Who wants the halo 1 pistol as a legendary weapon

Idk I think it would be cool to see this beast come back in one map maybe a halo 1 map that has not been remade. Any thoughts…

Sure. I would love to see that. Halo CE pistol being treated as a on-map power weapon, works for me.

Semi on topic - I also want DMR as a starting weapon in Breakout, remove BR from the maps, and place a single invisibility / overshield (normal shield) in the middle of the map to be fought over. DMR would basically function like the Halo CE pistol, and I think would really give breakout a Halo CE meets Counter Strike Ice World like flavor, but with all the Halo 5 movement flare.

Yeah I just think it would be cool to have it back.

Or take “legendary” weapons out of multiplayer b/c it ruins the game. The Prophet’s Bane is insanely overpowered.

If these items were only in SP then totally, I’ll second the request then.

I would welcome the Halo CE pistol as a legendary weapon. Supply with enough ammo to make at the most 4-5 “perfect kills” and I can see it as a force to be reckoned with, yet not too insanely overpowered.

A power weapon overpowered…

I guess the rocket launcher needs to be a 4 shot kill now guys. This guy got killed by it…

Pretty much this. Additionally, the Prophet’s Bane isn’t overpowered because of its one-hit-kill nature, but that game mechanics compounds its effectiveness to a negative extreme.

To me “Legendary Weapon” is just another moniker for “Power Weapon”. I actually had this idea a long while ago (Halo 1 pistol coming back as a Legendary/Power weapon) but I never brought it up because of how negative and argumentative this forum is.

The Halo CE pistol is good enough to be a Legendary weapon. Although, it’d be better to be like a BR as far as how many are placed on map, but then again, Halo CE’s pistol was basically all you needed. I just hope you can place and use these legendary weapons in Forge and Custom Games. I also want the classic Halo 2/Old Rocket Launcher with Vehicle Lock-On as a Legendary weapon.

I personally think the idea of legendary weapons is kinda lame.

I mean, as far as story is concerned, if I’m to believe that the prophet’s bane is supposed to be Thel Vadam’s personal energy sword, then why are we using it exactly? Even for a war games simulation, it seems kinda odd that someone would go though the trouble of uploading THAT particular sword and not just littering the war games program with them, as we have normal energy swords in other maps. Why would spartan IVs even care?

As far as gameplay is concerned, I’m confused as to how that particular blade causes me to run faster. If I’m expected to beleive it fills me with a drive to cut something, then why doesn’t the normal energy sword? In fact, running faster should be a part of the energy sword anyway, thanks to it being a melee weapon and you kinda gotta close that distance a bit faster if you want to survive and to use it than you would if you were lugging around a rifle.

And if we start the legendary weapon thing, then its just gonna get weird. Who’s weapon will it be each time? Key’s magnum? MC’s AR? Flip-Yap’s plasma pistol? I dunno guys…

Well idk I like the first 2 ideas but idk about a plasma pistol. Unless of its like a btb one were it takes vehicles out longer then usual or something.

The classic rocket launcher should be a legendary weapon. The pistol wouldn’t wirk because it’s design is the default pistol already.

the plasma pistol was clearly a joke.

They are close but not exactly the same. I think it should have more range and power to keep it close to the original halo 1 pistol. Put it on a map resembling bording action or some other unreimagined or remade halo 1 map or maybe a map based on the pillar of autumn and it could be Keyes magnum. Also anybody think of johnsons spartan lazer!!

That would be awesome!!! I agree to this :slight_smile:

That would be awesome!

Yeah I think it would be cool.

Or dual wieldable Palmer’s magnums?

Yeah I thought so but it could be done if it was done right aggressive seaking or something they could make it work but it is very unlikely.

Mind blown!! Why didn’t I think of this?

Halo CE pistol 3 shot kill coming back in grand fashion as a legendary weapon? HELL YES!!

OT: Yes, I think it would create an interesting scene if this were to happen and as you can see, I’m totally for it! However, the Halo CE pistol would have to differentiate from the pistol we have now. This means it has to look unique (maybe keep it look like the original) and clearly be able to tell the difference between the pistols. Awesome idea OP!

Wouldn’t even be good, so why not
