I personally love the pistol in Halo 5 and I have gotten several kills with it but I believe it is to powerful. When people run around with a pistol as a primary and is able to outgun a br, dmr, and the ar, something is wrong. The damage ratio on it is to high and no I don’t suck with it, but I would like to die by other weapons instead of constantly seeing people die by the pistol.
I don’t see anything wrong with the pistol.

It’s a mini DMR essentially.
If they nerf by a shot or two for a kill, I think it’ll be perfect.
I made a post just before about this most people seem to think it’s fine but it’s probably because they like using it cause it’s op? I think it needs a tad nerf not too big.
They need to nerf the range and/or the speed. Also they need to change the sound because everytime I think I’m being shot by a DMR.

Yeah, and…? It was a mini DMR in the right hands back in Reach and 4. I see no issue.
Lol no because if they did that, it would ruin the balance of all the weapons. Anything can easily take out a pistol including the DMR and BR. So sorry but it doesn’t need a nerf. If it was the Halo 1 pistol then sure but it isn’t.

It shouldn’t be seen as that, if it is seen as that then the dmr is basically obsolete and useless if the pistol and do better.
I think it’s fine. I still win in BR and DMR battles, and a lot of the time AR just by strafing and jumping.
The range should be shortened IMO and have everything else kept the same.
You guys just want it nerfed because you suck at using it. It is not an easy weapon to use when you are constantly being run down by an AR. Put down your AR and trying using it and let me know how OP it is. The AR in this game are way OP and if you watch people play, hardly anyone will pick up a BR or DMR because they can get more kills with a AR.
The Basic Loadout is the Assault Rifle for close combat and the Magnum for distance. I don’t see anything wrong with the Magnum. It’s working as it should.
The DMR should be buffed… oh no, it’s my aiming that sucks

Often times the magnum will kill me as I shoot them with an AR, a small nerf wouldn’t hurt.
Knew this thread would be coming. In all honesty all the guns feel pretty equal. I don’t think anything needs changed but I almost feel like there’s no difference in any of the guns. They all do high damage.
I say the damage multiplier on the pistol should be the thing that gets nerfed, that is what gets its kill quickly often.

Well ya…because they’re getting headshots. Both guns do high damage. Again it’s almost like there’s no difference in any of the guns. Nothing needs nerfed yet. It’s WAY too eatly to be saying stuff like that.

You are absolutely right
If they nerf it, then you will run into balance issues across the board. The pistol wouldn’t be worth using, so everyone would just be running around with AR spam, which is not skillful/competitive. The start of the game would largely determine who was going to win, because if you lose the initial push and the other team becomes fully equipped with DMRs/BRs, you will get pinned down by a competent team.
Right now it is balanced perfectly. The pistol is an extremely effective tool and can compete with the BR/DMR, but the rifles are still better which heavily promotes constant map flow. I was leery of this as well before the game came out, but I saw how stagnate the game became in the beta with BR starts and I love their decision to make the pistol powerful.
BR/DMR 4 shot.
Pistol 5 shot and shoots slower.
Assault rifle takes about 3/4 of a 36 round clip to kill.
