Every day this week coming into this thread has been like opening an advent calendar. You never know whether it's going to be a sweet surprise or a horrifying close the window as fast as you can creep fest.
Today's toad sphincter surprise is self explanatory. (and oddly probably a good GT)
To fill a role. The pistol's current role is to be a quicker alternative to taking out a weakened opponent than reloading your spent main weapon. It's not really designed to be used on its own.
But if you had to design the pistol to be useful on its own, how would you do it?
Give it a bigger clip.

yea i know but it's peculiar how it was never even top five before but now it is.
Doesn't make it a viable primary weapon. It would be a spammy, inaccurate, luckshow. I thought you guys hated the AR.
When I was a little kid, one of the neighbor boys brought me to his yard to show me a toad he caught. This kid was a real dirty little fucker too. The kid actually picked the toad up by it's front legs and "danced" with it. The toad then blasted piss all over the kid.
Just thought I'd share my toad story.

Pistol is one of my top weapons in Reach. I use it almost exclusively in AR start games. The only thing I'd want to make it better is a bigger clip as right now you can barely pull off a single kill with it. Everything else about it is fine IMO.

Expanded features, and the fact that the division between PES and FIFA has been obliterated.

Am I the only person who think a primary weapon should be able to kill 3 people at least without reloading. The secondary weapon should be able to kill at 2 people. 343i should really consider making things a 4sk. I would prefer 3sk, but i think people would say that is too fast. I think that is one of the best ways to ensure that AA aren't overpowered.

Well 7.3 GB is the installed MP disc. You don't have to install that.
A weapon can fill a role and still be useful and powerful. I don't think a weapon should be designed to only be useful if I run out of ammo with my other weapon and maybe have one weak or no shields player in front of me. That is a useless weapon in my opinion.
An easy improvement to what we are currently looking at in H4 is to simply bump the clip size to 12. It is a 6sk, so you get 2 perfect kills per clip. With only 2 perfect kills per clips and 6 shots to kill, it is without a doubt a secondary to a rifle like the DMR or BR, but at the same time if I find myself in a situation where I'm holding a Magnum, and a couple guys come at me, I actually have a chance to fight them. With what we have now, I may as well just put down my controller and wait for respawn.

terribke idea.i like that it takes a while to kill someone. a camper wont win most of the time and also you have a chance to fight back if they shoot you from behind.
Probably.

There is a big soccer event here in Europe... I am just sayin' it.
There's almost always another primary weapon you can swap out your secondary weapon for. While I agree that occassionally the pistol would be useful if you're in a bind right off the spawn, if its a worthless weapon its alwayst just going to be dropped for a better secondary.
Make it 100% accurate, no bloom, a 6 shot kill with a 18 round clip with very low aim assist and a pretty high RoF.
You do realize that that's how Hard Drive storage is calculated, right?
Gigabytes, Gibibytes, etc.

How do you ask that and then repeat verbatim what another poster said? lol
Why? Most people would be getting 10 or 12 shot kills with it if the Aim Assist is set correctly. Very, very few people would consistently get kills around 6 or 7 shots.
How does BF3 look without the texture pack? I don't think I've seen it running without it.

Thread moves too fast. Sorry lol. Probably shouldn't have said "Only one" since i know there are some good critics in this thread.
Simply too big of a clip. It'd never happen.
Kinda like the Grunt butt.
*sheds single tear*
Never forget. Halo 3--the last time Grunts were vaguely cute.*
*I understand why people would not be threatened by wise-cracking Grunts, but I always found it a great part of why I enjoyed the Halo series in general, and also a great contrast to the Grunts on Legendary, who could rip you full of holes very quickly. Just because they were squat and funny didn't mean you'd be laughing.
spend $1300 on a pc like I did it will solve all your problems and make you better and stronger

I believe Super Slayer has it in the mix as a voting option that can pop up...

I could understand that logic in the past Halo, but these AA extend the life of people already. All you have to do is sprint(I know no longer an AA), use your HLS, or thrust away to survive.

Hah. The 20GB HDDs that shipped with the Xbox 360 Premium launch consoles only had 13.9 GB of user storage (after removing all the preloaded content).

I hope it snows by November 6th in Pittsburgh, I want some snow when I play Halo 4 for the first time and I don't know why.
Yeah, I really don't get why they changed em so freaking much, I love the new armor and head, but I don't get whats going on with the new arms/legs, and especially the feet.
Go on..
Toads like to piss when scared. New Grunts look like toads. Grunts will piss when running away?

Fine, make it a 3 shot kill with a low RoF and a 12 round clip.

Lolipop Chainsaw is a welcome sight in what's been a pretty boring June for video game releases.

Europe makes Fifa special.
Seconded
^^ Really? A bigger clip (magazine) than the main rifles? I'm good with the high ROF though.
Even more unrealistic.
A realistic option would be to do what Yuhas said.

Not great. The HD texture pack is 1.5 GB, you definitely want to have that installed.
What I typed up what something I thought was a realistic that 343 should consider changing for Halo 4.
Ideally I would love 18 round clip like Big Show said, but I know that won't happen, nor is it realistic to get low enough aim assist levels to have a have that great separation of minimum kill time and average kill time.

I thought we were trying to redefine the pistol to make it competitive with the DMR/BR/Carbine?
edit: just caught your new posts. Fuck realistic expectations!

My stomach hurts from all this loling
Don't want to spend an absurd amount of money for a hard drive that isn't made anymore and would still cost a ridiculous amount.
Solution: Buy a 1300 PC when I don't need one.
k.
Seriously, Microsoft. Lower your prices on HD's. AT LEAST THE FUCKING OLD ONES.
Would be pretty funny if some of them did at least.
Also, god damn you guys and your new Grunt hate. They are adorable. Best design thus far, take off your rose-tinted glasses.

Anyone else find it weird the new Grunts seem more of a take on the Halo Wars design rather than the other games?
I like Halo Reach limbs the best, but I think HW has better limbs than 4. Overall Halo 4's design is awesome though.
It would be an amazing wtf moment if it did happen, thats for sure.
As for the new design, Im torn, its not awful by any means, but its limbs are certainly more generic. Those feet really feel like a generic monster rather than the stumpy arthropod inspired limbs of past designs. I kinda wish they kept a little more of the Arthropod influence when it came to the limbs, it certainly would have helped in keeping their identity unique.

I was just thinking specifically for Halo 4, because we know that it is a secondary weapon.
