BR 5-Shot?

I have been hearing a lot of talk recently about the BR being a 5-shot kill in Halo 4. Everyone seems to be saying it as though it’s a fact, but I still haven’t heard it from 343 themselves. Can anyone provide me with proof? I just find it hard to believe and I’d like to hear directly from the developers before I do believe.

There’s nothing wrong with a 5-shot BR but this forum has been plagued by a lot of rumor and speculation being treated as fact in the past few weeks. Just trying to get the truth.

all the MLG players say it’s currently 5sk, and everytime I hear that, something dies inside of me :’(

This although deep down I’m hoping they’re still tunning it and we’ll see a classic 4sk BR in the future

Then the DMR will need to be a five shot kill or it’d be rendered useless.

OT: It was confirmed in a bulletin a few months back, I think. Well it was confirmed by 343i anyway.

Praying every night!

As much faith as I put in MLG players’ opinions, I’m really going to need either video proof or a statement from 343 before I believe this. It just seems like too much of a fundamental change. I support it if it’s in the name of balance, but I would rather not change something so classic and representative of Halo multiplayer.
