you missed the halo reach beta verstion a close range murder machine, on of the best in the series, they debuffed it and buffed the dmr. but it was so fun to use.

If i recall it was because they're exposed area counted as a head hitbox. Since enemies die in one shot to the head it functions the same way.

said the magnum in halo CE was not perfect..... so i turned off video, disliked, and then reported for spewing hate speech.
For real, that gun is about as strong as the DMR.
@BioDefault Saying even that is an insult to how good the CE Pistol was.
BioDefault The DMR is not a 3 headshot kill. Don’t even compare it to the greatness that it is
BioDefault the only thing that’s comparable is the accuracy of them. DMR has better range and Magnum has better dps and fire rate
BioDefault for real tho this gun is why I stoped playing CE multiplayer, like oh dw we nerfed it now it’s only a 3 head shot kill with a fucking pistol. And everyone either uses it or gets killed by it. I don’t know what matches my dude in the vid was getting but I have never seen a shotgun player kill a magnum player, been on both sides of that encounter and a good magnum user can land the 3 shots before the shotgun can even be cocked a second time. Gun is definitely one of the most unbalanced weapons in any multiplayer. Right up there with the noob tube and one man army combo.
Mic sounds great!

Just as a fyi. Bungie compiled all the files that make up halo ce (also known as TAGS) together on a per map basis not as a shared system. The reason the magnum is so good in multiplayer is because one of the devs decided it needed to be stronger and changed the values in the weapon tag without anyone knowing just before the final compliling of the multiplayer maps. Singleplayer already having been compiled by that time was unaffected by the change thus why the difference in the original xbox version. The reason the MCC port retains the overpowered multiplayer settings was that when bungie handed over the files to gearbox interactive, so that they could create the pc port, the tag file for the magnum contained the edited numbers. Therefore when they recompiled the campaign for pc it was no longer different. The reason this is relevant is because 343 used the pc version to port onto the xbone for mcc that is also why the aiming feels weird compared to original xbox, its because gearbox edited a ton of the weapon files to work better with the highly accurate mouse and keyboard controls and therefore you have less bullet and reticule magnetisim across the board due to not needing it with the high precision of mouse and keyboard.
no shit pal, aiming on PC is a lots better
Blox117 depends on the game and situation, a sniper or ranged weapon might be better, but generally in halo its more fun with a controller, its more of an advantage if you have a keyboard because of the twitchiness and accuracy, but most of the time controllers are better, unless of course your playing an rts or strategy type game..
PS:
Your still an asshole here just as much as the other threads.
I know your comment is a year old. But holy shit, while I knew about the magnum values and gearboxs graphics fuck ups for the halo ce port.
I never knew about the aiming changes they did, and it explains why I love my og halo ce copy more than mcc. I always felt like aiming was awful on mcc ce but I could never figure out why and thought I was crazy or something!
I really wish they would re-edit mcc ce with the original code and not the shitty af Gearbox port
117 likes nice
If it sounds like im trying to talk quieter than usual, its because im testing my new Mic and getting used to its sensitivities

LateNightGaming-VideoGame Coms & Entertainment I love magnum and every weapon in halo.
Thanks for the clarification. I like your more emphasized voice much better
I'm curious on what'll be said about the other UNSC weapons in Halo through the years through other videos, if you'll be doing more that is.
M6C Magnum is still my absolute favorite. Such a satisfying weapon to use. It might not be the most useful, but I just love it
Do an assault rifle video cause I swear they screwed it up in cea, it just doesn't feel right
I feel like they're really bringing back the soul of the magnum with the sidekick in Halo Infinite. It's a jack of all trades, quick to use, and reliable weapon to have with you. Sure it's not the same gun, but it's similar in spirit.
The sidekick is great, and really satisfying to use
Striker Sidekick is pretty cool. I like it just as much as i like the magnum.
what i feel they did was split the magnum between the mangler and sidekick, while the sidekick has the speed, reliability, and is a jack of all trades like the magnum was, the mangler has its power and precision, and i think that was really smart of 343
That’s what truly matters in the end.
The only issue was the ammo capacity

The only reason people call it op in CE is because it looks like a pistol. Take that away and it's the CE equivalent of the battle rifle

They call the CE magnum OP, I call other series' pistols *_peashooters._*

I want an assault rifle with the sound effects and the magazine size of Halo CE while having the looks and damage of Halo 4.
If I was a spartan the same rank and age as the chief, I would’ve carried the CE magnum in every campaign and mission I took part in from CE all the way to 4.
The Combat Evolved Shotgun also has an empty reload animation.

Also point about the ODST Magnum: It's accuracy is SO MUCH better than the Carbine's. You probably don't notice it on lower difficulties, but on Legendary and especially LASO it's a chore to use the Carbine compared to the Magnum.
So that's why Halo 3 has gameplay that's more wonky and inconsistent than the voice actors for Truth and Miranda.
I love local matches but I never play online.
Can’t ever find anybody to just buddy up for the campaign, but that’s probably because peer-to-peer is garbage
Magnum Evolution in my experience
CE: Handgun of Christ
2: Horrible
Gearbox CE: Dunno, never used it because I never got the chance.
3: Not as bad as 2 but not that great because its aim feels weird and it’s fire rate is slow., also missing the scope.
ODST: Awesome, easily 2nd best in my opinion. Fires fast, is accurate, sounds cool, looks nice.
Reach: Great, looks good, fires fast, and is consistent with its accuracy if you know what your doing.
4: Good, looks a little weird because it’s missing some of its iconic features and it’s ammo capacity is pitiful as for most weapons in Halo 4.
Halo 2 Anniversary: Horrible. Still.
5: (Regular Magnum) Pretty good, reliable and works well, but looks meh, missing its iconic features still.
5: (Gunfighter Magnum) Good, fast and resembles a Colt .45
5: (Tactical Magnum) Nice. Like it, good little callback to the ODST Pistol but lacks iconic features as all standard magnums in Halo 5.
5 (Whispering Truth) Dunno, never really used it.
5: (CE Legendary Version) Handgun of Christ and then some, but severely lacks in ammo capacity.
All in all, favorite version is the Halo 5 CE Magnum, but if I had to pick on to rely on more commonly it would be the original CE Magnum because it’s ammo capacity is a lot higher, able to hold 120 extra rounds.
Isn't the ODST pistol and the Halo 2 pistol the same?
ODST pistol has a scope, whereas the Halo 2 pistol doesn't. Also has slightly more ammo.
David Salisbury
And it has a higher damage output I’m pretty sure.
@@halopro8958 Yeah. Unfortunately they both have such poor damage unless it's a headshot.
Odst's was shit it's accuracy is shit even if shoot it slowly and h2A is good in infection
2:22 You did not just get betrayed once you picked up that shotgun... in 2019?
I think he did 🙁
If he didn’t, I wouldn’t believe he’s playing halo CE
The halo 2 magnum truly was a average marine’s sidearm that belonged in its holster. And yet, it’s the magnum that my introduction to HALO started with. And my 8 yr old self loved to dual wield them on Cairo.
Can you do a Halo assault rifle series analysis?
I now absolutely adore the Halo 2 Anniversary version as it feels like a nice combination of Halo 4 and Reach’s versions with a hint of Halo 3.
When did they add the assault rifle to halo 2?
ShrimpKraken
It’s only available within the Halo 2 Anniversary multiplayer.
🎵🎶 All I want for Christmas is for you do a video on the shotgun 🎵🎶
I honestly really liked the halo 2 magnum. Not because of how I preformed but because of its appearance. It went from a weapon designed for tour average 7ft super soldier to a charming sidearm that your average human would have able to utilize without shattering ever bone in their hand.
CE magnum has always been a fond friend of mine. I remember headshoting a friend of mine in a scorpion across blood gulch and winning the match. It sounds unbelievable but shit, I know what happened it was awesome. Halo 2 it was a great combo weapon with the smg but damn, saying it was essentially useless is un called for. Sure the battle rifle did a better job but if you played fast and dangerous especially legendary it pulled its weight
“Though there aren’t any skeletons, so it’s not that spooky”😂😂😂
ODST magnum is underrated
even calling it a magnum is overrated
Folor Bipple what would you call it?
Halo 5 has one of the best magnums, can’t deny it
The Halo CE Shotgun also has unique reload animation after firing it empty

8:24
I've never noticed the Korean letters on top of the slide, this is quite literally the first time I ever noticed that!
What's the story behind that?
That’s not Korean. That’s a number.
A couple of the markings (also on the CE and H2 magnum) are translated to the number 7. Which is obviously a reference to bungees love for the number. Canonically though, I do think a lot of the weapons and some of the armors have their origins in Korea and Japan
Halo 5: does something

Yeah that might not be good

@@LateNightHalo bro i can give you my points of view in a video if you want like we can discuss it if you wanna make a video about it. No hate we both love Halo :)
"where it be big or small or *unintelligible*..."
I remember there being a part in the novelization of CE where Chief was sniping Covenant with the magnum just because it had a scope.
Pov: you never played halo but this gun just got added to destiny and you're wondering what's up
I remember a joke I made with my friend a few years ago
"The gun pointed at the head of the universe"
"And its my pistol"
I'm feeling the crisp new mic, but also noticing the hush-hush voice. Needs some tweaking, but I like it so far.

Magnum 2: Let Down Boogaloo
Yep, the Halo 2 pistol sucks, I rarely ever even bother picking it up and just stick to the SMG as a sidearm (I still have an original Halo 2 Vista disk and the game is installed on one of my computers, my "black tower", as I call it, is still running Windows 7 and it hasn't let me down yet).
It actually was quite powerful in multiplayer pre major patch, which heavily buffed frags and BR while nerfing the magnum, solidifying the "nothing other than BR" meta everyone knows today.
There's actually a third magnum in Reach, The Anniversary Magnum. Found in anniversary game modes.
I don't know why but I read your comment as "there's a magnum in the third Reich"
That's just the Reach Magnum, just with the same damage levels as the original CE Magnum
@@gavichealsomething2169 There is more than that. It has a much slower firerate unless you hold down the fire button which will cause it to shoot constantly like in CE.
@@purplepeak8575 it's still not a new Magnum
@@gavichealsomething2169 The same can be said about the zero bloom magnum.
The ODST pistol is actually really good. While it can't take down shields, its accuracy is amazing, which makes it great for noob combos.
I hate that everyone dismisses the H2 pistol. I love just fucking ramping that thing in MP
I personally like the halo 2 magnum more than the halo 3 one.
*FIGHT ME*
Same, I love the fast fire rate of the Halo 2 magnum compared to the Halo 3 version.
>FIGHT ME
Wouldn't even be a challenge, since you're bringing the Halo 2 pistol to battle.
Only thing I like about the Halo 2 Pistol is it’s hilariously fast fire rate. Everything else about it sucks.
If they made the h2 mag take like 3 less headshots it would be dope
Tbh everytime I played infection on a h2a it was op might be because of the game type.
13:17
"That it d-d.... didn't"
Nobody else notice that?
His "I'm not begging, I swear" gets me every single time.
10:40 - They focus on THOSE items because they are MORE dynamic, and SERVER PREDICTION is harder to use for them. It's easier to predict a bullet, than a bouncing grenade.
The sniper, rocket, and rigid bodies (cones, barrels, fusion coils, anything that moves via physics) likely causes much more network chatter and priority than other elements.
They also did this to allocate precious server resources (game was built around p2p --which I prefer as the game can't be shut down in the future-- and not dedicated servers) as the xbox 360 could only process so much without performance hiccups. It takes A LOT of cpu to verify player data, projectiles, rigid bodies in motion, etc to prevent movement hacks that halo 2 had en masse. MS has kind of given up on xbox 360, so h3 now is riddled with cheaters online.
The network code wouldn't "freak out," it would just move these dynamic elements (non-projectiles) to the "front" of each line of objects to be updated each game loop, and if they couldn't get to the end of the "queue," the items that were missed would be given a "bump" to their priority so they'd be more likely to be updated in future game loops (as each frame loop had an allocated amount of time it could run to maintain a healthy FPS). The dynamic items had such a high priority that it'd take multiple game loops to update projectiles before their priority was higher than dynamic items in high action situations. Most of the time this was fine, as server prediction would handle a lot of the projectiles, but with latency, network issues, and other variables, it could miss-judge data and you'd get oddities.
I'm no fan of Halo 4 or 5 in terms of art style or gameplay but man... that Halo 5 Magnum is pretty sexy, it's sleek and well proportioned unlike the Halo 4 Magnum which in my opinion is repulsive to look at haha
Is Evolution of Halo's Assault Rifle coming? :D Wouldn't mind seeing an analytic video for most Halo's weapons and vehicles
I mean at least halo tries to blend the modern and old artstyles non like halo 4 ( man i hated halo 4)
I loved the ODST magnum. I got to where I could easily kill across the map with it. I got all the sniping achievements in the game with it. I beat the game with the magnum as my main weapon. Only thing I couldn't take down with it is Hunters. Had a rocket launcher for those and vehicles.
1:02 the shotgun has a unique reload after firing all the shells

Edit: he changed the thumbnail :(
Aw man
Personally I really like the Halo 2/3 ODST version of the Magnum as it felt nice to use
Can't wait to see the revised video so I can hear you talk about the Sidekick and the Forerunner
This stuff was my childhood and adolescence. Love it. Subbed.
My favorite Magnums are either the Halo CE Magnum for being so god damn strong or for the Halo 5 basic version, because it feels snappy, fast yet has quiet the punch to it. It really is a tie, because the sandboxes are so vastly different.
I would like to suggest the next big thing in terms of firearms from Halo : The Rocketlauncher. Now this is a weapon that would fit into a different category of reasons why you would use it and I am quiet interested what your takes are on that gun, especially since with almost each iteration of Halo, a new competitor would arrive from Fuel Rod cannon to Spartan Laser.
With that being said, I would like to give some minor constructive criticsm. I notice that with this video, you kinda make a similar sort of video reminiscant of the documentry styled videos of the Legendary Ahoy does with his takes on talking about firearms from both in and outside the realm of video games. In his style he goes fullblown documentary on every video, making you believe this was done on the Discovery Channel, highly professional. My minor criticsm is just that in your approach, you sometimes say phrases like " guard-thing" at 17:43 to describe the appearance of the gun. Most of the video feels proffesional with the occational meme tossed in there which is perfectly fine. Its just that minor way you described the gun that took me out of the nearly immersive , documentary talk about all those magnums in the history of Halo. IF you plan to do more of these videos with an intent to make them feel like a documentary , please consider avoiding such wording. That would increase the value so much more of these particular videos. Other than that, this was very entertaining and educational. I wasn't aware of the major differences of the CE Magnum on the OG Xbox vs the PC Port!
ODST version of the magnum reincarnated in Halo 5 is my fav.
8:40 - I loved that map,the way the flood would slowly spread and take over as you played.
Halo 2 Magnum had so much potential in concept, needed a bigger mag and a slight accuracy and damage boost. Would have been so good to have a headshot close/medium range weapon that can fire as fast as you can pull the trigger.
some criticism: while i really enjoy your videos, your topics and how you engage an actual discussion, your audio files have always seemed kinda off to me. at least lately.
most of the times the volume is very low and the voice file seems chopped up at points.(3:44)
(5:05) maybe try to just re-record some lines and speak a little bit louder in general.
other than that i enjoyed this video once again, stay safe my dude!
Anonymes Arschgesicht thank you for the feedback dude! Would it help if the video as a whole was louder or specifically my voice being raised while the music stays the same?

This broken gearbox port is the game that got me into halo thank you very much.
and i still love that lil game till this day.
Back in highschool i had a computer class my senior year. Teacher was really chill, and she let us play games on the pc’s. Someone brought in Halo CE on a flash drive, and from then on we wpuld LAN every day. The magnum was my go to. Sniping people out of warthogs on blood gulch is one of the fondest memories i have of those days. CE will never get old
My friend: why you reload of after shooting one bullet
Me: ITS THE LAW
Halo:Whoops, I dropped my MULTIPLAYER VALUE PATCH for my MAGNUM RIFLE
There was a point on XBL H2 where the pistol killed in 6 or 7 shots, dual-wielding was actually BEAST because of the fire rate. It was later patched to the 13 shot kill, but man it was fun while it lasted.
Whispered Truth is probably my favorite gun in the *series*. It's just so satisfying to use.
I do agree that H5 has some serious sandbox issues but REQ weapons especially in Forge are so much fun to create different matchups with.
Halo reach's magnum I consider one of my favorite gun's in a shooter. I adore the magnum in every Halo game besides 3, screw the Halo 3 magnum, even the Halo 2 magnum was kinda fun
A thing that almost every halo player does:
Running around punching the air when there are no enemies to kill
Indeed. It's my favourite pastime! Lol! : )
This video is great. And every time I watch it, I think of my magnum prop I got at NYCC
As soon as that Reach music started I got goosebumps ❤️
In no particular order.
REACH, 4, 5, CE.
When everyone thinks Halo 2 has the worst Magnum.
When it's actualy....
Halo 3's
At least you don't have to reload with 3's to get a kill lol
@@sillentgamer64
Yeah!
At least i don't have to wait 3 seconds between every shot...
I can empty the magazine reload and empty it again...
While at the same time with the H3's magnum only 4 bullets have left the gun
The halo 2 magnum was great against the flood, and the fire was great, better than 3s imo
@@SPNKr02 Yeah but my point was in multiplayer it takes more shots to kill with the H2 magnum than what's in the clip, which means you have to reload at least once or dual wield to get a kill. H3's Magnum kills in 5 shots, so you dont have to reload or dual wield just to kill with it. Obviously the pistol in both games is more viable in campaign when you have enemies like grunts and flood that die in 1 headshot.
Agreed
The magnum is still one of my favourite guns in gaming.
I own the BoomCo magnum and love it. Wish I had a Halo CE one, but we’ll work towards it
Anecdotally, I was a player who discovered that magic rhythm that the magnum needed in order to main the weapon at anything other than melee range. It was *just* shy of the DMR's max rate of fire, and *only* just. But my finger got used to that rhythm, and god damn was that the most fun I've had with that game. It was a lot more satisfying to me to use the magnum in that way, and I even managed to win a surprising amount of duels with DMR users who just spammed their shots.
And this might just be me, but when I first started maining the magnum, barely anyone used it. After a long while of playing, I took a break, then I came back and saw that a lot of people were just using it to open their fights, and it made me wonder if I had started a trend or not.
I must be odd cuz I’d always look for the magnum in Halo 2 lol
13:03 were you also invited to 343 and knew about Reach coming to Halo MCC this whole time? hmmm.
Thank you, finally someone who understands the Halo 1 pistol and Halo 1's weapon balancing.
5:45 I only used the dual wielding feature in the campaign to push up on enemies.
Does anyone else miss how snipers and magnums could one shot hunters?
