A short Halo 5 rant.

343i, in Halo 5 I thought you were going to allow the series to evolve, but instead you refused. You refused to listen to the community. How could you not notice that people actually liked the DMR? Why did you take it out? Anyone who actually believes that the DMR is OP just wants their favorite weapon the BR to be OP instead. The BR has a spread which allows you to get a headshot even when you miss. The dmr was a single shot weapon, you had to aim that 1 bullet every time you shot. The DMR’s fire rate compensated for how much easier it is to kill someone with a BR, and because it was so much harder to use you decide to take it out?

Don’t you think there was a reason why in Halo 4 tournaments, MLG players used the DMR? It was because they knew it was a challenging weapon to maser, and they wanted to show of their skills. But now… you removed the DMr, and even worse you made the game an arena shooter again… Do you know how ridiculous it is when you get killed by someone only because they managed to find a decent weapon before you do? I’m sorry 343i, but I won’t by any of your map packs. I’m going to go to gamestop and sell my copy of halo 5… OH wait! I can’t do that because microsoft banned used games. I’m sure you guys had something to do with that… I guess I’ll just flush my copy of halo 5 down the toilet. I won’t be buying halo 6. I guess I’ll just play halo 4 and reach until you shut down the servers.

Good Bye Halo. If only you still belonged to bungie… I used to think halo 4 was bad until I played halo 5.

EDIT: since people are actually taking this seriously, i think i should mention that this is a parody of what people will say when halo 5 comes out

What?

what the…Halo 5 isn’t out and unfortunately the DMR is still IN Halo 4.

not sure if srs

Halo was obviously never meant for you then.

He is showing us a future if 343i listens to the H3 kids and their dumb ideas.

I think you guys don’t get the joke, he’s basically saying that when Halo 5 comes out, people will say that it sucks so much, that is makes Halo 4 look good. Basically, the same is happening with Reach for many people right now.

> He is showing us a future if 343i listens to the H3 kids and their dumb ideas.

if they listen to us Halo 5 will be epic!

someone who gets it

Damn I hope people will truly complain about that when H5 comes out.

I find this really unfunny, especially since you’re making fun of the only good ideas anyone has ever had on these forums. And used game aren’t going to get banned. You read some stupid rumor on IGN and believed it.

Sorry man, the best comedy usually comes from speaking truth to power and not defending large companies from their powerless customers.

i didnt mean a single word i said in that post (i thought more people wouldve been able to tell) and im not making fun of any good ideas, im making fun of the people who think those good ideas are bad ideas

  1. Halo 5 is not out yet
  2. More than half the stuff IGN says about the next Xbox is false.
  3. The DMR sucks and the BR is the true Halo rifle.
  4. Anyone who plays Halo 3 knows what they are talking about.
  5. Most of us have played Halo since CE days or since Halo 2 days.
  6. Anyone who actually agress with this stuff needs to just quit this game right now. Halo’s rifle is the BR not the DMR. If you think the DMR is a good gun just quit Waypoint and Halo in general.

Opinions. Opinions everywhere.

I started with Halo 3, and didn’t have much care for rank at all until Reach was close to coming about. I was mostly into customs with friends and such. During Reach’s span and now into H4, I appreciate the ranking system H3 had and go back to play that game sometimes to play what I feel Halo should be.

One thing I felt H4 is lacking (and to less of an extent, Reach) is the variety available to us on the map. Armor abilities threw equipment into our loadouts, which gives me the feeling of more repetitive battles. Weapons on map were a of a wider array (Brute Shot here, Hammer there, even a power up), and some maps were interactive (High Ground door, Last Resort road blocks, etc.).

Ordinance drops can arguably bring the weapon variety into play, but I feel it isn’t the same. There’s no risk to hunt down that weapon, and you just never know how many sniper rifles are in circulation on the map.

Simply put, I’m disappointed that AAs have made the arsenals on maps less varied and fights less focused on gunplay sometimes. It is more of a focus of “is my AA ready again?”. I’m enjoying the additions that are coming to Halo 4 that were missing, and I hope Halo 5 fills in the gaps we’re missing.

Infinity Slayer, JiP, loadouts, and Ordinance should stay, but make it the social playlist. Condense the playlists again to preserve player counts across MM.

And sheesh, give us BTB without loadouts! :slight_smile:

1 and 2: Not the topic here.

3: I believe that the BR isn’t the “true Halo rifle”. That would actually be the AR. And In my opinion, the best rifle would be the Carbine., so… opinion.

4:I played Halo 3, and I differ.

5: I’ve played just from the Halo 3 era, but started from the PC CE.

6: Opinion.

i thought the fact that it was a halo 5 rant made it obvious that i was making a parody of what people will say when halo 5 comes out

I can’t believe people are believing he’s serious.

Subtlety is usually wasted here. I got the joke, but other people might have thought either you made a typo or you are just one of the those random crazy people who is soothed by the sounds of their own random typing.

Someone’s a dumb@ss.

Read people. He is being sarcastic. He is just foretelling the people’s reactions to Halo 5 if 343i clones H1/2/3.
