gee I can’t wait for another 4-5 months for another TU-that-will-fix-absolutely-nothing.
guys, it’s over, and lets be realistic. 343i is already working on Halo 5. making MS’s next flagship game which also has to be a launch title for the durango means they have to dedicate their entire studio to it to meet the deadline and be able to overcome whatever problems comes up.
all these map packs they’re churning out? they were cut out of the disk. they existed before the game was even released.

Sounds like your the one that is Rambling to me and its very entertaining , And you did reply =) I never said it was balanced, I never said it was OP, All I said was " The ÐMR is Fine. " Lmao !!!
At low (invisible) trueskill levels the DMR is not overpowering but as soon as everyone in the game is atleast decent there’s no reason to use anyother weapon.
Probable: the best way to balance all the rifles (AR, light, BR, carbine, and DMR) is to have them do the same damage as a BR. All equal I think… possibly.

People who use the DMR aren’t just noobs there stupid as all hell
I believe that the dmr is fine as it is, because if it was nerfed than people will probably just rip on the second strongest rifle, and so on. I like the dmr, but I use all four loudout rifles and the dmr doesnt need a nerf. It just needs to be used less.

The DMR shouldn’t even be in this garbage -Yoink- game. The thing was an antique in Reach, a prequel to the original trilogy. It was succeeded by the BR.
… and then all a sudden DMR’s are laying around the Forward Unto Dawn drifting just beyond Requiem?

So would I but the it’s lack of range and the LR’s lack of ammo leave me with no choice but to use the DMR in playlists like BTB. I can’t stand the DMR and wish 343 had just junked it.

funny beacuse it seems that you have spent more time playing against the Covenant and Forerunners in SPOPS than actual players oh and you love rockets dont you? When you spend more time on matchmaking and actually try to counter the DMR with a carbine,BR or LightRifle and actually win the duels come back and tell us about it because right now I cannot take your post serioulsy.

"You’ll notice that Rockets also spawn just outside “Entry B” on this map – be sure to yoink those at the start. They’re important.
My personal favorite loadout on this map is:
• Starting Weapon: DMR
• Secondary: Magnum
• Grenades: 2x Frag
• Armor Ability: Jet Pack
• Tactical Mod: Mobility
• Support Mod: Ammo
"
Hmmm so I wonder what we can deduce from this… That the designers of the -Yoinking!- maps choose DMR each time. How can you deny its OP when the makers of the game cant play with anything ele but DMR?

Can’t play with anything else but the DMR? Perhaps, just maybe, it has nothing to do with their skill with the other guns, and they just choose to use the DMR.

Or maybe its because everyother loadout rifle is inferior
> They had better not nerf the DMR. I hate the Battle Rifle with a burning passion and I refuse to use any loadout precision weapon other than the DMR.

Honestly, why are people like you on the forums here? You flame and attack other people because of their opinions. Thats not right and thats against the rules. Just because your opinion is different from another’s does not mean you should be able to call others “idiots” for they have different beliefs. You’re so -Yoinking- immature! You’re supposed to respect others opinions not attack them for different beliefs. It is understandable that everyone does not have the same opinion but you are supposed to respect others opinions but also say something like "I’m going to disagree with you here sir, blah, blah, blah. Respond formally and don’t be like an immature little kid.
