I don’t know about anyone else but I feel the magnum might be too good. Now I am not a pro player or anything but the magnum seems to be very powerful. The magnum is a “jack of all trades-pretty good at most” weapon. to start the BR is just weaker than the magnum less RRR, less accuracy, slower kill time, and less damage (assuming you miss a bullet). The light rifle is better but because of the slower fire rate getting players to unscope their weapons can be harder, but is overall good. The carbine is a super good weapon and why people neglect to pick it up (especially on a map like Truth) beats me. It has a better range, has a good TTK if headshot hits, and fast fire rate. The boltshot is just bad. And lastly the DMR, It is an ok weapon but not as good as the magnum because of the slower fire rate. Sure it has more range but other than warzone I don’t see how it helps all that much.
I don’t know how to fix this but I feel the magnum should be a sidearm not a primary weapon. I know some will kill me over this but I think Halo 6 should have a magnum similar to the one seen in Halo Reach or Halo 2. Again not a pro but these are just my thoughts with the game.
I already know a bunch of achilles with all black armor will be calling me a “lowtier scrub” but please be nice thank you.
I think it’s fine. Sure it’s powerful, it’s the “utility” weapon of H5. It doesn’t dominate near as much as say the BR did in H2/3. Other weapons are very useful in H5 even against the pistol, you just have to know how and when to use them.

I totally agree with you on everything especially with the BRs in H2 and H3.
The Pistol is fine, the sandbox is just full of redundant weaponry. Too many weapons are just tripping over each other trying to fill the exact same role so it just ends up being a better idea just to practice with the one you start with.
The Magnum has been and is totally fine. It has served its purpose very well. But, once they started the weapon tunings, they messed up the sandbox by making all other precision weapons mathematically inferior to a sidearm. So, relatively speaking, the Magnum is currently OP when comparing it to weapons like the BR. If the sandbox were back to its “version 1” state, it would not be OP and would fit its role perfectly.
I love the magnum it’s the best balanced gun in game I agree with a lot of the other guys they nerfed the be and Dmr and SMG way too hard they are borderline useless now and not fun to use
The problem is not the Magnum but the BR, it’s not good as the magnum so many people don’t use it and prefer the magnum which is strange for Halo in my opinion…
The thing is that the Magnum is basically better than all of those weapons if you’re even a decent shot with it (Except maybe the carbine). It has good fire rate, good range, high rrr, it’s basically the best gun you can use. The thing that I think would help the game is actually a buff to the BR, it’s just completely neglected save for warzone firefight and it just gets outperformed by the magnum in every aspect except range, which the BR slightly outdoes the Magnum in. So honestly the best thing for the game would probably be a buff to the BR.
Its a great weapon. And as has been stated, it´s Halo 5´s utility weapon while not being nearly as overpowered as the BR was in H2 and H3. Sure, they could tweak the BR somewhat and there are problems with redundancy, but overall there is a large collection of weapons that are useful in contrast to earlier games that focused on a few guns only.

in my opinion for the Halo 5 is the best E-sport armor to use in the competition
Honestly, I hate it. I can not use it as well as the Br. I hope that Arena, sooner or later, returns to being Br start as the competitive playlists of the past. Not H5 Br obviously.
I like the Magnum but it’s effective range needs to be reduced a little bit more. This will allow other weapons to have more priority during certain situations. The Magnum is supposed to be a sidearm, a fallback weapon, not the primary tool of destruction for a soldier.
Magnum in H5 is easily one of my favorite weapons. I really hope it returns with a similar feel in H6. Before the BR got nerfed the magnum was well balanced. After the nerf it’s really not worth picking up a BR over a magnld um on regular slayer maps due to the bullet spread. You could 4 shot someone with the BR and still miss some of the bullets but a 5 shot with a magnum is always a kill.

you have a 53% accuracy with the pistol with the H2BR at only 1% better.
I think you can use the pistol as well as the H2BR… just saying

The official accuracy stat includes bodyshots. It’s: [Shots Landed / Shots Fired] * 100.
In my opinion it does not make much sense. We all know that the main thing to win the clashes is the number of headshots. In fact, even a single hit recorded as bodyshot instead of headshot can determine your death. For example, in a magnum vs magnum duel, if you and your opponent start shooting at the same time but you make 2 bosyshot + 2 headshots while he makes 4 headshots, he wins the fight and you are dead.
So, I think the best accuracy statistic is: [Headshot / Shots Landed] * 100. In this case, my real accuracy is:
It just took the place of the BR in previous titles. I would rather the BR be the utility weapon instead of the magnum because it doesn’t make since that a handgun is more powerful than a rifle. Even if they were the same caliber, the longer barrel of the rifle would give the rounds more velocity, thus more power.
At least we have a utility weapon to spawn with though. There is nothing quite as aggravating as spawning in previous titles while the other team has map control and you only have an smg and sidearm.
Edit: I’ll give the CE magnum a pass on the above logic because it’s bullets are the size of railroad spikes lol
