I personally believe the pistol is too powerful. It easily outmatches the AR and this is not how it should be. It should just be a weapon you use when its quicker than reloading.
Lol. Pocket DMR.
To me it’s got to much distance on it. I’ve been dropped across a map by one many times. Up close I could understand it.
It may be slightly OP but I like it and everyone starts with it so at least everyone has a CQB and Distance weapon from the off.
So as not to get caught short by the Snipers and DMRs grabbed by others at the beginning I think they should remain as they are.
For me it is not supposed to be a useless sidearm, like many other games, but a standard issue badass alien dropper! It is a Magnum after all, not simply a pistol!
I find its OP slightly for long range but in CQB its useless.
The Magnum is perfect in its current state.
I don’t like it but not because I feel its overpowered. I simply just find it harder to use compared with the Magnum in Halo 4. I guess it’s getting used to the whole smart-link thing. I am so bad at swatnums its embarrassing.
It’s always been my secondary since CE. Well except for H2. That pistol sucked.
I like it as is
Its good
It is good as it is.
Try using the Magnum against someone who specializes in the DMR.
Your opinion will change. (Mine sure did… )
I don’t like it being able to conpete with rifles with ease. I’d much rather have it be a secondary with reduced damage with BR spawns. If only we could go back to the Halo Reach or Halo 4 magnum.
