Seeing as how 343 was saying how the DMR WILL beat the BR at long range most of the time, ths is kinda weird since 343 said the BR was gonna be hitscan and hae little spread, and since it has been confirmed the DMR will have a lower RoF than it did in Reach and the BR will also have a higher rof than it, so to balance things out, could the DMR be a 3 shot gun now?
No, everyone would use it.
No, DMR will be a single shot weapon.
Also just incase you don’t realize this.
Semi auto Fire > Burst Fire
That’s why DMR will be better than the BR.
Am I the only one seeing the bigger picture here?
The ARMY is going to play a role in Halo 4. It’s not just going to be marines now.
I dont think so, that would make it a super weapon. Dead on accuracy, scope, and 3-shot kill.
Way too powerful.
It’s overpowered enough already.
No, that’s ridiculous. It’s probably still 5, but plays differently since there’s recoil, not bloom.

If it had the RoF of a Sniper, it could work.
I wouldn’t recommend that. The DMR should have a longer range and better accuracy, but less powerful whereas the Battle Rifle should be a shorter range and less accuracy, but more powerful.
The object is to make every weapon have it’s specific use for the job. If it is done correctly, players will seldom need to worry about over powering weapons of mass-destruction anymore.

I think he meant 3 shot weapon as in 3 (single) shots to kill.

you misunderstood the question
he’s not asking weather it will burst-fire
he’s asking weather you will need 3 shots to get a kill
I would be pretty mad at 343 if the dmr was 3 shot.

What if it was balanced by low auto-aim/aim-magnetism and true-to-image hitboxes? The average player would be terrible with it, yet if someone 3-shot-killed you, you would at least know they earned the kill.
When they mean the DMR will have a slower RoF than the BR, I think they’re taking into account how the BR shoots 3 bullets at a time as opposed to the DMR’s 1 bullet.
BR = 4 shots X 3 bullets per shot = 12 bullets per kill = fast RoF
DMR = 5 shots X 1 bullet per shot = 5 bullets per kill = slow RoF
So technically the DMR does have a slower RoF than the BR, but only b/c the BR shoots 3 bullets per shot meaning that the DMR will most likely have less time between trigger pulls than the BR.
If anything is going to be a 3sk, it’s going to be the magnum, but will be balanced by less range and a slow RoF than the BR and DMR.
No.
I have seen lots of games change weapons in different ways and in almost every one of those game the weapon is destroyed like in the case of the m16 or the game is damage from what it could have been and this is more Likely the case if the dmr is changed dramatically.
Look I think he just worded it wrong guys… No gaming company would make the DMR, a slower and longer ranged weapon kill faster than the BR if all the shots hit of each gun.
I think he just meant to say that the DMR reigns in the longer range because the shots are more accurate and won’t miss as much as the BR…
If I’m wrong though and the DMR kills faster than the BR at all ranges, then these guys have to be crazy.
No it wont. In the last podcast frankie explained how the dmr’s precision as a slower fire rate rifle makes it better at long range because the br’s burst fire makes it less accurate at farther ranges.
It would be redundant to consider it a burst fire weapon if it has better accuracy than another burst fire weapon

The OP meant 3 shots to kill.

I thought Halo already had that. I’ve seen plenty of videos of projectiles going through people’s legs without so much as a scratch on the person.
