Now I’ve been playing halo for a long time and I can tell you the DMR is not OP compaired to BR
I’ve been hearing rumors that 343 will be making BR 4 shots…
Now if they do this… The BR will be waaaaay too -Yoinking!- powerful. People… THE DMR IS A LONG RANG WEAPON TO MID RANG!! It’s suppose to be powerful it’s purpose!!
Same with the BR! It’s powerful for mid rang to close range! That’s it’s purpose!
People are complaining because they go into big team battle using BR when most of the map are long rang map! UHHHH DUUUUH DMR IS THE CHOICE!
See even on small maps… Yes DMR has more accurate fire. But with BR you can headshot someone when their shields not even all the way down! You don’t want the weapons to be exactly the same because then that cancels out the purpose of multiple weapons.
If they Make BR 4 shots it will officially be the most powerful weapon unless they do something to the DMR also. Smh…
pfft…BR being OP…I can beat BR players while using the DMR on large maps. Better concept, better precision, better shots

youre an idiot. The BR was meant to be 4 shots and yes the DMR is op. The BR is basically garbage in this game
Halo isn’t MEANT to have a starting weapon go that far because the ability to traverse the map is essential to gameplay, which means better gameplay and its flow during combat. Nobody wants to be stuck in certain areas for fear of getting cross map killed constantly. Why do you think the Sniper Rifle is a pick-up?

Even though, im not a BR user, i would like to see the BR have the 4-Shots. I’m still looking into using it on smaller maps.

I’m a idiot? Then again I use both BR and DMR and I still own. Ppl want BR to be the strongest weapon in the game. I hate that

Bull…So your telling me the dmr is supposed to be ok to be able to take out tanks and wraiths instantly. If that was true then most of the worlds from the invasion would have been a pushover. It’s so OP I wouldn’t be suprised if they expect us to believe they could take out jet fighters. It’s wouldn’t be so OP if the vehicles were turned into paper or the maps weren’t so small.
The DMR is OP compared to the rest of the loadout weapons in their current state, but it won’t be with the propose weapon changes. Nor will the BR become overpowered.

THEY BOTH DO SAME DAMAGE! I’ve spent an hour in custom games shooting still ppl and vehicles with BR and DMR one weapon just has more range than the other.

Let’s not forget “some” ordnance’s, not just the Sniper Rifle.
Ok you know what, ima leave it at that… When the BR becomes too powerful don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I use a bit of both and I have to say that the DMR is much superior to the BR, and I even prefer the BR anyway.
The thing about the DMR is that it has more range and with that, it is also good at all distances no matter what you say. The BR being good a more mid-ranged weapon cannot compete against a DMR on a map so large, say Ragnarock. A DMR can fire almost entirely across the map. Someone with a BR has to take caution when fighting a ranged battle, while the DMR user doesn’t need any sort of caution as the weapon is good at all ranges, thus why I consider it OP and makes the BR irrelevant to use sometimes.
Although the BR’s “supposed” advantage is burst fire, it won’t help against a DMR at any range. It makes the BR seem pointless to even use, thus OP.
The BR was the way bungie meant for halo to be played. Not this long range -Yoink- that the dmr brings. BTW the DMR is way op CQC as well
Also considering the fact that the DMR has way more bullet Magnetism than any of the other weapons it’s pretty obvious that the DMR is Overpowered. I really don’t get 343i, why waste all your time buffing all the weapons (aside from the Carbine, that thing is useless) when you can just nerf the “Aim assist” and “Magnetism” on the DMR thats ALL you have to do…
I do think making BR a 4-shot is a mistake, but I think it’s a problem that DMR is preferred in both long and mid-range over the BR. In other words, if we’re talking range on a 1 to 10 scale, DMR should be preferred in 6-10 and BR in 1-5 (just isolating these two choices of course). Right now it feels like DMR is the preferred choice in 4-10 and BR just 1-3.
I also don’t think increasing weapon kill times is the answer. Kill times are already too fast in Halo 4 in my opinion. I would have loved 343 to commit to weakening the DMR in a smart, subtle way instead of making the BR a 4-shot and buffing automatic weapons.
I dont see why people are freaking out about a 4 shot BR. It was a 4 shot gun in two games and worked out just fine. switching to a 5 shot gun in reach and retaining the dmr in 4 lead to a slowed down gameplay that cant match the chaotic awesomeness of halo 2 and 3 and is very obvious on lockout

I have a secret for you:
Every weapon is that easy to use.
at least the 4 shots BR isn’t gonna make people stuck in a big map long range camping battles.
is boring as -Yoink- own a guy in the other side of the map and then before u kill him or even they lose the complete shield, they hide.
ok this is a normal behavior… till that guys just do the same OVER AND OVER AGAIN, and that guys never try to kill u, they just become some kind of annoying ammo trash can, u just waste bullets on them.

Aim assist is similar on all of the precision rifles and the Carbine has more magnetism.
