Has anyone noticed that there is 36 rounds in a assault rifle instead of 32 rounds since the beta has ended.I was wondering why 343 did that.does anyone know why.
Yeah, just balancing really.
Yes it was first observed at E3 a couple months ago. They stated that the AR was given a larger magazine because the damage and accuracy have been slightly reduced since the beta.
I’m happy with it.; that’s four more bullets I get to plunge into my enemies before I need to reload.

What this guy said.
This. If you are too lazy to click then it basically says originally it was intended for the player to use their melee and grenades to tip the favor of the battle in their direction. And If you want to know why it is now 36 read bellow.

Why couldn’t they just balance it out with the 32 rounds per mag?
Well, I’m sure if they could, it would have been done.
I’m not going to get mad over this, nobody else should either.

I mean they could have technically made every round worth 8/9 of the power, but I really see nothing wrong with changing clip sizes. But, someomes probably going to come along and say that 32 is the iconic clip size and it should return. Im not for either side, I just want an AR that works.

It’s funny, because some people will actually say this! I agree, I simply want an AR that can do something.

Because balancing it around 32 rounds is just as arbitrary as increasing the magazine size.
Numerous Halo weapons have had their magazine sizes changed over the years.
There is no “correct” number. There is no reason for them to try to have 32 bullets over any other clip size.
The AR went from a 16 shot kill weapon (2 kills per mag) to 18. Those two extra shots, while not sounding too major, add more time and need for accuracy in the AR to help balance it. The AR was a wrecking machine in the beta, though at the same time, I dont recall them saying that the damage was lessened.
What happened to 64 rounds?
Who needs thumbs anyway?

No, that’s stupid… Like too stupid to be anything but bonified trolling. If they do, I will be the first to punch them in the arm…
NO THIS IS NOT RIGHT BRING BACK 32!
As I understand it, the damage hasn’t been nerfed, the unshielded x2 headshot multiplier is removed.
As the AR has more bloom influence, ie, it now exists in both unscoped and scoped forms but the scoped taking longer to expand the imprecision, it was found that the 4 extra rounds ended up making large enough difference at range to keep.
The intent of the AR is a fullauto to be used reliably mid-range and back but to not be as effectual in the shorter ranges as the SMG or Storm Rifle. As one has to burst to keep the bullets tight, the addition equates to 1 to maybe 2 bursts.
Against a very strong precision sandbox, allowing 1 to 2 more pepper-shots is said to make the AR just about where it’s intended to be.
In fullauto, it makes a difference of a thought but not the realisation of that thought! And fullauto will only work well when over 50% of the reticle covers a target.

Yes, and I have no problem with it. I mean, it went from 60 to 32 between Halo CE and Halo 3

Nahhh… I’m pretty sure the iconic is 60. 
That’s just four more bullets close to CE.
So now its basically just a full auto BR…
