i think they just added a scope.

Having a scope on the Assalt rifle would be pointless. You'll get your machine gun back in Halo 2 as a dual wieldable SMG.

The M6D pistol fires 50.caliber HE rounds the battle rifle fires less powerful rounds but has better rate of fire so no the BR wont kill in 3-shots. Speaking of which imagine the Halo 1 pistol with 3x the ammo and rate of fire and to think people complained about the Halo 1 pistol!

The M6D does NOT fire HE (High Explosive) rounds.

[The bullets my be large in radius, but rifle rounds are still longer length-wise and can more easily penetrate armor.

The proably have about the same length. The M6D was a magnum, which means it fires long shells thats part of how it had so much power.

How do I know what calibur the rounds are? I am going to round off. We know from Halo the M6D fires 12 mm rounds. And from this picture we see that the BR fires 9 mm rounds (caution webmaster may be sobering up).

Actually, the BR fired 9.5mm
However, you obviously dont know how ammunition works.
Heres an example:

M6D round length: (---]
M6D round width: (----)
------------------------------------
BR round length: <----------]
BR round width: (---)

not even close to the pistols strength i dont even think three shots from the BR will take down the sheild


What the hell?
Why would a Rifle be weaker than a pistol.
If anything ,it will be stronger.


each individual shot should be waker the n the pistol's


I find that hard to believe.


the pistol id too stron as it is. why would they make a gun that shoots the same powered rounds 17256 times as fast?

There was no "glitch" in the E3 demo.

12.5 M6D vs 9.25 (I think, its on the screen shot of MC on the beach with the ODST, who I'd like to play as in MultiPlayer, Marines are hardcore)

What you guys are forgetting is the new armor MC gets. The Sheilds strength could go up as much as 50%, probably forcing 4 head shots to kill (the third leaving about as much as two pistol shots), about 7 in the body, one in the head will probably kill with no sheilds.

So long as Grenades explode, I dont care how much damage the Guns do.

No. It was intentional so the guy playing the demo doesn't waste five minutes trying to kill a couple of well placed Jackels. They will most likely bounce off like any other bullets.

B rilfe will fire faster, less damage,more rounds in the clips, same accuracy.(i think)

8 headshots to kill.
12 body shots to kill.
Sounds about right.

You misunderstood what I was taliking about the round is longer as you state. I however was discussing the length of the shell, how much powder is int it. The M6D is a magnum meaning it has extra length for more powder.
