They ripped the model straight out of Halo: CE with zero updates. Low polygons and flat textures, the whole nine yards.
Side note: And what’s up with putting Halo 2 BRs on Torque? I wish they would stop putting all these classic weapons on default maps. Put them on a forged map or something instead.
EDIT: Apparently a lot of you don’t understand what I mean when I say the model should have been updated. “It wouldn’t be the CE Magnum anymore if they did that!” No, it would, since the Halo 2 BR received a visual cleanup and nobody’s complaining that it should have been the original low-graphics version. Trust me, your precious nostalgia wouldn’t take a hit if the edges were smoothed out and the details were more lifelike. All they had to do was take the Halo: CE Anniversary magnum (which was actually just the Halo 3 magnum’s model) and change the proportions so that it has a shorter barrel and an extended magazine. That wouldn’t kill your nostalgia, would it? Hell, you’d probably never know the difference and people like me could be satisfied too.

12 shots, 120 max reserve ammo, 3 shot kill, auto fire, Melee gun flip, near original resolutions, the “click-click” noise when switching weapon to pistol, and the spin death animation. The only thing they change is the shot noise, seems off to me.

Update, not change. Keep the design the same but modernize it so it has more detail (like they did with the Halo 2 BR).

They also changed the reload animations and holding posture.
It also doesn’t have any bloom. The original one (in multiplayer) had bloom out the -Yoink- when you fired a couple rounds with the trigger held.
I also don’t understand the need for pandering to nostalgia. The Master Chief Collection was only a year ago. You all should have had your fill with that.

They didn’t modernize the Halo 2 BR, they took that straight out of the anniversary edition which is the same place the CE Magnum came from. Personally I like the old look just like he said its nostalgic! You know from a better Halo time…

…I don’t know who told you Halo 5 isn’t hitscan, but they’re wrong.

Talk to mr Martin about that lol. He may have the best answer for you.
Oh god is this what were going to start nit picking at? Jfc some of you people…but for real i think it looks cool with all the textures and animations there, fact that it’s in the Game at all is really really cool.

They modernized the Halo 2 BR in anniversary, and then ported it to Halo 5. Same thing.
The CE magnum in Halo 5 is not the one from anniversary (because that one is actually taken from Halo 3). It was taken directly from the original game.
Honestly these posts are getting annoying, its a pointless thing to complain about. All because the weapon is low polygons does not mean it hurts the game in anyway. So what you dont get the nostalgia but many players including myself do. Thats my childhood right there and Im happy to have it in my hands again in the current halo.
It also shuts those individuals up saying the Halo 5 pistol is OP when the H1 pistol is waaaayyyy worse.

So you’re upset that they used the actual Halo CE magnum for the Halo CE magnum instead of the Halo 3 magnum?

It does hurt the game. It hurts the aesthetic of the game and the immersion to have novelty weapons.

do you have any idea what hitscan it. The fact that you need to lead your target in any capacity shows how its not hitscan. You dont need to lead your target with the H1 pistol at all. What game have you been playing cause you might not be playing halo 5.
