How come 1 beat down followed by 1 BR burst is enough to kill,
but 1 BR burst followed by a beat down is not?

How does that make any sense?

well you know if you shoot some1 they like wtf and then u hit them they like wtf x 2 but when you hit them and then shoot like BxR they have no time to recover form the first wtf so they get triple wtfed so try a double shot and then melee

A BR is capable of a headshot, bypassing any available health once the shield is taken down by the beatdown. The opposite doesn't work due to the fact that the shot/ beatdown tactic does not take advantage of this.

I think it has something to do with effectiveness against shielded guys and unshielded guys. When you shoot a guy first, their shields are still high enough for them to take the bash; the bash removes the shield but doesn't 'headshot' them. A bash followed by a shot, though, would only kill if it is to the head because the shot removes the remaining shield and deals the headshot..

Edit: you beat me too it :D

That's stupid-
but you're right
alien guns are effective against shelds/not health
and humans the opposite.
I forgot the most basic element of the game.

Inconsistant 2 is the name of this game. Anyone who works for Bungie could NEVER get a job at EA and work on Madden.
