Where is the DMR! When I first got into my first game of swat in halo 5 I noticed something, there was no DMR… The DMR is the key wepon in swat for most people, 343 please listen and put the DMR in swat, I and allot more people really need that thing to rip clean head shots around corners and around the map. I’ve also noticed that when you click on swat there are three spartans in the background, two holding BR’s, and one holding the DMR so it’s obvious that the DMR was meant to be in swat for halo 5. If you guys do decide to put it in swat put the starting wepons to the DMR and the magnum.
Don’t know, Don’t care lol, BR is better in my opinion
I’d like a game for each loadout. Swatnums, BR SWAT, and DMR SWAT. I am fine with them being separate games, but it would be nice to have at least some way of doing the DMR version.

I think the Br is just as good as the DMR I just like the more one bullet clean head shots with the DMR

Yeah but Idk about you but I personally hate swatnums the Magum is just horrible at long rang but when you do get those clean one shot head shots woth them you feel like a god
DMR is far too effective, it would completely change the way SWAT is played.

In my honest opinion, I think the DMR is not compatible in the small Arena Maps compared to the magnum or BR for Swat. Unless it is by itself. I have play quite a bit and I know that in maps like the Rig or Plaza and such if put up to the faster firing and just as accurate in medium range weapons. The longer range DMR will be flattened.
The best option is to have a DMR only SWAT. It wouldn’t do so well mixed in like it was in Halo 4, where it was better suited for medium range combat compared to 5
As will be asked every time, what is your justification for wanting DMR’s over Magnums when the difference is a x2 to x3 scope and 4 more bullets?
Playing on the maps we have, what benefit does a x3 scope have over a x2?
Since shooting someone in the head makes them dead with 1 shot, why do we need 4 more bullets in the mag?
Since the M6 and DMR seem to have the exact same RoF and DpH, what could bringing DMR’s to the gametype bring that M6 don’t already do?
Though I have not been able to test out bullet magnetism, I have been able to tryout some spread tests. The DMR and M6 appear to have 0 spread. I can’t say if their bloom affects bullet magnetism right now but I can say that if your reticle is dead on with either weapon, they won’t miss.
The DMR is for allowing Pistol play on BTB as the only differences between it and the M6 are:
Magazine Size
Reticle Zoom
Possibly magnetism, the DMR having more.

Yeah DMR only SWAT would be great! But we need bigger maps for it like Pegasus, but there are allot of people like me that know how to maneuver around corners in small maps with the DMR and rip clean head shots on people using BR’s

That is actually a great point, but I just love the DMR i don’t know why but I was always good of with it

Everyone is good with it, that’s the problem. There’s an element of skills and a range drop off with the BR that makes the game more interesting, a good DMR user can sit off in a corner and plink people on the other side of the map with no issue.
DMR Swat would be great, played a lot of that in Reach personally and had a blast with it. However, I do agree with the others that the current map selection for this gametype is perhaps more suited to the other weapons.
DMR is my favourite loadout weapon since Reach, I would love to see a DMR SWAT variant.
I think the DMR should at least be a secondary or a weapon on the map

We’ll yeah but BRs and DMRs should not be in the same game mode making it fair
There were no problems with the DMR in Halo 4 SWAT last time I checked.
And why add in the SWAT background the Spartan holding an DMR if it’s not going to be present in the actual game mode?
Also change the maps or fix the spawning. Too much spawnkilling occurs for my taste.
… i couldn’t believe it when i heard that 343 removed DMRs from swat. 
i think this is the absolutely worst decission for halo 5 so far and probably the worst decission 343 made since reach! i would love to hear a reason for this because as it is now, it makes no sense and the only specualtive reasons left are:
- a bunch of small children complained to much that “swat is no funny because they all do shooting to fast and to good” and 343 just gave in, or
- 343 wants to put yet another restriction on legitimate players regarding the weapons they can use and have fun with or in other words: they want players to buy even more money for req packs to get a dmr - thus the other (legit) players to spend even more time in the only req-point-rewarding mode (warzone)…
ad 2. before you get into it: yes, i know that warzone and req cards have nothing to do with weapons in arena BUT the point is i for example love the dmr, it is by far the best halo weapon ever imo!, and as it is now there is no mode i can use it to play with!!! yes, just picking it up in a regular slayer from the ground doesn’t count. so yeah, i could use it in warzone, but unfortunately 343 made dmr the rarest (loadout!!!) weapon class possible and even after about 150+h hours of playing the lottery req system didn’t give me a single one!!! and btw. if you force us to play warzone too much, how about delivering a few more than just 3 maps?
anyway, this issue is not about my personal problems… even if we were to continue arguing about the two points above - although they are probably rather simply concluded, there is only one argument that will stay and that should be emphasized above all:
SWAT WAS ALWAYS WITH DMRS!!! that’s how you played it when first introduced in reach! dmrs! dmrs! dmrs! for balancing they anyway added that some games were with pistols and some games were played with brs… but there were always also dmrs and to remove them now is more than a breach of tradition but rather a punch in the face for players who love the weapon and are now left without any option to enjoy a game of nice hip-shooting-accuracy with their favorite weapon!
343, i am disappointed.
over and out!
I completely agree there needs to be dmrs
People complain about spawn killing in swat then ask for DMRs. Jesus you people are clueless.

This! Also, what about Carbine SWAT?
