Anyone else using the DMR post weapon tuning?

Games Other Halo

I tried the 4sk BR settings off Ghost’s fileshare and decided the DMR was still a very viable weapon.

-It will still have that beastly range which will give it a clear advantage still on even smaller maps like Shutout. Someone from BR3 can still beat someone from S2 easily.

-Putting shots into enemies from a longer range makes it easier for your team mates allowing you to play more conservatively. I can see this still being the go to weapon for “team players”.

-For a BR to earn that 4sk, you must hit 11-12 of the shots. If the opponent has a good strafe, or you have a bad shot, your likely still going to be getting the 5sk.

-The Light Rifle may outclass it at longer range (arguable), but the LR is less reliable at the shorter range. It also has a slower rate of fire and 2 less shots which are usually very important.

I don’t know about you, but I am still likely to be using the DMR after the weapon tuning.

Yeah I will, I like it more than the BR by a lot, but I haven’t used it in 4 because it’s OP and the Light Rifle, I’m excited to use it again

3

I use the br as it stands now so I’m definitely going to keep using it. DMR is my backup weapon.

4

When will be the tunning on line?

5

I am a DMR fan. And will stick with it.

Like you said, the ability to cause damage from a distance suits my play style that depends of others to finish these wounded enemies off, if I cannot get the head shot.

I tried the light rifle… It was not for me.

I may go BR and DMR and see if I cannot get the advantage of both.

I didn’t even want to use the DMR pre-patch, the only reason I even used the DMR was because I needed to react to other people using it.

I may play Halo 4 again some time in June, but I have no plans to use the DMR. BR and Carbine for me.

> When will be the tunning on line?

June 3rd

8

I have more fun using the other precision weapons so DMR will probably be the last one I max out.

9

If and when I return, I will be more inspired to go ham on my Carbine Commendation again. Also, I may give the dmr a little more love since it wont be the all round god weapon anymore. I will feel much better for using it now.

Edit :nvm, forgot I already finished that commendation.

10

I prefer the BR even though DMR is still the better choice. I just wish for once, I could play without DMRs.

11

Where can I find the file share with these settings?

12

I stopped using the DMR months ago. It is just a crutch so you don’t have to try as hard. Carbine, BR, LR, and Storm Rifle all the way! (in that order too)

13

Think iv got 2kills with DMR didn’t get on with it I’m going stick with BR love that gun.

14

You may be using Ghost settings. But it doesn’t factor in the BR killing on an 11th bullet, and it with a faster rate of fire. Also doesn’t factor in the reduce RRR range, and bullet magnetism of the DMR.

15

Absolutely. Love that gun, even in Reach.

16

Nope. I primarily use the BR anyways. This update is just going to help my playing more.

17

Where can i find the 4sk BR settings?

It isn’t the actual weapon changes coming on June 3rd, it is just 110% damage & 110% damage resistance which results in the Battle Rifle becoming a 4 shot kill.

The BR is going to have a slightly slower fire rate which this gametype doesn’t have.

19

I might use it, as it is an all around weapon, and it sounds like a mini cannon.

I stopped using the DMR once I got its mastery, and that was before the weapon tuning. There’s no way I’ll be using it once my trusty Carbine will be useful again.
