So, the DMR has 14 bullets and is a 5 shot kill. 2.8 kills, potentially.
BR, 36 bullets, 15 shot kill, 2.4 kills, potentially.
AR? 32 shot clip, and I just heard it’s a 16 shot kill so 2.0 kills, POTENTIALLY. That potential is pretty damn low >.>
DMR and BR users can go at a crowd for a while while the AR users are left reloading. Rise up, my brethren!
I miss the good ol’ Halo CE AR with its 60-round magazine.
AR is 16 shots to kill, so exactly 2 kills if you land EVERY shot (which is damn-near impossible).
With that amount of power, i think the clip size is fine. I usually pair the AR with a Magnum when it comes to reloading and finishing off kills for some multi-medals.
For some reason in Halo 4, doing just that feels incredibly satisfying. As it was stated in a couple MW tutorials already “Switch to your pistol! It’s faster than reloading!”

That’s the thing: It’s basically a NECESSITY to complement the AR with a pistol or something. The DMR, BR, Carb, LR, don’t need that too much.
I use it and have no problem.

Isn’t AR+Pistol grounded in classic Halo anyways? That’s why i don’t see it as much of an issue. Plus with Dexterity and the lenient timing of the multi kills in Halo 4, i think that also makes multi kills with the AR easier too.
Still, if you think it needs a buff i won’t argue to change your mind. I just wish we had some way to test -Yoink- out you know?
If you asked me in Reach, I would have said yes. But now, I don’t have any problem with running out of ammo before a kill with the AR. I think the true downfall of the AR is its ineffectiveness at mid range, despite being labeled as a “close to mid-range weapon”. I think the AR would benefit most from faster bloom regen, promoting burst fire.
I love taking dexterity with my AR

This.
Would prefer a stronger mid range than a larger magazine.
