So this thread is about one of the more controversial weapons in Halo 4 - the DMR.
I’ll put a list of options for a nerf in the poll which people suggest make the DMR as powerful as it is currently. There will be another option to say no (Nay) to any kind of nerf of the weapon.
Personally, I’m all for a RoF (Rate of Fire) nerf. Even if it’s only slightly enough to compensate for the gigantic range, incredible accuracy and utterly ridiculous bullet magnetism and aim assist.
Please avoid any flaming. This is just a simple poll to see where people stand on this subject.
A RoF nerf is the best thing to do I think, so the DMR and the BR will have the same killtimes. Next to the RoF nerf, they should also decrease the bullet magnetism on the DMR, which is far too high atm.
A lower rate of fire. Less autoaim and bullet magnetism. Less damage if that’s necessary, though it may not be with RoF already up there.
Oh, and autoaim range needs to be reduced both in and out of scope to keep it balanced with both the BR and Light Rifle.
It needs a fairly severe nerf because as it is it can do everything other weapons can but better and it completely suppresses larger maps, with the exception of the Light Rifle which doesn’t have the same potency at short range.
Light Rifle and Carbine have a greater skill curve compared to the DMR, however I believe these guns (Light Rifle & Carbine) can be awesome weapon alternatives to the DMR.
I use the DMR, I know most people do, I typically win my DMR duels, and its simply because the person shooting at me, isn’t shooting at my heads. The DMR doesn’t need to be nerf’ed, it’s fine.
Halo 4 has a laundry list of problems that need resolution before anything about the sandbox and game play is messed with.
“I use the DMR, I know most people do, I typically win my DMR duels, and its simply because the person shooting at me, isn’t shooting at my heads. The DMR doesn’t need to be nerf’ed, it’s fine”.
I don’t think you’re considering all you should be. It is too powerful in too many aspects.
“Halo 4 has a laundry list of problems that need resolution before anything about the sandbox and game play is messed with”.
I think the Boltshot and DMR are fairly critical changes ranking up there with the rest, but the game needs a hell of a lot of polish in general.
Also, this poll really needed to allow several votes.
I say nay for the same reason I said nay to the nerf of the Double Barrel Shotgun in Gears of War 3. Because it puts the players who are biased for their own, specific OP weapon into the same area as people who want variety and not for the game to be dominated by one-gun. They get to feel what its like for people who don’t think that they should be followed for the simple reason that they said they should be.

How about you scrubs just get good and leave the DMR alone. I am almost done mastering all the UNSC weapons and the DMR is equal to everything, you just need to learn how to use each gun. Everyone one needs to get over the fact that the BR is no longer the god like weapon. For once it can be beat.
There are counters for all guns in the game. Everyone thinks the bolt shot is OP, well I will give spawning with a shotty in your pocket is extreme. However, if you have forerunner vision on you can counter it and adapt your play style to -Yoink- on the kid using it. AKA you just have to be good.

Lmao kid and I should listen to you because you have mastered all UNSC weapons, and know counters? Like where in the hell do you think you have the grounds to talk about a gun being OP if you haven’t mastered everything else? When you master UNSC load out you came talk to be about things being Op. what a scrub, you’re only SR 119 thinking you so big.
Just because you can’t kill a kid who has a DMR doesn’t mean the rest of us should get things nerfed because your bad.
Nothing is equal to the DMR. If I were you, I would NOT be telling others how to play. The DMR is ridiculously easy to use, so implying that people want it nerfed because of their own skill levels in asinine to say the least.
On topic, I don’t really care how they nerf it. They just need to do something. It’s not fun being forced to use one gun when there are a plethora of other weapons to choose from.
If something can be done about the magnetism than that would be ideal. However if they can’t that at this point I am leaning towards a nerf. Its easy to use and the most powerful primary when used in capable hands.

South it’s called play style you and the rest of the tera bad people in the community think one play style should work for everything. I hate to tell you there is a different style for every weapon you just have to learn it.
