Wish the CE pistol was a loadout :(

So I heard that the CE pistol was gonna be a power weapon and not a loadout weapon. What sucks is how you can die basically a little right after you spawn with a power weapon and you drop it and someone else steals it. We all know that the CE pistol is op af but by at least making it a req 5 or 6 to be able to use would be better in my opinion. That’s just what I think, I’m still happy that they’re bringing it back and that I’ll unlock it really soon bc I have literally everything unlocked now but what do you guys think?

It’s called “balance.” It prevents the game from turning into Destiny.

I understand but like I said maybe making it like a level 6 req

The problem with making the M6D a Loadout Weapon is that it literally outclasses every other Loadout Weapon (yes, even the Halo 2 BR). The Halo 2 BR is a Loadout Weapon because it has a nearly-identical TTK as the standard BR. The M6D has the fastest TTK of all non-OHK weapons. Unless it was a level 8 or even 9 Loadout REQ, it simply wouldn’t be balanced.

i just want as a option in forge and custom games

Well you have that so there you go.

That would make sense, like they did with H2 BR

If the HCE pistol was in LoadOuts then:
REQ 8
Reserve ammo: 36
Max ammo: 120? (Not sure if I agree with this for halo 5 but hey it’s fun.)

Now in Destiny there’s still only one or two classes of weapons that you can use in PVP, because all others were nerfed to yoink.

Then all over the place you’d be seeing 3 shots putting you down. No point in carrying a close range weapon other than the M6D

Oh Mighty Thorn… I mean Halo CE Magnum. Lol! I’m glad they brought it back. The death animations are hilarious!

It is too powerful to be a loadout weapon

I find this funny, given how difficult a consistent 3 shot actually was in CE. To people talking about balance, if it were legitimately faithful to the original (projectile instead of hit-scan, minimal magnetism and assist, big reticle with bullets firing dead center, etc) and therefore difficult to use, I don’t think it would be a problem, As compared to the H2 BR which is literally just easier to use than the H5 variant. That said, I haven’t actually used this thing yet.

And this is ignoring the hilarious notion of “balance” in Warzone.

Its almost too powerful to be a power weapon.
