Whats with the stupid piece of metal on the magnum?

Its useless, stupid, and makes the magnum an ugly block. Not only does the piece of metal get in the way of the magnums actual sights and make it look bigger than it should they added the scope attachment on the bottom of the gun to double the actual size of the barrel. The magnum is my favorite weapon and they may have fixed its usage but they made it look -blam!-.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Adragalus [url=http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/125/e/2/Halo_Reach_Magnum_by_EnforcedCrowd.png]This[/url] is the Reach magnum. The bit under the barrel is a regular laser sight. It doesn't feature in gameplay, but would be very handy for those without HUDS, like Marines/Army troopers. The part above the barrel, the "hunk of metal" that "blocks the real sights" is a smart-linked 2x magnification scope. In other words, you don't need to look directly into it, because it wirelessly projects the view into your HUD. That's what you see when you zoom in. In short: the piece on the botton looks cool, in my opinion. It makes the gun look less top-heavy. The piece on the top has been there in H1 and H3, the only guns to feature the M6D/M6G magnum. H2 and ODST had different versions of it, hence the different appearances. TL;DR: it's a scope. It has a use, and it's been there since Halo 1. Get over it.[/quote] This man speaks the truth.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] James W 23 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SPARTAN SPIR1T I think it looks better than its ever looked, and that block on the top is the scope its always been there, the bottom part is the new part.[/quote] If the block on the top of the magnum is the scope then why wasn't it there in halo 2 and ODST and the halo 3 magnum had it but had no scope? [/quote] Go look at pictures from Halo: CE it looks almost exactly the same except for the bottom part, they changed the look in Halo2 I don't know why, and it looks the same in Halo3.

[/quote] Because the magnum was connected to your HUD which would creat a magnification zoom similiar to a normal scope.

  • The magnum looks exactly the same as always (excluding the Halo 2 pistol which was crap) but It's always had the bumps in the front, it makes it look unique.

  • [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Grumbledock I think it looks good, but OP should really post some pics and highlight the "problem", and maybe an "nice looking magnum" too so we can compare :)[/quote] Agreed, show a pic.

  • Does it really matter what it looks like? It looks good as it is, if it were like the size of a rocket launcher i would complain but i don't see whats wrong with it. Also what part are you talking about the part above the trigger?

  • They put it there because that is supposed to be the targeting laser that gives you your HUD crosshairs. If you want iron sights go play mw2 and quitcherbellyachin.
