So, I was fiddling around with the game options trying to make an old school Halo 3 gametype and realized that if you put the Damage Resistance down to 90 %, the BR becomes a 4 shot, but the DMR still remains as a 5 shot. The BRs burst shot is enough to break the shields and kill the player, but the DMR only breaks the shield. I think it’s because the 2 bullets of the BR breaks the shield and the last one become the killshot. Anyways, just sharing.
Interesting, I think this could go somewhere if 343 never actually makes a “Classic” gametype or fixes the BR.
Just to be safe though, i’d recommend not putting both the BR and DMR in the same map if you’re going for the classic feel. Also, you could increase the shield regen by putting it at five seconds and 110 % faster to compensate for the 90 % damage resistance.
4 shot BR would make the game a little fast-paced, in my opinion… a decent way to solve the problem but I’d rather see the DMR restricted to six shots, and fire slower.
Game needs to slow down a bit anyway.

The DMR needs it’s bullet magnetism nerfed a fair bit too, why can’t they make it like the Light Rifles Bullet Magnetism? Infact all guns need a bullet magnetism nerf other than that weapon really.

Let’s just say I have a little something that lets me play with no sprint and instant respawns, but yes, I agree.
Wouldn’t work. Even as 5-shot the BR generally wins the short-mid range 1v1s.
I think the DMR takes a bit more skill than the BR at close to to medium ranges. SWAT on small maps is typically full of people who spray and pray with the BR. some of this same people typically get their butts kicked on the larger maps on swat.
there should really be 2 swat modes. 1 for people who use the DMR and 1 for people who spray and pray using a BR.
