I think the Halo 3 Magnum may literally be the most useless weapon in any video game. Ever.

So now I have to decide what player pool to put you in.
Scrublords or BKs? Or do I need to create an entirely new pool, just for you?

But you can dual wield it!
It's supposed to be a SIDE-ARM. You spawn with it. The amount of times I've taken someones shields of way in advance of them doing so to me, switch to side-arm (usually AR) realize it's the Magnum, put down controller and wait to respawn
Halo 3 Pistol = sharp knees.
Halo 3 is fucking amazing, useless weapons aside. The Spiker was just as bad if not worse.

My favorite dual wielding combo in Halo 3 was always the plasma rifle/SMG. Plasma rifle for the shields, SMG for the health. I don't think it was the fastest killing combo though.
I actually miss dual wielding.

That was literally the only combo that was good to dual wield right there.

Until what?
Bungie stresses "sidearm" weapons, makes it take 5 seconds to switch weapons, rendering any second weapon, no matter how powerful completely useless.

Didn't mean to excite anyone, I've mentioned it a few times now. Tomorrow is my last day at work before an eight week break.
To bed.

Congrats.
I'm actually going to be off for 6 weeks starting at the end of this week. My current plan is to develop and publish a Windows Phone app in that time.
TO THE BOO BOX!

He should, the weather in the pacific northwest has been downright pathetic. High in the 40's everyday the past two weeks in Pullman before yesterday. 40s. In JUNE.

Daaaamn, two months! I remember you mentioning that before, but still: daaaamn. Hope you enjoy it! Sometimes I feel like long breaks can leave me feeling anxious or bored, especially when I'm used to an intense work schedule. But they can also feel amazingly relaxing and rejuvenating. I have to remember to embrace having nothing in particular to do, and enjoy the slower pace.Ding.

Do you have any cool plans?

Oh Vaycay?
We should meet =0.
I honestly have/had no idea what you were talking about. But I found this gem in the process of researching. lol
A bit of trivia, that's Glenn Close who gets the boo box. Also in the movie is a young Gwyneth Paltrow and Phil Collins.

Whoaaa, the way the haunted mansion music slowly melded in with the movie's music totally freaked me out. I thought I was imagining at first, haha.
Also: Hook is an amazing movie.

Lower the bloom and add four bullets to the magazine, and I'd agree.

I find it very sad that you find that as an acceptable Magnum.

6sk with an 8 mag clip, that is pathetic.

It's Halo 3's's ROF that annoys me.
I wouldn't know, ya jerk!
And yeah I agree, it could use a few more rounds, but I'm seriously okay with the Reach magnum as it is now. Pace your shots, and it kicks so much ass. Beats an AR in close quarters 9/10.
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

My post still stands.
Secondary or no, that is horrible. If primary's get 3 kills per clip, a secondary can get 2. Barely one with a high rate of fire (w/ recoil and bloom), meaning your chances of missing a few shots are pretty high, and it appears the game still have very slow weapon switch times.
Wolf is sad.

As far as I can tell/guess, the ranking system they are using is much like the one I detailed months ago... This is good.

That is good news, although you should consider that you were playing on LAN.
That is good that you enjoyed it more than Reach's Magnum, but the combination of the things I listed make for a pretty damn useless weapon in the large scheme of things, and that's taking into account that it's a secondary.
Wait can you actually do that?
Yes. There's also a specialization that allows you to dual wield rocket launchers.
Ok hold on. I remember hearing that from some MLG kid or something, but where was this confirmed and also does dual wield mean traditional dual wield or just have 2 in your inventory
