man I just love the meaty sound to the CE assault rifle, never got why Bungie decided to change it in the other games

[A-G-F-]

Fun fact, see those "sparks" coming out of the magnum impacts? Those are the cartadiges exploding, it uses .50 cal SAP-HE amunition, meaning that it is Semi-armor piercing, high explosive

[nabeelbajwa]

most powerful and best assualt rifle and pistol in all of halo!!!!

[Aozolai]

**Notes** First, all footage was recorded on Halo: MCC. Second, I wasn't able to access Halo CE matches in 'theater mode' so I had to use another player as a camera man. Key thing to take away is that both the AR & Magnum have hidden reticle bloom - the faster you fire, the more significant bloom is.

Also, this video does not cover *projectile* vs *hit-scan* weapon mechanics (Halo CE is projectile based).

Until next time Spartans!

At 15 rounds/second, the CE AR fires at 900 rounds/minute, which, if I'm not mistaken, is the exact canonical fire rate of the MA5B. Nice.

[alextapia]

Damn you Aozolai... that outro song is stuck in my head... lol

Good video as always man!

[darthvader]

Plot twist:CE pistol was made by chuck norris.

[mrmelons]

When your younger brother pulls out a magnum in halo ce and ur like: "it's just a pistol change it for another weapon"

[dr.]

Those days when the magnum was overpowered

[TheJedaiHero]

man, watching this really takes me back.
the AR is my fav in Halo:CE.

[muricaneagle]

It’s literally faster to switch to the AR than switching to the Pistol, AR is such a secondary

[pushingbroom]

Cool Vid Aozolai !  I Forgot just how plastic and toy soldier looking the old Spartans used to look. ha, just need to add the plastic base to their feet.  
I'd so love to see Halo5's graphics, mechanics and vehicles/weapons overlaid onto CE.  I think that would be so much fun.

[linkthesloth]

The ce magnum is full auto?
I learn something new everyday

[juanjosemorenoleyva]

I Hope this Halo analysis series continue till all content in halo games is done.

Back with the 60 bullet mag that Was outclased by our lord ce pistol

[zachb]

Don’t get me wrong I love the smg, but I do believe it’s inclusion has come at the cost of the ar. The Ar had 60 bullets, sounded deadly and was deadly. With the inclusion of the smg it’s the exact same except less damage and less meat

[dekuleader]

So according to the vid and some math a did the assault rife is running at 900 rounds a minute or 15 shots a sec. Holy crap, this thing runs like a top and does not stop!

[darrian_xd]

You ever wonder why we're here?

Great video as always.

[ugiustuskeiserus]

Lol, is it really smart link on the weapons back on CE days?

[adrianoss.bougas]

If the Pistol was made into a 4/5shot kill instead of 3 and the Assault Rifle received an accuracy boost. The Halo 1 weapon sandbox remains one of the most balanced iterations. Weapons are powerful!
