FFFFFFFFFF in MULTIPLAYER.

@Tyrant: You're completely right.

All I know is, besides the desire to use something besides the norm, there really isn't any reason to stray from the pistol in Anniversary editions of the Multiplayer.

it was mostly like that in CE.. though moreso in reach, probably because all of the other weapons are still nerfed as shit. They didn't even bring back 2x zoom on the sniper, which was what made it so damn useful in CE.

I had a bit of fun playing on the new maps. Penance (Damnation) is great for infection. It's fun standing out in the waterfall area while zombies jump out at you. And into the water.

No, you broke it. This was supposed to make Reach's shit multiplayer more fun and instead it did nothing.

I just run through Legendary with an Assault Rifle and a Pistol...like a boss.

everyone bitches because they did


Maybe you guys forgot how unfair that thing is with no lag to complicate matters?

its more fair when the OTHER weapons are restored to their halo 1 settings. 60 round ar, shotgun that can hit things further than 3 feet away, plasma rifle with stun, uncapped firing rate on the plasma pistol, etc...
E: and i havent seen it but did they match the firing rate of the pistol up with halo 1's? if not, theres your problem right there.

@Razer Onza: I've owned two, and the right trigger on both has died within a week of purchase.

my left trigger stopped working too, so i took some canned air to it, and now it works fine. i guess broken triggers are a big problem, but a lot of people have solved the problem by blowing into them... yeah idfk, but it worked vOv

If you think the H1 Pistol is unfair then you have no idea what you're talking about. The Pistol is the definition of fair because everyone spawns with one. All other weapons can be used over the Pistol when appropriate. Run around in an open field with a close quarters weapon like the AR and you'll get what's coming to you for being an idiot.

And the Anniversary MP Pistol isn't even slightly like the H1 Pistol.

I haven't seen anything outstandingly negative said about the graphics. In fact I'm pretty sure everyone in this thread complimented them. Don't get butthurt because a video game got some slight criticism. Nothing is perfect.

Plasma Pistol can do everything the Plasma Rifle can do, and is also more efficient, accurate, and has an overcharge. :guns101:

Yeah the triggers suck, but I basically bought it on impulse the second I saw a real digital d-pad. Fuck d-sticks. Fuck them in the ASS.

Except that even in close quarters the pistol is still better. The problem is one of balance, even if everyone else spawns with one, it is the single weapon that wins in almost every single situation and discourages weapon diversity, barring extreme long range, and ultra close range. Also, the Anniversary MP pistol is very much like the H1 pistol, just a little less godlike, it has more bloom and cannot fire automatically, but beyond that it is the exact same.

Slight criticism!? Are you kidding me? You and most of the people on this forum nit-picked the shit out of every aspect of the damned game, most of which had to do with graphics. Did you forget about the Johnson mustache debate?
