    You can’t rate the h3 sword on the same tier as the h2 sword. H2 sword had: infinite ammo in multiplayer, much further lunge, sword-fly ability AND you could backpack it as it had no delay when you drew it. H3 sword is frequently overlooked and for good reason. It was good for the first few years of h3 but now everyone knows how to counter it.

      Halo 3 was all about that bulltrue medal. Maulers, shotguns, snipers, needlers could all wreck a sword guy charging at you. Plasma grenades can trade 1 for 1 pretty consistently too.

    You have to remember though that the ODST weapons had their stats changed for multiplayer. The Silenced Pistol in MP fires slower but has the literal power of a CE magnum. That thing is S-tier in MP.. The Brute Plasma Rifle can also be duel-wielded in Halo 3 MP and combined with the high fire rate it gets, definately puts it higher than the rating you gave it.

    • @5stargrim
      @5stargrim 3 місяці тому

      I wouldn't call the ODST pistol an S. It's good, but it can't be found on any traditional maps and is only in certain game modes, so pretty much the only possible mode you get it in is fiesta or that one silent mode. In which case it's always an underwhelming weapon to spawn with. Plus it's just objectively worse than the BR, but serves the same role. Great for ODST campaign and firefight, but in MP it just doesn't have the speed and ammo capacity to qualify for an S. At least, in my opinion.

    The AR in Halo 3 is actually a really effective tool in campaign. It tears through brute armor even at medium range. A couple short bursts, then you finish him off with a BR headshot. Works great in my legendary runs! Try out the combo on Sierra 117 or Crow's Nest

  • @witherwolf3316
    @witherwolf3316 6 місяців тому

    Absolutely *love* the ODST pistol. Landing headshots with it on grunts, jackals, and brutes once you've broken through their power armor (a good spray from the SMG followed by a lovetap with the butt of your pistol usually does the trick) is so satisfying. Its tight spread also makes it reliable to hit those shots even at long ranges.
    The underwhelming damage isn't just for the pistol however, all of the UNSC weapons in Halo 3: ODST do 50% damage compared to their Halo 3 counterparts. So as you can imagine weapons like the Assault Rifle and Shotgun are quite pitiful in their overall performance. They forgot to half the damage on Covenant weapons though, which means picking up the odd Carbine halfway through a mission makes it a cakewalk, even on Legendary. Not their best decision but it definitely helped the suppressed SMG and Pistol shine a little bit more.

  • @astridnomics
    @astridnomics 2 роки тому +1

    I really think that the Magnum isn't as awful as a lot of people claim it to be. It just lacks a scope for range and is very heavily overshadowed by the Battle Rifle and the Carbine; it has a similar TTK to both, and on its own it's not the worst. On a side note, the Sentinel Beam is a very easy low B-tier, high C-tier in my opinon, at the very least. It shreds in multiplayer and some parts of Campaign, but the absurd energy consumption holds it back greatly.

    • @xtremevigilante3525

    Covenant Pistol and Battle Rifle are easely SSS tier in Halo 3. The charged shot of the Pistol added to how easy it is to find the weapon makes it absolutely broken you can steal any vehicle or remove any energy armor instantly before switching weapons with a BR for an easy two shot on any enemy in legendary difficulty!

    1. Massive disrespect to the Sentinel Beam. That thing absolutely melts people in multiplayer (Although you can rarely use it, only ever appearing in action sack game modes)
