Does anyone else feel that the magnum doesn’t actually feel like a powerful magnum but a dinky pistol? Yes I realize magnums are pistols, but they have that slower fire rate and louder and bigger “BANG” that really makes the Halo CE Magnum awesome. Now, I’m not asking for a buff, but a compromise, maybe for Halo 5, that can also make the different secondaries unique.
Magnum
Lower fire rate (similar to that of Halo CE)
Higher damage (4 shot kill)
Kill time is approximately 2 seconds
Effective range is still at close quarters
Keep the scope distance, clip size, and range
Plasma Pistol
More shots can be put before needing to vent (preferably Reach’s # of shots)
When charging, doesn’t take so much energy (preferably Reach’s depletion time)
Keep damage and range
Boltshot
No charge:
Make it like the current UNSC magnum in terms of ROF
Keep damage, clip size, and range
Charged:
Should be 1/2 - 3/4 the range of the UNSC shotgun
Should take whole clip OR longer charge time
Temporary need to vent
Please discuss. I understand some ideas are going to be bashed.
