And dreams were crushed this day.
I think your wrong, it looked like a 4 shot kill to me and you could just be seeing a bad clip were a person who isn’t great with it is playing. On top of that, even if it is a 5 shot kill 343i made it that way for a reason, a.k.a. balancing.
I’m okay with it. It needed nerfed; it was too OP.
This was confirmed a little while ago.

Unless they changed it, Killa KC said it was a 5 shot, and on the conan o’brian show it showed footage of someone getting a fiveshot, and his shields didn’t go down till the fourth shot.
It looked like a 4-shot to me in one video. It was on Haven (formerly known as Wraparound) by some structure on the bottom(?) red spartan get’s downed in 4 shots via the BR.
From the other videos, it looks like the players miss shots because they make mistakes/aren’t that good and/or perhaps the bullet magnetism is being lowered as well to make shots harder to land (like in CE for ex).

They had to make it a 5 shot to cater to the AR wielding tards they’re making the game for.

And laughs were had all around.
Wait… you’re serious.
OP: Number of shots doesn’t matter. Only the kill time.

the AR has been underpowered since Halo 3. Time for a change.
Its confirmed 5 shot kill.
Madness for the entire feel of the game. Slow killing weapons plus tons of stuff to prolong lives.
Can’t understand why they don’t want faster kill times while adding all this stuff to also slow down the game.
From what I’ve heard, the BR is still a great weapon.

From what i saw it is way faster than Reach and on par to as fast as Halo 2.

Its just crushing news. Its just the philosophy behind the design of this game. Crushing. I miss Halo2 kill times so badly.
Crushing news. I may just rent this thing.
It looks like a four shot to me and i counted. 1:03
Even if it was 5 shot, that wasn’t slow like Reach. At all. In fact it looks fast in general.
Also, you see the next Spartan with a red mist around him. This would indicate not only that this is Infinity Slayer (a new, point based slayer gametype) but that he was using an attack boost via personal ordnance drop (and as you can see, his shields dropped fast meaning he’s going to die despite the advantage).
I like what i’ve seen so far, not so sure about a few things like the hardlight shield, shield regen AA, Fire Power package. We can’t know for sure until we get the game in our hands.
The BR is supposedly similar to Pre Patch Halo 2 BR but without the inconsistent netcode or hackers.
“H4 will be the Fastest Halo game yet”- 343
Yeah, I dont know many fast games with minimum 5-shot precision weapons and portable shield abilites(Hard-light shield AA).
Oh well, hopefully the BR doesnt have random spread like the H3 BR and is more like the H2 BR in its accuracy.

I think a teammate from behind was shooting him. Idk, but like you said it still looks fast.

No where near 2.

Anyways, team shotted by what? The walls? There was no additional fire from the sides of the room (which seem to have multiple entry ways to flank). As you see in the video, no bullet lines are seen from those angles, only the front. Clearly, the first red Spartan drops in four shots.
There was only one blue Spartan engaging two Red Spartans. The first one dropped like a fly (four shot kill) and he wasn’t near the grenade in the background(this was intended for his other team mate with the obvious red attack boost). The other team mate comes in after the first one dies with weakened shields (it gets dropped real quick when he enters the room when he engages the blue Spartan).
There was some bullets flying right when the first guy dies but it appears the blue Spartan killed him right before they appeared.
The gameplay looked fast to me and I could have sworn it was mentioned somewhere that, because of feed back from playtesters and forum goers, the BR was changed to 4 shot again.
