The DMR needs to be nerfed, either the bloom needs to be increased or the bullets need to do less damage.
Ragnarok plays terribly in comparison to Halo 3 as you can just be picked off so easily by the DMR from half way across the map.
Honestly why bring it back, especially now that you can just stay scoped even when shot… what a joke.
Completely agree Big Team is ruined by this maps are so open that people get picked off left and right.
Norally I hate omg nerf threads, but this is truth. Playing big team on ragnarok is terrible… I don’t think the objective of the map is to have everyone hiding behind cover trying to snap shoot each other for 10 minutes while one guy runs around in a mech.
So just use the DMR yourself

ERMERGHERD NERF DMR BEFORE HE GETS KILLED BY SOMEONE WITH SKILL AGAIN!!
Won’t make any difference. You obviously suck and are going to die lots anyway.
Don’t stand out in the open, genius. That was an easy way to get killed even in Halo 3, when the Battle Rifle was alll we knew.
I think we should get more points for assists. I’ve gotten more wingman medals in this game then reach…
Thats what most of us do, you are clearly missing the point.
It totally ruins the idea of a big game if EVERYONE is sitting behind cover taking pop shots at one another from across the map.
They might as well just put in a big team snipers playlist if that is the intention.
Has anyone even been able to play on Exile yet? I swear every BTB game I’ve played so far have been Ragnarok and Longbow.
Anyways, yeah, I’m not surprised the DMR is used heavily in BTB. It’s a really good gun.
It probably wouldn’t hurt if Ragnarok wasn’t voted for 98 percent of the time as well.
Ive not played one isngle btb on any map other than rag, but then I only have about 5 hours into multiplayer, so I’m not counting that experience yet.
> Don’t stand out in the open, genius. That was an easy way to get killed even in Halo 3, when the Battle Rifle was alll we knew.
Not having even played the game, I can point out the flaw in that logic.
The BR in Halo 3 had a built-in spread that limited its effectiveness at long range and made it so you couldn’t perfectly get shots at long range all the time.
The DMR has no such limitation, and even has longer range than it did in Reach. Hence, creating an issue we didn’t see in Halo 3 BTB.
OP is right. Going out in the open for more than 3 seconds means death.
Oh the irony. People begged for Bloom to be gone and now that it is, people want it back.
I guess people don’t realize that the DMR is made for exactly that type of combat. It’s a Medium/Long range weapon. I don’t really have this problem at all playing on Ragnarok.

Wow, I just wrote a huge response for you, but this forum decided to delete everything.
Case in point was you could not do that with the BR. There was a certain point where the BR was not effective at long range due to an aim assist cut off and a weaker scope. The DMR makes it where you cannot move, thus taking out any pacing, flow, or movement from the game. Majority of games, especially BTB turn into getting on the high ground and camping it with your DMR.
Not to mention the DMR outclasses the BR in medium range and sometimes close range.
Or maybe you could have wasted the time you’re using to complain right now to get better at the game, and not force 343i to nerf a gun because you can’t adapt to it?

From my experience with them I find them to be equal at middle range. The player with better aim will win regardless of what weapon is used. At short range BR’s seem to fair better.
BTB (Especially Ragnarok) is ruined by a handful of things.
I say they make the BR a 4-shot again, that way it has a large advantage at close-range, but suffers inaccuracy at long-range. This will balance gun-play.
Get rid of the bloody Mantis.
