The DMR plays just like the pistol in CE fast kill times are amazing. BR is beast close range at least I own DMR users with it, not to mention it is amazing for assist and team shooting.
Its not fine. Obviously you use the DMR a lot. The BR is fine and the DMR needs a range nerf or something small. Nothing that will take it below the BR or carbine for that matter (which needs a tiny buff).
Stop being a casual, and use the gun then. Have you played CE fast kills times is what made HALO! Get used to it or get out.
> BR is beast close range
That’s not completely true.
In the hands of any skilled player who can get all of his shots on target, he will have an advantage.
Sure, if someone not as experienced uses the DMR at close range, he may have a harder time due to shooting only one bullet instead of three, considering the BR has more opportunity for a headshot with the 3-round burst than the DMR, but if he lands all five shots, he’ll win the battle, while a user using the BR would lose the battle if they miss just one of the three bullets protruding from the weapon with every shot.
I personally think the DMR needs to be removed altogether. It’s simply has too many advantages.
Yet another casual learn to strafe, the DMR will not be removed and it will not be nerfed especially if the competitive community has anything to do with it. 343 made this game with competition in mind, no more crappy slow kill times in Reach. Get used to it or get out. My take is you guys cant hit a 5 shot to save your life so you complain. Practice fellas nothing is changing
The DMR needs a nerf. Stop your talk about being a casual … Everyone who knows at least a little about game play mechanics would know that - MLG 50. Or at the very least, people needs to get unzoomed whey they get shot.
No nerf needed, no nerf will happen. Learn to Strafe use cover, you actually have to think about movement and cant just run out and gun. It’s Halo CE again boys put your big boy pants on and get in the game

But it is true. I can out-BR a DMR in almost any close to mid-range situation. Except on Complex, that map is just terrible.

I personally can not -YOINKING- believe how much of an idiot ChopStix is being. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, but in my mind ChopStix is the kind of person who would vote for Tod Akin or eat cereal without milk. An abomination to our society. Sadly, I haven’t found a way to block you for being a bigot, so I guess I’ll have to live with your bigotry.
And yes, I am a casual. Not everyone is a try hard piece of yoink like you.
The only thing the DMR is good for is showing who the real Halo fans are. The guys with the Battle Rifle take the effort to use a weaker weapon that takes better aim with higher recoil as the “MLG” players use the DMR which is more accurate, stronger, and fires faster between shots than the BR can fire between it’s bursts.
Is the BR a 5 shot kill now?
Only if you don’t hit them in the head at all.
DMR needs the slightest reduction in fire rate so that the BR actually beats it mid-close range and so that it still does what it is meant to do which is dominate mid-long range. Also all guns need to scope out when shot.
I use the light rifle alot and im beatin by br users a good amount of the time at close range. Thats how the dmr should be. I think either higher bloom or a way reduced rof. Maybe something just a smidge above the lr. also op dont flame folks or this thread will be locked.
If you dont want the dmr nerfed because fast kill times are good, you should want other guns buffed to the level of the dmr.
> Is the BR a 5 shot kill now?
Yes. It’s 5 bursts, or 13-15 actual shots depending on whether you get a head shot on the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd shot of the last burst respectively.
The DMR is also 5 shots assuming the last is a head shot.
OT: Yeah. Stop with the flaming and whatnot. As someone else said, the thread may get locked.
The DMR is not fine if you are comparing it to the pistol in CE… as the pistol is CE was greatly OP…

actually a nerf will probably happen… lol sorry to burst your bubble.
DMR is the downfall of halo gameplay, it turns everything into mini sniper fights from across the map, abusing lines of sights… that is not what halo is at all
