♠The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's friend's enemy♠

I don't think their is an accurate answer to that question. I do know that in zoom it's semiautomatic, but not in zoom it's automatic. I don't know if it is better then the pistol, it all matters on oppinion I guess. We'll see hopefully on Nov. 9th.

sure seems like it may have the exact firepower as the pistol when in single fire mode zoomed in, i mean in the video it takes off the ghost's wing in 4 single shots


just wont know until the game is release or they show us more video

Seems more unbalanced than the M6D...maybe the classic should return. Give people a chance. Hell give the Covenant a chance. (C'mon Bungie don't let me down. Bring back all the classics for 'ol times sake.)

I say it is more unbalanced because at close range you have a dealy three round burst while at a distance you have a fast firing semi-auto that is rather accurate from what I can tell. Almost to the point where it is a 36 round M6D.

Of course I expect a lot of flak for that, but too bad.

Apparently, some of the reporters and people from fanfest have said that the Battle Rifle feels much like the pistol... yet different. They also agree that it is more balanced as well.

In general, they say its weaker on a per shot basis but the expanded clip makes it much more useful against vehicles and laying cover fire.

I like that idea. A scoped pistol was always ludicrous to me.
