Halo: Reach Discussion

It's just so the AR guy can get an extra round or two in so that the pistol doesn't always trump it (if the AR guy starts first)

[Pooky]

The only change I remember the pistol getting is a slight rate-of-fire decrease.

It was too spammy in the beta anyway, so that actually sounds like a good thing.

Hell, even if they removed the RoF cap altogether on the pistol, it would only work well at range when pacing your shots. At least this means it's not the be-all end-all CQB-spamtastic weapon as well. Lord knows we don't need a Pistol out-classing the already overly-nerfed Shotgun.

I miss my H1 Shotgun...

the need to bring back a shotgun with halo 1's stats honestlyi miss being able to get my opponent from the other side of the room with the shootgun

halo 3's shotgun was just terrible i had to ram it down an enemy's throat to kill anything

A few new screenshots, demonstrating a new Firefight map, wildlife and the fact that somebody can stand on the back of a civilian vehicle with their gun :

Yeah, I remember doing a lot of bitching to you and other people over XBL about how bad the shotgun was in Reach. In Halo 3 it had damage, but no range whatsoever. In Reach it finally got some range, but now it has no damage again like the H2 one. :|

[Arteen]

I loved the shotgun in the Reach beta. I hope they don't change a thing.

[FRain]

You kidding? At a decent distance a shotgun was a one-hit death machine at anything within a 1.5 meter range. You didn't even have to follow up with a melee anymore.

[English Mobster]

Shotgun was pro, at least when I was using it.
On Powerhouse, Shotgun or Pro Pipe were the first things I went to. People all dashed for the hammer, and I could take them out no problem.

[FRain]

Yeah, I got so many bulltrues with the shotgun against the sword.
