[MrSniper19]

sweeeeeeeeetness

 

[SPARTAN 033]

they put the scope back on the pistol?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

 

[Sean Bradley]

It's not the same as the Halo 1 pistol if thats what you're thinking... it doesn't have that amazing range anymore...

 

[Kiltmanfortytwo]

I loved the H1 pistol, they should have brought it back

 

[Ironcobra3000]

you can dual wield them now, and since the power is in between the H1 Pistol and the H2 Magnum, if you dual wield them, it'll be the power of an H1 pistol ;-)

 

[Kiltmanfortytwo]

wait, you an dual wield scoped pistols?

Interesting...

Chris

 

[Ironcobra3000]

no no, the H3 pistols dont have scopes, but if you dual wield them, they are as powerful of an H1 Pistol

 

[Spartan104]

Nice. :shock: awesome :wowie: Godly :whoa2:

 

[Dootuz]

I loved the H1 pistol, they should have brought it back

 

[Kiltmanfortytwo]

The update said they have a smartlink, isn't that the scope system?

Chris

 

[Sean Bradley]

Nah, the smartlink is the connection to the HUD.. :Steve:

 

[Kiltmanfortytwo]

I qoute bungie directly

Description:
The M6 series are recoil-operated and magazine-fed. The ‘B’ and ‘D’ variants are issued with the smart-linked KFA-2 x2 scope. It fires 12.7mm x 30 semi-armor-piercing high-explosive ammunition (standard issue). M6 series handguns are issued in three different finishes: hard chrome, black polymer, and electroless nickel.

It does have a scope.

 

[TheBlue]

That means its M6D or M6B has a scope, not M6G, which is the pistol in H3.

;-)

 

[Sean Bradley]

It's not the same as the Halo 1 pistol if thats what you're thinking... it doesn't have that amazing range anymore...

I quote from me directly. :mrgreen:

Thats a 2x scope.... nothing too fancy... it's not the mini sniper that it used to be.

I still think that 'smart-link' refers to the connection to the HUD. This is the simple HUD enabled 2x zoom, like you have when you aren't carrying a scoped weapon..

Least thats how it played in the Custom Game sin the Beta.

 

[Kiltmanfortytwo]

I thought the pistol in 1 had 2x zoom as well?

 

[Sean Bradley]

I think it did... but I was wrong about the 2x on the H3 scope... I think.. :$ops:

From Halopedia, listed under Halo 3 UNSC weapons:

It is a good weapon on its own and is somewhat similar to the M6D from Halo: Combat Evolved, but with a less power per shot, a slower rate of fire, no scope, and slightly less range. The M6G has increased accuracy and per-hit damage as compared to the M6C Magnum, but it has a much slower rate of fire. Just like the M6D and the M6C Magnum, the M6G will kill any unshielded enemy in a single headshot..

Thats funny... they say no scope.. but the Bungie Weapon update says it's back..

i trust bungie over halopedia.
