Yeah I don’t like that they changed them. The magnum doesn’t look like it belongs in Halo, it’s too modern. The shotgun… Like why? It was one of the most classic Halo designs.

Yeah the shotgun looks way to Call of Duty. The magnum looks like the one from Halo 3 ODST but more modern i think the magnum should be in the game. But not replace the classic one.

Exactly
I kinda like the new magnum and shotgun even though they could work wide by side as variants I don’t mind then being replaced if the new ones live up the olds standards which none of us have been able to really get our thoughts by using it gameplay wise. Most likely it’s going to be added post launch or the small chance of it being added before launch but I doubt the latter.
I liked the new weapons and how they look. They are weapons designed to kill brutes more easily and with this game, that’s gonna be helpful.
It’s not supposed to be the magnum, it’s supposed to be a completely different pistol, definitely looks like it was modeled after the g19 (looks out of place but I do like a good glock) not sure why they added a new pistol though instead of just keeping the magnum, literally my favorite weapon in most the games. With all that being said, it is a completely different pistol but the magnum will not be in the launch (however I wouldn’t be surprised to see it in an update or dlc)
Same goes for the shotgun, they didn’t remodel the shotgun they added a completely different shotgun and aren’t featuring the classic shotgun at launch.
The new shotgun is supposed to be 12 gauge verses the old 8 gauge, main points to it is that even though its a little weaker it shoots faster and has a bigger magazine.
Pretty much the same for the pistols, magnum was supposed to be a large caliber (never says which that I’ve seen but assuming some made up 50 cal magnum) and the new pistol is a smaller caliber (probably like a 45 acp or 10mm) allowing, once again, increased magazine size with higher rate of fire but reduced damage.
Just my spin on them, don’t feel the new shotty looks to outa place but the new pistol definitely stands out (I do like a good reliable g19 though). Wouldn’t worry to hard though, I’m sure there will be added weapons in DLC and/or updates, and wouldn’t be surprised if some classic weapons appeared in them.

Yeah but the magnum and the shotgun shouldn’t be in added in a dlc. It should be in the base game and you have the option to choose between the 2 variants of the weapons.
It should be your choice you can either run with the new 12 gauge or the 8 gauge, the magnum with more ammo or the magnum with less that does more damage.

Ya I don’t disagree with that at all, like I said, the magnum was my favorite weapon in almost every campaign except a few that they got nerfed in.
I was only trying to rationalize what they were thinking (not that I truly know)
The idea of a quick draw pistol that is meant to be a sidearm is interesting, although I think people will still miss the magnum. Big mistake I think.
Just make the magnum have a quicker draw to give it a buff over more suitable ranged weapons such as the DMR or BR, up the fire rate, and obviously balance it better than the Halo CE magnum (while making it more viable than h2 and H3).
Shotgun is a bad idea. Understand they want a better shotgun maybe for competitive reasons or to make it more of a power weapon, but really the single slug at a time reload was what made it special - coupled with it’s actual decent range in CE without being OP.
Removing both single loading AND likely nerfing it’s damage at range further to buff it in other ways is a bad idea I think. Just replicate CEs.

I Agree the design of the classic shotgun and Magnum should’ve been the ones added in the first place. These two additions wouldn’t have been an issue if their design was more like Halo and the OG shotgun and magnum were implemented. If they wanted a “spiritual reboot” they dropped the ball here.
But hopefully they touch them up a bit so they look and sound like Halo.
The Pistol at first looked like the Halo 2 Magnum, I’m gonna be honest with everyone. I never liked changed for the sake of it. What was wrong with the old shotgun design? Even the drastic Halo 4 and 5 shotguns still looked like bulkier versions of the classic shotgun. Those small light details are all it needed, not an entirely brand new design.
Well I don’t mind the change, I really don’t mind if it gets added on later in a dlc update. Destiny 2 doing that alot with guns from destiny 1 getting added in destiny 2 overtime.
I actually said this in my forum post but I personally like the look of the new shotgun and pistol but if 343 had just added the classic shotgun and magnum alongside the Bulldog (shotgun) and the Sidekick (pistol) it would have been taken better by some of the community who aren’t as happy with it as I am.
