do you think that the upcoming TU will change the DMR and bolshot? pretty clear they are OP and need to change but do you think 343 with have the smarts to do it?
Definitely.
343 has their stuff together now.
They know what they’re doing.

I agree that the dmr and bolts hot needs to be tuned down.
I have my doubts…I voted no
The only thing I hope for is balance.
If they’re smart, they’ll definitely change them somehow so they are more balanced.
Hopefully they listened and made a change for the better…for some people this TU is a make or break.
I hope they will but i dont think they would so i voted no
So that’s why this looked familiar…you’re on HTR as well! Hello Lightspeed.
I don’t think they’ll change the guns themselves, the best we’ll probably get is pre-set loadouts that don’t include them.
boltshot-yes
this weapon is not only universally considered OP its also safe to assume 343i think the same given the DICE keynote speech.
DMR-maybe
this weapon is easily the second most complained about weapon but its not nearly as flawed as some of the other weapons I`ve seen.
to be honest HOW they balance the sandbox is more important then when or if.
Absolutely positively no doubt. Those 2 weapons have changed the game thus far in. they will be nerfed pretty badly I think.

no they don’t proof =halo 4
Here’s a better question. When is this supposed title update?
> boltshot-yes

Agreed. I’ve gone through a lot of things 343 could do to rebalance some of the weapons and they need to be really careful when handling stuff like this, as nerfing a weapon too much could make it underpowered and making unnecessary changes can also affect how everything else works. So far, the only things I see that need nerfing is the DMR and the Boltshot, and only slightly. The Boltshot just needs to take down shields rather than kill people with one charged shot. It would make those standard shots more useful that way. The DMR just needs the firing rate tuned down slightly, since that’s the main problem with it, it can fire just as fast as the BR, has more range and is more accurate since only one shot has to hit to cause full damage on the enemy, as opposed to the BR’s 3 shots.
> Here’s a better question. When is this supposed title update?
Supposedly before the Majestic Map Pack arrives, so assume some time before February 25th.
I typically use the DMR more because sometimes I feel like I have no choice. Honestly, I’d be fine with 343 eliminating the DMR altogether and just using the BR, which would force players out of hiding/camping at a distance with such a devastating long-range weapon.
It would also make maps like complex more enjoyable. Hell, you can’t even really enjoy the map thanks to the DMR.
If the BR was the main weapon, they would definitely have to fix the ordinances. Once again, I’d prefer for it to be cut from regular slayer gametypes. If not, at least make a tier system so maps aren’t overrun with snipes, beam rifles, binary rifles, and incineration cannons. It gets to the point sometimes where I feel “Team Slayer” needs to be renamed “Team Power Weapons.”
Not saying my idea is the perfect fix, but I’d definitely feel more excited about actually playing this game if the ordinance drops, power weapons, instant respawn, and dmr were all fixed.
they should make dmr and bolt on map only
or balance them atleast
343 wont do anything u can quote me on that
i recently switched to the magnum after having boltshot for awhile… not like i used boltshot much to begin with. the boltshots range is absolutely nuts. still i find having a magnum to be situationally more useful especially if you run out of ammo for your rifle. can still engage at midrange
