DMR looks Overpowered

I was looking back at the DMR in the MLG gameplay footage when Best Man picked it up and he spammed 5 consecutive shots and killed somebody at almost point blank range as almost the bloom was non-existent. This could wreck almost any gun in my opinion, and I so I think that the ridicule should be a bit bigger with stronger bloom.

Oh well, every game has a gun like that. I sure know I planned to use the dmr

You know, Halo has made me really hate precision weapons. Really really hate them, and how people are always trying to limit the game down to just them.

There are other weapons, go try them for once. Or, here’s a better idea, wait until Halo 4 is out then make your judgement!

no way to tell till we get PRO DMR’r vs PRO BR’r and give them about 3 hrs w/each other and then we WILL KNOW.

Or I will know the instant I open my H4.

Halo: Reach

“ZOMG BLOOM SUCKS”

Halo 4

“WE NEED MOAR BLOOM”

I was just looking at MLG footage and saw DMR and to me it looked OP IMO, so don’t say wait to make your judgement because I wasnt criticizing the game, I was just trying to let people know if they think so to.

I can make the Plasma Pistol look OP.

Get out my thread…

a link to the gameplay will be great.

So, because you have seen one five shot kill with the DMR it is OP? They barely even used it and people won’t get five shots all the time anyway. The DMR, Carbine and BR are balanced, because it’s easier to use a three shot burst weapon than an one shot precision weapon. In average Halo: Reach matches you see that it takes 7-8 shots for most people to get a kill with the DMR, because it’s harder to get a headshot with it than it is with the BR.

First of all i was just giving an opinion and second of all this is HALO 4 not HALO REACH so the DMR is going to shoot differently and just because it takes 7-8 shots for you to kill somebody doesn’t mean that it takes most people to either. Just TRY and make a constructive post or just leave my thread.

The Carbine is pretty powerful too

Hey, not my fault you never took the time to learn other weapons and how to get their magic to shine.

You’ve played Halo 4? Then tell me how awesome the Plasma pistol and DMR shoot.

Wait, did you seriously just use my own reply against me? lol

It’s more logical to compare it to the DMR we have now instead of saying it’s OP while we haven’t even seen any gameplay from it except that one kill… And of course you switched my words around, I said in average matches and for most people, I never said I couldn’t get 5 shots most of the time. And please, it’s a forum, everyone has the right to speak. If you make a thread you can expect reactions from some people who do not agree with you.

You just can’t argue with these kind of people, they can’t accept it when they don’t have valid arguments.

I just want to hear your thoughts and not get flammed for something that is clearly my opinion.

Instead of just calling for outright nerfing of the weapons why not ask for less aim assist? Make the weapons harder to use to their full potential rather than just making them crap to use. Or buff the other weapons instead. Making everything slower all the time is just frustrating to the players who are capable of playing faster. Nothing needs to be at “realistic modern shooter” speed, but when things are too slow they simply bore players.

Limiting players by randomness is BS, let their own capabilities be their limiting factor.
