I’d rather have the BR than the DMR because the BR isn’t as overpowered as the DMR is because it’s range is limited compared to the DMR.
Also, the BR just feels more at it’s place than the DMR in Halo to me.

People said the same thing about the BR in Halo 2. In time, every once-new addition becomes an identifiable part of the core of the franchise. Except Armour Lock, -blam!- that.
I’d like both. Specifically, a gun which allows you to switch between the two as separate modes. BR for close-mid range, DMR for long range, no bloom, hitscan and fix the spread. Perfect utility weapon.
I dont really care which one is in halo 4 (chances are both will be)
what i do care about is whether the BR will become the go-to weapon again,
In my opinion to have a balanced sandbox the AR should beat all at close range, The BR should beat all at mid range and the DMR should beat all at long range.(not including power weapons which should obviously dominate their range groups)
BTW i do believe part of the reason the BR was so popular was not because its hard to use (i personally found it quite easy to use) but because it was so versatile, it could win at all but long range,
That is again just my opinion,
One last thing its amazing how many posts have had to be edited by moderators cant people be civil xD

I think it was in this interview, but I’m too lazy to look it up^^
Bring it back shooting a 1 shot weapon is boring and is not halo.

How is a semi-auto rifle “not halo”? The CE pistol was essentially a rifle with a pistol skin slapped on top.
No no no I prefer the BR over the DMR anyday. the BR has been an excellent weapon since halo 2 and i was VERY disappointed when i found out that the BR wasnt in Reach. i my opinion there is way to many single shot weapons in Reach, but i will say that it would be freackin awesome if the BR and the DMR would be in Halo 4. That would also go for every other halo weapon that has been discarted, like the carbine i realy miss that gun. and the Halo 2 pistol, yeah i know it sucked, but realy enjoyed duel-wielding that gun and shooting like a mad man.
Sooo, we’re going to bring back a gun that was used BEFORE Halo:CE? That’s like the military bringing back the musket.

Exactly! Masterchief won’t find a Arsenal in the Forward unto down with old weapons.
It’s useless to talk about the DMR in the feature games…

No one is asking for the DMR just a single shot equivalent of the BR.

My GOODNESS, are you kids serious?! The DMR IS a single shot equivalent to the BR!!
To the other kid referring to the BR being more balanced because it has bullet projection, have you played Halo 2!!! The BR was hitscan in that game ;\ just like the DMR is in Reach…
The DMR is a far more consistent and reliable weapon than the BR ever was. How quickly people forget shooting people in the head with the BR only to not have the bullets register… how extremely frustrating that weapon was…
I agree with the OP, i prefer the DMR but i wouldn’t mind a new semi-auto weapon. Also I prefer the look of the dmr.
343 please Bring back the almighty BR. Most of the Halo community favors it over the DMR and so do I.

I have a screenshot of that happening. I was playing Team Swat I shot an Elite in the head. Do to the spread 1, out the 3 bullets impacted his head. He still lived.
Here’s the screenshot.

I never played Halo 2 in multiplayer, because I didn’t had the Xbox then… But I played neraly every day customs with some friends and yes that game was awesome, but its era is over and what should be over too is hitscan! Hitscan isn’t realistic in any way. Todays shooters and future shooters are most playing with bullets that actually need to travel, because it ruins gameplay, like Reach does.
There are always people which are better with something then other are.
For me the BR in Halo 3 was just fine and the Halo Reach DMR is just fine, too, but I prefer the BR, because it is more realistic.
And to answer your wrong point with reliability. The DMR is only so reliable, because of hitscan. Without hit scan it would be a 1 shot BR and it would be more difficult to hit you enemie in long distances like in Halo 3. The short distances doesn’t matter, because if your aiming is good you will hit your enemie, even without hitscan.

Thats only because Halo 3 had terrible shot registration. Trust me stuff like that has happened to me like countless times. If they bring back the H2 BR with a solid engine and netcode like H2 or Reach. Then Halo 4 will be golden and Halo will be revived and saved.
I think it would be cool if there was both in the game.
Why not have a triple burst weapon and a single shot weapon? Then everyone’s happy.
