was there any use to 343 adding load outs if the dmr is still used by just a bought every one for the obvious reason it stomps every other gun just looking for thoughts me personally i think the dmr basically makes all the other guns useless as its superior in every situation so what do you guys think ?
There is currently no reason to pick any loadout weapon other than the DMR. You’re handicapping yourself otherwise. It has a faster kill time than any weapon other than the suppressor (point blank) and practically no crosshair bloom or recoil.
In short, the very idea of loadouts are a bad joke.
In medium range BR is my first pick over DMR and i mostly win those battles when my adversary is using a DMR, and in up close encounters my first choice is the AR.
hmmm so i thought i just wanted to hear it from someone else lol been playing and noticed top kills in every game were people using the dmr seems silly of 343 to add a gun that basically out preforms all the other guns in every way but oh well looks like my load outs will go to dmr or use in spartan ops

This.
When I first started I always beat people when using the DMR vs their BR etc. However, now that I’m playing better people I’m regularly getting my behind handed to me in mid to close range battles by people using the BR/AR vs my DMR. The other weapons are definitely not useless.
I generally get the top kills in games I play, and I only use DMR for my BTB loadout.
Fastest kill time in the game is the light rifle (scoped), the downside is it indicates where you are, but it’s the best weapon at range…
DMR is a great performing weapon, but it gets beat by every non-rifle weapon at close range (AR’s out perform it ridiculously well)
the BR is a rifle option for poor shots or people who move a lot, and it beats the DMR most of the time at mid.
P.S. The magnum (if you’re a good shot) beats the DMR at close AND mid range every time, it’s drawback is the clip size.
The people winning with the DMR are because it’s a reliable all around weapon, it’s “good” at close, medium, and far, and it has a decent clip size, but it’s not the best weapon at any range.
I find in close confined spaces the suppressor works better.
AR > DMR in CQB. I have said it before and I will say it again. If you are using the AR and are being beat by the DMR up close then you are terrible, plain and simple. It is not the games fault. YOU ARE TERRIBLE.
Everyone has their preferences/ Me I like to shatter the DMR with my amazing BR. :]
Hate the way the DMR looks/sounds/…smells everything just keep me away from dat gun D:
I was clearly doing it wrong when I used an Assault Rifle in Adrift then. Oh, and got about 20 kills for 6. And, y’know, our team won. Despite all the ‘magic’ DMRs and BRs the other team were using. Yup. Clearly an OP’d weapon. Totally.
This is getting old. Seriously. Yes, the DMR is powerful on big, open maps. The BR is good on nearly every map.
That does not make it an I-Win button.

Oh, I’ve know that for years now =P
Its like a gravity well, though; I keep getting dragged back in.
Light Rifle beats DMR at long range.
Actually, I think I beat the BR at close-mid range 9/10 times with the DMR. If you are accurate, and fire as fast as possible there is now ay it can win. It does take practice to use it at every range but once you got it down it’s the best.
DMR> Every other loadout option
i know where your anger is comeing from and i dident mean to be like oh QQ them dmrs ruin the game but i just wanted to hear thoughts on what people felt a bought the dmr and how its a tad too effective for a load out i admit i could have worded my original post far better but i was on Ragnarok using a mantis and all the dmrs prompted me to post this cus from what i saw it seemed me and one guy on the other team using light rifles were the only ones not using a dmr
perhaps if they had made it a drop weapon like the saw or needler which both are less usefull then a dmr all around i dunno feels like they just snatched it out of reach and ballanced the guns like it wasent there
@X21 Ice Wolf dident know how to respond to a post lol first time here figured it out tho
Personally I hate the DMR.
Or at least hate how it is literally the weapon of choice on Halo 4. It is so powerful and versatile that it ruins the game for me, I believe wholeheartedly that it should be a weapon for pick up on the map, just like the other power weapons.
I will use Br in mid-range, and get destroyed while getting nothing but head shots, and in close range, I still get destroyed even if I use my AR or my Suppressor(though with my suppressor it’s some what easier.
It’s annoying.
I have seen games where I will shoot and shoot and shoot my enemy with the DMR, straight in the head, it’s supposed to be a 4-shot kill, and yet what happens? I shoot him about 6 times, ALL HEADSHOTS, still no death, I end up dead…it’s coming to a point where it is ruining my gaming experience with Halo 4, it’s why I didn’t like Slayer DMR’s because it was so pathetically dominant and no real skill was needed, just a good aim and a few well placed shots.
If the game is to be balanced they need the DMR out of there, and on the field as a pick up. 'Nough Said.
No. A weak BR and Carbine make loadouts useless because the only guns worth taking a second look at are the DMR, Light Rifle, Storm Rifle, and Suppressor.
> No. A weak BR and Carbine make loadouts useless because the only guns worth taking a second look at are the DMR, Light Rifle, Storm Rifle, and Suppressor.
Light Rifle can be countered, Storm Rifle over heats if coming in from mid-range, and the Suppressor can be out gunned by an AR if maneuvered properly. The DMR trounces all three and just destroys any map placement, any tactical maneuvering, and any reason to use anything else on any map.

thats probebly because ur getting lucky by playing against noobs + you might be a skilled player. both those factors together make it that you do the imposible. (beat the dmr with a br)
