halo reach was good because the pistol was such an important weapon, its so useable and such a good secondary.
I think the halo 3 pistol was alright but the ODST one was better, so i think either the halo reach pistol, halo odst pistol or a new one
because if you think about it those ones probably got irradiated with the fall of the planet
The Halo 3 magnum to me was bad…really bad
The Halo 3 pistol was EASILY one of the worst weapons in the entire Halo universe. What a horribly boring and useless weapon. Reach’s pistol is the best.
I thought that Reach had the best pistol.

I loved the Reach pistol most, it was not overpowerd, it was not underpowerd. Yes i’m a TU hater, sometimes i just wonder why people want HALO CE to return… I love the remake and the original but i dont want the old style to come back, i want them to furter explore the posibilities not copy paste like COD.
Reach was a different game, and has improved, the pistol is not total useless. i get outmatched many times, i prefer the assult rifle, why?, because you can actually kill some one with it in reach. its not not about the all around GOD-GUN. Well it is not with the DMR and Pistol after the titel update.
Let me just say, youre making it to easy for the developers, and you should even ask more and more. dont ask for HALO 3 to return ask for HALO 3.1 to return let them make it better!

OT: The Halo 3 Magnum was far from useless but you had to dual wield that thing to get mileage of out. Thing is though you’d have to get closer which the BR can take you out before you can do that if the player had brain and thumbs. Single wield against anything else in the game and you become death fodder.
The Halo 2 Magnum however, was useless. Halo Reach’s pistol would have been fine but Bungie and Sage had to herp derp and give it broken spread. It’s a very VERY random gun, even more so than the DMR/NR. The bullet spread should only occur if you are spamming. You don’t have to spam the Magnum as the bullets spread randomly after couple paced trigger pulls and therefore, the Anniversary magnum is no different.
Go ahead people, test out Magnum. Even on ZB and Anniversary settings there is still spread. DMR/NR on ZB doesn’t have any because the reticule doesn’t expand.
I still hated the Halo 3 Magnum by far the most, it was very slow, only had 8 bullets, and was basically like the BR (with 4hsk), but with less range. That’s why it’s terrible imo. I’d take the Halo 2 pistol over it, at least it was fun to use.

Agreed, now all it needs is a bigger clip.
We don’t need more useless weapons. Why even make it then?
I’m sorry but the pistol with no zoom is by far the best thing for Halo’s weapon balancing. In no way should you have a pistol as strong as a rifle in any game! Or can scope as far as one!
I would much rather weapons on the map matter then start with a Pwnage Pistol like in Reach!
Halo 2 & 3 Pistol was the best for weapon balance.

Why? because they were never used? So why make it? Nobody said it had to beat a rifle but they were absolutely useless in H3.

They were never used because every weapon was useless due to the BR’s overpoweredness. It had high range, high damage, and was easy to use. Not to mention it obliterated every weapon in their niche area easily simply because it was the BR. Nobody ever used anything else because they also got all “Im so MlG pR0!!!11!!1! u WaNa 1v1 m3?! Br Sn1p3zZzZzZ!11!1!!”
The Halo 3 Magnum was very useful. You just had to be skilled, in a proper situation, and smart. You can’t sit a mile away spamming the BR on unsuspecting targets.

Which is why they should buff the rest of the sandbox to compete with weapons like the BR.

Yeah, lets change all of our normal weapons that we have in perfect balance with each other to be able to compete with an overpowered weapon.
/Sarcasm
The BR still kills too fast too easily at long ranges. I would just recommend making the BR a 5 shot kill.
P.S. DMR =/= 5 shot kill BR

You do realize it is a PISTOL, right? It’s not supposed to be God’s own anti-son-of-a–Yoink–machine, but it is still very good. Keep your distance from enemies, aim from the head, and be in the proper situation. It has limits just like every other gun in Halo. Except… The Halo 2 BR. shivers
The single wield Magnum can kill an AR faster than it can kill you. You can’t try to pull a Leeroy Jenkins with it. It is great for picking at targets at a distance and damaged targets. It’s also effective against normal enemies.
Halo 3 Magnum would just be adding in a weak weapon, which would defy the laws of Halo’s upper standard of balance. We don’t need weapons that are “good clean up” weapons. We need weapons that make people want to use them for the advantages they have.
> spamming the BR
Thanks for confirming that you have no idea what you’re talking about.

I used every weapon in H3 BUT the magnum. Skill has nothing to do with it, being skilled won’t magically make the magnum work for ya.

Why do you people not listen to what I’m saying? It does have advantages! It can be dual wielded and kill anywhere from 1-4 shots depending on what you use it with. You can beat a BR in close quarters if you are good and dual wield it. The Magnum can pick off targets at distances that your other weapons can’t.

The problem with that is people who are actually good and can think are good with the Magnum. People just try to use it in idiotic ways or aren’t in the proper situation.
