I have noticed through many games that the DMR overpowers every other precision weapon. I thought that it would be balanced better but it is not. Just a few minutes ago I was using the covenant carbine and started shooting at someone with the DMR, I started shooting him first and hit him in the head every shot. He still killed me. I love this game but still think that the DMR is a tad too powerful.
Yeah that tends to happen if your going up against someone with a DMR and you don’t have one yourself.
Your not alone who is bothered by it and considering the amount of DMR op threads on here I am sure 343 will consider doing something to “fix” it… Hopefully.
I completely agree. Don’t get me wrong i love the DMR but the difference between it and its close competitors, the BR, Carbine, and Light Rifle are outrageous!
The DMR is designed to excel at long range and be decent at medium but horrid at close quarters and that isn’t the case in Halo 4. It is the new MLG “Pro” weapon much like the BR was in Halo 3 but an AR would still beat a BR at close range in Halo 3. In Halo 4 the AR can’t beat the DMR unless it is in a interior close quarters fight much like how the DMR can dominate everything else at medium and close range where it is supposed to suffer a bit.
DMR sure is more then just the rifle, it WAS in its time.
The hip aim assist is kinda… Far, too far.
Lowering it to that of the BR, could possibly help the situation.
A decrease in fire rate otherwise.
I guarantee you just missed a couple of those shots you fired at the guy before he reacted, the Carbine seems pretty easy to spam so that was most likely the case.
Step 1: Complain about bloom.
Step 2: Remove bloom. (The nerfing mechanism.)
Step 3: Complain about the DMR being OP.
Waypoint logic.
I could live with the DMR in there where no load outs, and we all went back to weapons on map. Then I would appreciate a players skill in fighting for it, and his ability to use it!

With everyone having sprint, Bloom would make the DMR useless. There has to be another solution. Bloom sucked, and was a bad solution. And now you drag up because ppl point out the DMR is OP. That your logic, and its sucks
Why nerf weapons, why not buff the BR to the DMR’s level?
Nobody can ever answer this question for me. Or even come up with an excuse as to why not.
reminds people of halo CE and the 3 shot pistol…
> reminds people of halo CE and the 3 shot pistol…
And how it was the most perfect weapon that was difficult, yet rewarded players with amazing power if they were able to use it?
Another DMR is OP topic? SERIOUSLY?
We have like 30+ threads about this already. Why cant people just post in one, giant topic?
it’s like these people think they’re breaking news by saying this weapon or that weapon is OP.
I completely agree I believe 343 needs to increase the bloom on the DMR because there is hardly any bloom and the bloom is what made the DMR a fun precision weapon in Reach. Almost everyone uses the DMR…
The DMR shouldn’t even be in the damn game. It was the Battle Rifle’s predecessor.
The DMR is considered ‘overpowered’ because it’s one of the loadouts, and people get used to using it before other precision weapons are unlocked.
If the carbine was the first to be unlocked, the same would go for that.
The DMR - ruining Halo games since 2010, with or without bloom.
Remove almost all aim assist from the DMR, and it will get wrecked in close quarters by the BR, and be on even footing at mid range, and mostly dominant at long range.
if u really want to talk about op weapons think about this the dmr i a one shot and the br is a 3 round burst and they put it in swat now it takes 2 pulls of a triger to kill somone with the br in swat and the dmr is a one shot and then i have to put out the useing the dmr and somone useing the rifile i have bin spamed just by that alone and it takes half a clip u guys get mad about the dmr but its shot speed is slower then any other weapon and since u guys freaked so much now ever other weapon can beat a dmr so really i see no point in doing this why dont u go play swat and feel how it being spraid with br shots and u use a dmr why dont u just man up and u know they mad a awsome game but its poeple who likes to do this to make the game really not fun at all and truth be told i have bin spraid with the carbin and i have died cause poeple would use a trubo fire contoler or a mod controler
Light Rifle beats it long range, AR, supressor, bolt shot all beat it short range.
A good BR can beat it mid and close range, it’s not that OP.
I suggest going light rifle/bolt shot if your having trouble, then you have an advantage at anything but mid range.
I wouldn’t be surprised if MLG just used BR on all loadouts. It seems like a few outspoken pros don’t like the type of gameplay the DMR lends itself to.
