Please Bring Back The Halo 3 Magnum

> Halo Reach TU pistol > Halo CE pistol > Halo 2 pistol > Halo 3 pistol.

halo2 pistol with the look of tha reach pistol with the ablity to shoot as fast az ur fingers can move with an automatic ability

No scope, no bloom, and the Reach pistol’s fire rate, then maybe.

No cuz the CE pistol has a spread and wat 3 shots. the TU pistol is 4sk and does not have a spread. I’m sure they will make the CEA pistol play a lot more like the one from H1. The current TU pistol is fine. It’s like using the SMG pistol combo from H2. The power of the pistol makes up for the fact you can’t dual wield anymore. I have no problem with it. If they were going to tone it down, don’t make it boring like The H3 pistol. Keep the ROF the same and make it a 6 shot kill. This makes it so if a player out shoots another player with the DMR, they earned that kill. BUT ONLY if they do tone it down. I think the pistol as it is now, is a perfect pickup gun with a 2 min spawn. The only people who hate anything about the TU, are mostly people getting worked. A dude I played with on these forums, ranged at me and a few others in the game, because I was strafing and I am also a bumper jumper. Before he quit the game,he said, and I quote, " I CAN’T HIT YOU WITHOUT BLOOM, THIS IS BULL ****." I rest my case.

Give it a scope and you have a deal.

> Give it a scope and you have a deal.

I would rather have 2 more bullets in the mag, but a scope would be somewhat useful.

I don’t really think weapons that can’t kill by itself should be in the game.

Facepalm IT CAN. Why do people not read?

I did, it doesn’t change the fact the magnum was underpowered in 3. It’s RoF was just too slow and any player who doesn’t run in straight lines could beat it. Most situations where someone gets a kill with a magnum the enemy was already weakened by another gun or grenade.

And in all of those situations, the person with the Magnum wasn’t good. In fact, the Magnum works better when people are farther and you seem to forget, it is a sidearm, not god’s own anit-son-of-a–Yoink- machine.

I don’t believe side arms should exist in a sandbox game like Halo. Every weapon should be useful on its own without the assistance of other weapons and melee. If every weapon had the ability to be used on its own the variety in gameplay would increase.

halo 3s magnum worked only with dual welding, and not even then.
GIve it a slightly fasted ROF and a (2x zoom OR more power) and it might be good. if they are dual welding (if it is in halo 4) then they cant zoom with it.

But you’re not listening. IT IS. It is just hard to use.

I’m sorry, but you lose all credibility, to me, when you say the CE magnum was skilless.

> But you’re not listening. IT IS. It is just hard to use.

Of course the pistol can get a kill but it still isn’t a good weapon. It gets outdone in its own niche by the BR and the Carbine which makes it useless.

Dual wielding. Ever hear of it? How about grenades? You don’t just stand there and shoot. And the BR and Carbine easily beats EVERYTHING in its niche area.

> I’m sorry, but you lose all credibility, to me, when you say the CE magnum was skilless.

Sorry, but power =/= skill. Easy to use, easy to get kills with, nothing can counter it. Even 343 said it was “wildly overpowered.”

I think the Reach pistol should make a comeback, but should be dual wieldable and slightly weaker so two pistol dual wield isn’t overpowered.

You just helped prove my point that the pistol was underpowered, if it can’t get a kill without the assistance of dual wielding and grenades it isn’t a good weapon.

Power =/= lack of skill either. And plenty could counter it.

The CE pistol had the least amount of auto-aim and bullet magnetism of any single gun in Halo. But I guess because it could actually kill effectively in the right hands it was skilless.
