The h2 pistol

So now we have the h1 pistol and the h2 br, so why not the h2/ odst pistol A.K.A the smg pistol. It could be a legendary mythic, (because buck and cheif used it) and it could have the silencer attachment in it already. Just make the ttk or the shots to kill equal if not less to the h2 br. (also don’t make this a 5 shot kill weapon make it a 7-8 weapon)

NO. Not only would it be the most useless REQ of all time, we already have the Whispered Truth for the ODST pistol. Redundancy is something nostalgia disregards, and that’s what made Halo CE special: one weapon for each type.

why does everyone want old content? and not new?

IMO, no we don’t need the Halo 2 pistol.

THANK YOU.

I am so tired of everyone obsessing over classic Halo items instead of wanting Halo 5 to have its own new identity. The Master Chief Collection is where you should have gotten your nostalgia fix. Let’s leave it all there and let Halo 5 be new.

The damn SPNKr shouldn’t be showing up just as much as the brand new rocket launcher that’s barely gotten any exclusive screentime, the Halo 2 BR makes shootouts inconsistent because of how similar yet oh-so slightly different it is, and the CE Magnum is a straight up novelty that doesn’t even pretend to act like it belongs in an Xbox One game.

This stuff is super tacky.

h2 pistol is useless… and cute

No. We already have the god-tier CE pistol, the Halo 2 pistol is the second worst in the franchise.

Not to mention, we already have Buck’s silenced H2-esque pistol anyway.

Change the topic to brute shot or mauler and you got yourself a thread.

Exactly. H5 has enough redundant weapons to start with. They don’t need to add a even more weapons that do slight, pointless variations of exactly the same thing so people can feel nostalgic for a bit.

Because you have the whispering truth.

The worst in the franchise being…halo 3’s?

Now that I can agree on.

Throw the Spiker in there too.

The ODST pistol and the H2 pistol are not one in the same. ODST released after H3, so that pistol was based on H3’s pistol with a silencer and a faster rate of fire (sound familiar? Like the Whispered Truth maybe? Just replace “faster fire rate” with “3-round burst” and viola!)

Halo 2’s pistol was some serious hot garbage.

Because “new content” is rehashed maps.

I would honestly love more phaeton varients.

Just drain an energy sword and swing at people. Its just as effective as the H2 magnum.

Uh, they’re the same. Both are the M6C model, only the one in ODST is the SOCOM variant of the M6C Magnum sidearm. The pistol in Halo 3 is the M6G model, same as the Magnum in Reach.

The best solution would be to add to Halo instead of needlessly changing visuals for no good reason. For example, why change the unique design of the SPNKr into a basic looking bazooka in the first place?

I like it. How is that even exhausting you?

Yeah, when I first saw it my initial thoughts was why it resembled (especially with the reloading) some rocket launchers in Destiny. It’s just the way it looks from the wielder’s perspective to me. Then, I couldn’t help but see a generic anti-tank launcher like the LAW, a basic tube weapon.

Sure, the UNSC need to update their weapons, but why not just make an advanced and more modern variant of said weapon? The assault rifle, Magnums and BR have been simply updated to a more advanced model, from Halo 2’s crappy M6C to Halo 5’s now useful M6H2 magnum.
