Hey guys, this isn’t a thread about wether you want it in or not, but has there been any confirmation if it is?
I read somewhere that the DMR is now a 14 shot clip because the BR is a 4-shot Kill, Meaning both can kill 2 people before reloading.
If it’s true this would be great. The DMR won’t be OP like it was in the E3 build.
Sigh.
A 15-round DMR isn’t overpowered. The range and hitscan balances out the longer kill time.
I haven’t heard anything about it being buffed.
The DMR was reduced to 14 shots so it would be balanced out compared to the Battle Rifle when it is a five shot kill.
You can only kill two people using up all 36 bullets in the Battle Rifle, and now, you can only kill two people using all 14 bullets in the DMR.
Whoa, spooky. This is the exact same question that I just finished posting!
What I don’t get is how someone could say that a 14 shot clip on the DMR allows you to kill only two people just like the BR when the BR can kill 3 people with it’s 12 shots. So shouldn’t the DMR have 15 shots in its clip so it can kill three people too? Unless the BR is a 5 shot kill now…
I’m so confused.

The Battle Rifle is a five shot kill and has been since the E3 build.

So the BR is a five shot kill now?

With the 5-shot BR, the DMR had a 0.4 kill time faster than it. It had longer range and kill faster than the BR. Seems overpowered to me.
IDk if that’s been changed though. It’d be lame cause that means that the kill times are slower than Halo 3.

Ah. Thank you.
On a side note–that’s a bummer. I was pretty excited for the return of the 4 shot kill even though I was never really good at it. It was fun to pull it off.

Wish they made it so they could both kill 3 people just barely, meaning the BR would be 4-shot again. I don’t like seeing any slower kill times than Halo 3…

No, it just means that the BR is too weak. If the BR was a 4sk, it would be able to keep up. The Halo 4 BR also has spread, which means that a 4sk wouldn’t be too strong.

Yeh that’s what I meant. Seems unfair that the BR stayed a 4-shot. Could have made the DMR have a 14-shot clip, and the BR could have 32. Both would be able to kill only 2 people, and would have balanced kill times.
BR needs 4sk
> BR needs 4sk
If it hasn’t been changed to a 4-shot, it can’t be done now. I made this thread to see if it was changed in the PAX build or not.
If DMR is 5sk with 14 rounds
& BR is 5sk with 36 rounds
Does anybody have any details on the Light Rifle & the Carbine for comparison?

If the Carbine hasn’t changed, it’s a 7-shot kill with an 18-shot round. Not sure about the Light Rifle.

That’s great and all, but I hope they found a way to balance it since the E3 build. Last time I checked it had a kill time that was 0.4s less than the DMR. If that’s true than what’s the point of the BR if the DMR can kill faster and at longer range?

There were multiple people doing kill time comparisons after the E3 footage came out, we had 0.4 seconds faster, 0.2 seconds faster and a lot more.
Different results = someone is wrong, we don’t know who.
