Pistol is frustrating

We need a match making room just for pistols as well as new pistol models as well.

I did appreciate the aim on the pistol.

no changes should be made with the pistol

:wink:

I think it’s okay, but it’s not what I would use.

Personally, I love the magnum again. Feels like the Halo 2 original magnum. Powerful, but it is a secondary.

Playing Halo since combat evolved, I could say that the magnum has always played a big role in halo to say the least. I do think it should be nerfed in Halo 5 Guardians, simply because being out gunned by it at mid to long range while using a BR or DMR is ridiculous. It is a precision weapon and a great one to start with, but the magnum has always been the type of weapon you whip out when you can’t quite kill the enemy and you need those extra shots. In no way it should be seen as a primary weapon of choice. I know they want the game balanced against the other precision weapons but really, it’s "Too Balanced ".*

To be honest I love the pistol.

The point of the pistol is when the other team is dominating with long range weapons like the BR or DMR, you spawn with a weapon that can counter that and give you a fighting chance. This is the best balanced gunplay we have EVER had in a halo game

i love pistol, but AR should be better

The Halo 2 magum was weak.

Agreed.

The assualt rifle is the over powered gun not the pistol

It really isn’t that powerful, in fact its perfectly balanced, if you think its on par with DMR and BR than you either really cant use those weapons or you’re unlucky enough to be up against extremely skilled players.

They can be annoying at times, but I’m fine with it overall. I just wish the Smart Scope for it was a little better.

the pistol is fine and dont really have a problem with people using it as a primary

In my opinion I feel like the pistol is to strong for what it is, everyone is using it in every match and in break out I think its to powerful.

Yeah, getting Sniped by a Pistol across the map isn’t fun.
