Wtf happened?
It just takes an extra shot now. It still dominates, it’s just balanced for Halo 4’s sandbox.
Halo is now defined by its long kill times apparently.

Woa a whole half second, halo is ruined!!!

I don’t even have the time…
It’s not the fact that it takes another half a second, it’s just that the DMR has decreased bloom, meaning that a 5 shot kill with that will be way faster than a BR…
Unless they’ve bumped that up to 6 shots -__-

^Haha
To be honest, you drop like a damn fly in Halo 4 from what I’ve seen. So much faster than Reach.

It depends on the range really. According to players and what I’ve seen, the BR will destroy the DMR at close to medium distances. People were going down pretty fast.

What was it defined by before?
and really? You call that long?
Waypoint weather is so fickle. I was expecting CTF hate-storms until the next big infodump, but here’s a light 4SK BR shower. Thought people got bored of complaining and moved on 
Wicked old news. The BR makes a lot more sense being 5-shot now that the sandbox is pretty much stronger all-around. Plus, the BR has hitscan, so it’s easier to use than it was in Halo 3 (most likely).

Have you seen any of the gameplay videos from pax? 5 shots or not the kill times are so much faster than reach.
Halo Council did a vid comparing BR/DMR/Carbine/Light rifle Kill times… 1.8 secs all-around (except LR scoped)…
The BR’s just been demoted to an inaccurate DMR. It was only put in to trick nostalgic players.
It’s all about that balance. If the 5 shot works then it doesn’t bother me. The only time I’ll argue it is if the 5SK turns out to be unbalanced against the other rifles. Other than that it seems to do the job pretty well from what I’ve seen.

Top rated comment “I butter because toast” in reply to “I like the Carabine because shot faster.”
As for the OP, it doesn’t bother me that the BR is now a 5 shot kill. From the gameplay I’ve seen, you die really fast a la Halo 3 style anyway. Much faster than in Reach.

Actually I think it’s a little over 0.3 seconds. D:
/Sarcasm
> Halo is now defined by its long kill times apparently.
It kills in 1.6 seconds same as DMR and I think carbine. Light rifle kills in 1.3 scoped and 1.8 unscoped. Those takes soooo long
Again sarcasm.
The sarcasm in this thread is extremely orgasmic. Just saying :P.
