The magnum is single handedly ruining the multiplayer for me and for almost everyone I’ve played Halo 5 with. On day one I noticed that the radar was gimped and it was extremely annoying; but that’s nothing compared to how overpowered the magnum is. We haven’t had a magnum this powerful since CE. There’s literalky teams usimg only the magnum and they’re outgunning DMRs and BRs. I’ve been outgunned by magnums when I was wielding a DMR before. It’s unscceptable. Reach and ODST had the perfect magnum. It’s supposed to be a good sidearm; not a primary. Please either remove it as a secondary or lower the damage. It ruins the game and makes me have to play Warzone to have fun or just play a different game altogether. No other Halo has been this unbalanced.

Problem is the community wanted a return to a CE like Magnum. I still prefer a BR. Plus now that I’ve gotten my pistol commendation I usually look to swap it out with something else anyway for the XP
Magnum is perfect. close range miss one shot vs AR you die. BR/DMR beats magnum almost always.
they actually said it was a utility weapon
Theres not a problem with the pistol.
“No other Halo has been this unbalanced.” BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA…no. Halo Reach and Halo 4 would like to speak with you.
I find as much as I’ve always loved the pistol it is indeed too powerful in this game.
its rate of fire is nice and fast. but its too fast for the amount of damage it does. it easily outweighs the dmr and br. as the pistol fires at the same range in the hands of a skilled user anyway
A little extreme here I think. The pistol is a utility weapon. It takes the place of the BR/DMR. Were you complaining in other Halo games that the BR was OP too?

Yep I think almost all 8ns are perfectly balanced for the first time in halo history. Where you start with 2 guns which aren’t useless and can beat players with more powerful guns still. Although every single weapon you can pick up is useful, even the needler! There’s no pleasing some people as I’ve seen forums saying saying in make magnum even better, make ar worse, make ar better. It’s ridiculous.
I’m not really sure halo 5 even needs br starts. Think of why we had it it the first place? We had smgs as an alternative. Now that we have this great balace while starting with good close and long range guns it’s a lot more fun. If it’s any thing like the beta br starts will take something away from that.
And btw this is gonna sound mean but i hace to say it. Notice how people who want the guns made worse are bronze or silver rank? If youre not good at halo making the guns less powerful isnt gonna change that, it’ll just make you die slightly slower. Get practicing and improve anf magically you will realise the pistol is fine.

unskilled players have no chance
If you are getting out gunned by the pistol when you have a BR or DMR I would say it’s either your skill level or your trying to use weapons which are mainly for mid to long range in close range exchanges.
BR > Pistol
To me that pistol is useless you miss one shot with it and you die.
I think the problem is that it has no bloom. In Halo 4 and Reach it was just as powerful and accurate, it’s just that you had to chose to fire it slowly for the shots to land. I feel like a lot of the people wouldn’t even consider using the pistol as a primary if it had a faster firing rate but bloom was added when you spammed it. Patient players could use the pistol this effectively in 4 and reach, the difference is that in Halo 5 everyone can. Basically they’ve made it too easy to use and now it has a much smaller skill gap which is frustrating for players who could use it this well before.
Pistol is Love, Pistol is Life
If you’re getting beat by magnums while you have a BR/DMR you deserve it
Use a DMR or a BR cause magnums are effective at short range.

People with attitudes like this ruined Destiny’s handcannons, got them nerfed three times, until they were useless. You really want start down that dark path?
#nope
The magnum is saving this game.
