I believe that both the DMR and the BR can stay in halo 5 with this solution. (no bashing please)
Ok so the dmr and the br are the unsc most used rifles, one for mid to short range while the other is mid to long range.
-Well first thing both guns should have no aim assist.
-The DMR should have somewhat of a bloom like reach’s buts less then that. The gun should be semi-auto, with slow firing, takes 5-6 shot to kill an enemy.
-The BR should have very little bloom but a combo of halo 4 and halo 3’s version of the br, takes around 5-6 rounds to kill an enemy but is slightly faster then the dmr.
Say if they take the loadouts out in halo 5 heres my solution to that:
-When you go to slayer (small amount like 4v4 or 5v5) then you will have BR slayer.
-In big team maps (8v8 or as high as 32v32) then there will be a option for a dmr slayer.
If you have other solutions to make this better then explain it.
I think the DMR ruins close ranged battles which are the most fun. Just my opinion though.
I would say we should either have a BR for the UNSC and the Needle Rifle for the Covenant Or the DMR for the UNSC and the Carbine for the Covenant.
As much as I love the DMR aesthetically and functionally, I feel the BR’s burst fire makes it a little more interesting human weapon. I would leave the single shots to the flashier alien weapons.
Thanks for taking the time to write out your thoughts OP, not very many people care about this game enough to try and send out some constructive criticism. That said, this is a post that has been made dozens if not hundreds of times. If you really want to get people talking and thinking, find an issue that is not discussed widely here, that you feel needs improvement. That’s the best thing you can be doing for this game. That and -Yoink!--slapping 343I into having some balls and doing what needs to be done with this game, instead of following the “every other shooter” crowd.
