DMR a tad overpowered?

Games Other Halo
1

So I’ve been playing Halo 4 a lot and I like to switch up my weapons BR, LightRifle, Covenant Carbine etc.
But I tend to go for the DMR because everybody seems to use it and the killtime just seems really quick with that gun. When I’m having a good game I can down someone with a DMR with my BR or LightRifle but the Covenant Carbine doesn’t stand a chance…

Is anyone experiencing the same?

The DMR and the Light Rifle seem to be the best. Often, I find my self going for the light rifle because it shoots a bit faster and it looks cooler. There have been times I was spawn sniped with the DMR because someone had damage boost on. The DMR is a tad to powerful but not op

Yeah the DMR is the way to go, however I believe the Lightrifle will kill you faster when scoped in; I may be wrong though.

I use br and dmr, it doesnt matter which one i use as i can kill anyone with them.

all values when getting headshots on the final shot
DMR = 5 shot kill
BR = 5 burst kill
Light Rifle = 4 shot kill when zoomed in, 5 burst when zoomed out
Carbine = 5 shot kill but also has a fast fire rate

I don’t think the DMR is too powerful, it’s better than the BR at long range, but the BR is better than the DMR at close-medium range

The thing is, that if the person you’re fighting against is more accurate, they’re going to win with whatever rifle they choose at close-medium range.

this is what happends when you can load outs into halo, if it ain’t broken don’t try and fix it !

it’s what happens when you make a weapon effective at all ranges

Thanks for the helpfull posts, thought I was -Yoinking!- about it but luckily I don’t stand alone. I would like to see a decrease in firespeed, that would probably help a lot. It would still be strong, but it’s role would really more be for longrange engagements.

Of course the person who’s more accurate will win, but if 2 equally skilled players fight, the one with the DMR will win every time. It is overpowered.
