So, as we all know, there are 2 precision loadout weapons: the DMR, and the BR. One thing I’ve come to notice, playing Halo 4 (I’m now at SR125) is that the Battle Rifle is a useless weapon. Albeit it is my favourite to use, it is completely outclassed by the DMR. The DMR kills quicker, up close and at a distance, shoots faster, has a larger magazine, a more precise reticle, can kill at long distances, and has no recoil. The only advantage the BR has over the DMR is that it can kill in 1 shot should your opponent have a very low amount of shield (the bleed through shot), and is arguably easier to use up close. I think a serious buff for the BR is needed if it is to even compete with the DMR. I’m thinking a 4 shot up close? If the DMR defeats it at range, why can’t the BR beat it in close quarters? That would give the weapon heavy validity in choosing a loadout weapon to suit the map and it’s line of sight ranges…not just choosing the DMR every time. Thoughts?
The BR is fine, the DMR needs a nerf, if anything, and you failed to mention the Carbine, which is what needs a buff.
I use which ever one is best for the map im on. I beat DMR users all the time inn 4v4. I almost never use the dmr in 4v4 because i find it faster really. BTB yeah i use the DMR cause the BR doesnt have the range but iv never felt either weapon is better. Just depends on the level i say

That was my thinking. Both the LR and the Carbine are needed to be tweeked.
I really tried to use the BR, but it’s to no avail. It really needs to be able to beat the DMR in some situations. I guess the only time it’s good is on small maps in SWAT.
Dude… Dude… Poorly thought out post, literally hundreds of posts like this… Use the search button…
DMR is overpowered and trumps them all. Light Rifle is incredibly slow for a weapon coming from a superior species, and the Carbine does so little damage I think it actually recharges your enemies shields. The Battle Rifle has a neat gimmick with the 3 shot thing, but that only gives an advantage in SWAT where the DMR can’t drop your shields in half the time.
Yep DMR trumps em all for your average Slayer application.
Which really makes me wonder what the point was in all these duplicate weapons.
We have 3 Assault rifles (Suppressor and Storm Rifle are the other 2), 4 Precision, 3 Shotguns (Shotgun, Scattershot, and Bolt Shot), etc.
I don’t know how this idea that each alien weapon MUST be an extraterrestrial version of something we’ve already got became the blue print for weapon design. It makes trying to max out these weapon commendations painstakingly repetative though.
More like Designated Everything Rifle. I can’t wait for them to nerf the DMR.
The DMR is the most overpowered loadout weapon in the game. (Some people would argue that the most OP is the boltshot, but I find the DMR can beat any gun at almost any range) In Big Team slayer on Valhalla, if you go to the centre of the map where the tiny hill is and camp with the DMR , you can easily go 30 - 5 without using any vehicles. The BR is very good in SWAT though, since you can do a drag shot and easily hit an enemy if you are not aiming directly on them.
