Yes, i think that there should be a pistol that you spawn with but due to the high sight lines, nobody uses the AR just the pistol an the fact that it kills so quickly is astonishing I mean pretty much every game I have ha on arena has been a magnum-fest and also swatnums WTF, its stupid, and where is the DMR in SWAT
Another one of these threads?..
Interesting…
Months after release and these nerf the magnum topics still exist hmm…
Well, OP expect the general answer to be “Never will be nerfed” as that’s usually how these go over and over despite this topic constantly showing its head.
The Magnum Never will be nerfed!!!
I know right! The pistol is too weak! We should buff it to a 3 shot kill. The game will be more halo that way anyhow.
Also; buff the grenades: 1 grenade = 1 kill. None of that shield breaking nonsense. Also able to hold 4 grenades of any type.
Also; able to ride on tanks.
If it is as powerful as you say it is, its only logical to use that instead of the AR. The truth is you need to learn when which weapon is the best for each situation.

Those sightlines are a direct detriment that is consequential to Sprint. 343i had to elongate the maps to accommodate sprint, which then lead to the weapons being buffed with more range. Why spray down a long hallway with the Assault Rifle, when I can precisely headshot someone with a Magnum, or Battle Rifle. So, if you want the Magnum to be nerfed, Sprint needs to be removed.
The pistol doesn’t need a nerf but maybe you just need a buff
welcome to halo waypoint
you must be confused on where to post weapon nerf threads
i recommend using this link to post all complaints about weapons and balance
343i has continued the legacy of minimal modifications to weapons because Halo has the greatest reputation for weapon balance and skill gaps
if you have failed to comprehend the information above i can express it to you with simple forum speak:
get gud or get rekt

GG LatchedRacer, GG. That link was hilarious.

Way to try to shoe-horn an anti-sprint sentiment into a magnum nerf thread. Too bad its just wrong.
Sightlines are a result of 343 employing pro players as part of their map designs. Pro players skilled with precision weapons want to have something like the magnum to be very useful. Its not all that useful when there are things in the way to provide cover. This is more catering to the pro community than having anything to do with sprint.
Even so, the AR itself is adventagous in it’s own right. Surprising a sprinter around a corner for example. All H5 weapons are balanced for different engagements. Probably the best balance we’ve seen yet. I guess my advice would be to work on your strafe.
You do realize how hard it is to get 5 shot magnum against a halfway decent player who knows how to time boosts, strafe, and crouch right?
The Magnum is perfectly tuned. (So is basically every weapon in the game)

But when will they remove sprint? And clamber? And thrust? And when will they get rid of the maps that I personally don’t like? And when will they give me a free REQ pack for the server disconnecting me? And etc etc…
Seriously, I wish people would stop whining about the game. They’ve made it now, either play it and enjoy it or go back to an older Halo game.
I would like to see variations of the magnum in Warzone like the sentinel magnum or others
never, that’s when

Must have started with Reach if you are asking for the DMR and having these complaints. The pistol is perfect. The weapon balance in this game is the best in any Halo game. Every weapon is useful in their respective range.
I’d say they are making a lot of improvements to H5 that I love. Forge has been the best one to date, they’re adding maps every month, and they are making new playlists to add in this month. I wish they would have just left Game Day Slayer in as a permanent playlist and just renamed it Social Slayer (because it was perfect!), but oh well. As far as the pistol goes…I wouldn’t enjoy the game anymore if they nerfed it. You would have nothing to defend yourself against a team who gets to the BR, Light Rifle, Carbine, DMR, etc. first. People would complain and they would have to make it BR starts again. So the noobs would complain about that and want the BR nurfed. Just give up on having the game be based around you running all over the map with an AR because that takes away from the team aspect of Halo and it is not how this game was ever supposed to be played. There has never been a Halo where assault weapons beat precision weapons…at least in H5 they actually do work effectively in their intended range. You want to run around with an AR? Then learn to adjust your playstyle and don’t expect to shoot clear across the map with it.

To be fair, DMR SWAT isn’t that bad of an idea.

I dunno. I feel like on some of the maps it’ll just turn into a straight up camp-fest because of the DMR’s range. I hate DMR SWAT. 
i also wonder if anyone else has tried the pistol in H3 and H4 in multiplayer…
was it also 5/6 shots to kill?
hmmm sounds like BR starts have skewed the players perception of weapons
but i can understand the misconceptions because the H2 pistol was garbage as -Yoink-
