I mean 36 isn't that much. Why not 50? But my main question is as my thread reads: 36 rounds per magazine for the BR official?

As it stands, yes. And from what I can tell it should remain as such. For balance issues.

I hope so. I mean, It's like the pistol right? In the E3 vid, it took 1-3 shots to bring down a grunt. Like the M6D Pistolio. But the pistol only had 12 rounds. The BR has 3 times that much. And, like the Pistolio, it has a scope. But, even better, it fires 3-shot bursts. So it is a good thing really. But yeah, 50 rounds would be great. But 3 is a factor of 6 so it works out even.

do you think the BR will be unbalanced?

Or maybe 30 or 60.

yes but once you pull the R trigger six times (or fire the Br six times) you have to go through the BS of reloading.

seriously even though I may be a little dissapointed about this 36 rounds thing, which actually I'm starting not to be since people are pointing out these facts and details, the BR is actually going to be one kick ass weapon. I mean its a more accurate version of the assualt rifle with the three shot bursts and its got the old pistol zoom feature in it.

May I point out that the BR can kill in 6-9 shots? Without headshots. I noticed this when that guy who snuk in posted teh BR kill vid. It was 6-9 rounds that killed the elite.

That's very true, so in other words, if it's more accurate it would take less bullets to bring your target down, so yeah, it all works out.... The MA5B had so many rounds because it was inaccurate (i'm not sure if that's a fact, correct me if i'm wrong. =]).

Holy crap! In that case the 36 rounds shouldn't be too bad. I remember it look me sometimes 15 rounds to kill an elite with the AR in Halo.

Alright I'm beginning to understand now. So I see how its "balanced".

Well, see.... There you go! =]

BTW: That's also how the SMG is. The lack of accuracy is made up in the amount of rounds in the clip. ;]

On the weapon it shows 40 by 9.62, Does it not have 40 rounds?

what you guys are faiking to realixe is that you go unzoomed when youre hit meaning that the BR will be really hard to use like the old pistol, making it more balanced

the Br is more like the pistol than you know...

36 rounds, in three shot bursts, equals 12 times to pull the trigger. thats the same number of rounds as the Halo1 pistol...

and also, i think it took at least 9 rounds to kill that guy. it showed six, but it was in the middle of a fight. so 9 makes sense, but then again, with more shields becomign a reality, it may end up taking 12...

so i dont think the BR will be overpowered. its a weaker version of the pistol, and scoped a lot weaker. but it has my favorite good attribute- a good melee attack.

like bungie recently said, its everything you loved about the pistol and everything you would love in a gun. but its not overpowerd.

Hey i was one of the first to find out i posted the 36 rounds along time ago a few months or weeks i told my friends the said thats what they thought. im ok with it i would like 40 rds but o well close enough. and you dont need to pull it zoomed just hold it to fire continuisly. you saw what a clip did to that ghost that gun is killer

yeah 36 rounds is fine. for one thing , the BR is a higher caliber weapon, more accurate scoped weapon. It took down grunts in 1 or 2 shots in the E3 Demo, and can even punch through jackal shields. This is a vast improvement over the AR, which i found to be almost useless in legendary mode. I just hope the MC will be able to carry sufficient ammo. Using the 600 round ammo capacity for the AR, I'm gussing you be able to pack 300- 400 rounds into your bandolier.

You do know that it only punched through the shield because the Bungie employye playing was in god mode right? They made it like that for the demo so that the guy didn't look like an idiot for not being able to kill a Jackal. Meaning in the actual Halo 2 game, the Jackal shields will still be nearly impervious as ever.

Also the MA5B is great on Legendary mode, you just have no real idea on how to use the thing.
