun.

hopefully they do something like

-85% bloom
-20% slower firing speed (they can do this :D)
-still 4 shot kill
-i like the scope also
-infinite range, so you can actually use it to defend yourself against snipers.

then make it a primary weapon spawn. winlife!

even better fix: remove it as secondary.

its a sub power weapon like the grenade laucher / concussion rifle and should be treated as such.

I did not forgo a scope on my Pistol for almost 7 years just to loose it in less than 2.

In Reach, powerful, quick and low in ammo. That’s a side arm. That isn’t as precise at longer ranges is great because it isn’t a rifle.

If you spawn with a Reach or CE Pistol, you’re good to go. If you spawn with a Halo2 or Halo3 Pistol, it’s better to run up to the nearest fusion coil and use it on that.

It just needs a reduced rate of fire. That is it.

So that it’s just like a worse DMR like in other games?

No, that’s boring as -Yoink-.

All it needs is to be a pick up on maps, so the wielder has a slight advantage and gives a reason to pick it up. Having this constant style of 2 similar weapons with one worse than the other is stupid and lacks diversity.

In the TU it kills in 4 shots. So it would hardly a worse version of the DMR.

The fact that is spawns as a DMR/Mag combo is horrible because the slight range the DMR has over it is countered on like ever map by the mags power and shot speed. And the AR/Mag spawn is laughable, especially now, because the AR is pathetic as a weapon.

Lol. A low bloom magnum with no scope and a slightly decreased range would find it’s niche in Reach’s sandbox I believe.
