Was the pistol used in gameplay replacing the halo ce type of pistol, or is it one of many variants in the upcoming game?
From what I understand it REPLACES the magnum. Which I just can’t believe, the Halo 5 magnum is easily the most perfect weapon ever made. It is flawless! Why take them out? Why take the shotgun out?
Of course I’m open to test these new weapons, but I would like to see weapons added while the weapons we know are there too.
Based on reading the article, it sounds like they’ll update the game over time with introducing new weapons. Also, they said multiple variants will exist for some weapons. I totally understand that classic weapons should have a place in Infinite, but we also should have new ones too.

It seemed like the new pistol functions very similarly to the Halo 5 magnum, but simply looks different. I’m sure there’s differences but it had minimal bloom so it’s still useful.
But they really need the classic shotty.

From what I read it is like a Gunfighter magnum or the infamous Halo 2 pistol, fast fire rate and draw, but with strong bloom and recoil. The Magnum is heavier, stronger and slower. Both have its particulars to be justified in the game. I don’t see a reason for the Magnum nor the Shotgun not being in Infinite.
I hope they’re adding to the weapon pool. Giving players options is always a plus, and it adds depth to weapon placements on maps. If certain weapons are better suited for certain maps, why not have variations of said weapons.
I prefer the idea of a sidearm being a fall back weapon. That’s why the gunfighter magnum was so perfect. It was fast, accurate, and dealt a fair amount of damage. If used properly, it could be a great close quarters fall back weapon as well. The standard usage of the magnum as a utility weapon almost negated the the use of anything else, due to its high damage, high accuracy. So a sidearm pistol is a welcome addition. Keep the magnum, but make it more of a power type weapon.
Thanks all.
This game is looking like a nightmare.
Hopefully things improve all around.

Because they changed the pistol? Like how Bungie changed it in Halo 2? Or how they made it look like the CE version but gave it no scope in Halo 3? Or how they made it look like the Halo 2 version in ODST but with a silencer and a scope?
Or how plenty of other weapons came and went (no AR in 2, no Carbine in Reach, totally redesigned AR in Reach, etc.) and yet fans were able to cope? Oh but not this time?
ok
Personally, I think this is being given too much importance. Just because it’s a spiritual reboot, based on Halo CE, doesn’t mean it should be a 1: 1 game. Also, it’s not a definitive thing, in the future we may see these weapons back.

Or it could just be that they find this particular design to be genuinely awful looking. I don’t care that it isn’t an M6, I care that it looks like the most generic pistol I could imagine.
Is it the end of the world? Of course not, but it is just another disappointment on top of the other issue’s I already have with the game.

I imagine the BR75 is being designed as the primary utility weapon, especially for Multiplayer

Yeah, no need to just get bent about just the pistol.
Didn’t mean to upset you, Dr Halsey. But imo the pistol is meh.
Im actually concerned the game might not launch with multiplayer.
I know, that sounds crazy, but if its true 343 might update infinite a year after launch with ray tracing…
They’ve said it’s replacing the magnum but they hinted that the magnum will be added later on so hope isn’t completely crushed yet.
The new pistol shown looks extremely weak and unsatisfying to shoot. Something that most players will never bother to use. Look how many shots it took to kill one jackal on Easy (must have been playing on easy)-journalist difficulty.
