It’s bad enough that it’s in the game but to be forced to play with dmr only because some noobs thinks it’s the best weapon, force me to put up with it, happily keep quiting them but I’m not happy about seeing it, being forced to quit because 343i want to turn halo into cod like they did with halo 4!
Are you saying that you prefer the AR Loadout or that you don’t like others having the DMR Loadout?
I only ask because I wouldn’t mind just having the DMR+AR Loadout. I think both weapons are valuable for different situations and different maps. So if you don’t mind others having their DMR as long as you get your AR, it would make everyone happy.
Personally wouldn’t mind spawning with an assault rifle, a pistol but instead every time I see rumble pit lately it was nothing but dmr only modes which is stupid, nothing else… If I wanted dmr only I’d go play swat!
Dmr is the worst thing in the game, personally wish it was in neither halo 4/reach and it had best not be anywhere near halo 5 EVER!
My problem with dmr in reach at the moment is dmr only is stupid. Basically forcing players to have no variety in weapons, turning it into campfest.
Hmm, I’ve played Rumble Pit a lot and I don’t see many DMR only game modes on it. Played some Crazy King and Oddball the other day, no DMRs there. AR and Magnum.

Maybe it’s just today for me but I just gave up on rumble playlist since dmr only was all I was seeing.
I think the problem might be more about balancing the uses of the AR and DMR.
AR was like firing micro-nuke bullets in CE, nerfed into a paint-pellet gun in H2, etc.
Then you have the DMR. IMO it was a decent mid-range weapon in Reach but its not supposed to beat an AR in close quarters, which it pretty much does (probably b/c of the aim assist has yet to be perfected). And in H4 the DMR is essentially considered to be a low-profile sniper - rediculous.

The problem is the dmr is over-used unlike halo 3 where people wouldn’t spam the BR every corner of the map, I’m completly sick of seeing the dmr, they even tried turning the BR into the DMR which is stupid since the BR was never this annoying in the original trilogy.
The dmr is a joke since it turned the game into DMR only mostly where it seems to be anti-everything and then someone at 343i decided to force it into halo 4. Variety in weapons seems harder to get, it’s basically killed the idea of fighting for area’s, turned king of the hill into mostly camping for kills to keep their k/d…
Yup, most days I hate slayer DMR’s.
It’s overused and overpowered. EVERYONE uses it.
I wish slayer pro had it’s own playlist.

Good to know, I’m just sick of seeing it everywhere, the amount of times I have seen the dmr it makes me feel like halo variety in weapons went down the drain.
Lol R starts is a joke.
Man, I wish we could switch… Every time I search alone, I just keep finding scrubs who chose Elite Slayer and everything with no DMR in it… I would love to find people who vote DMRs all the time.

Switching isn’t always the solution, I’d rather never see dmr’s in any future halo games.
Funny, I love the DMR, I choose AR starts just so I could grab one and keep killing enemies so the have almost nothing to fight back with. DMR is as powerful as a magnum but with greater range.
It seems if you like the DMR you constantly play games with AR starts and people that like AR starts find themselves more often in a game with DMR starts?
I’m inclined to believe they are more or less even and were are just convincing ourselves that we get what we don’t want more often then we actually do.

I hate the DMR, but it is the only logical weapon to use in the game, aside from NR. It also keeps thing from becoming a spray and pray, which is what AR spawns bring…
Frankly, I didn’t like being forced to put up with AR starts in Halo 3.
As per your title “All playlists.”
So we’re going to have swat magnums only for swat? I bet that’d be fun…

Halo2 BR dominant
Halo3 BR dominant
HaloR DMR dominant
Halo4 what, we have options?!!?!?
Yeah, honestly everyone keeps thinking AR and DMR is the only options to load out with, but the Magnum (not the stupid 3SK TU one) is the most skilled weapon to start with in Reach.

I agree on most of what you have to say, but the Magnum packs more of punch at CQ.
And from my experience, it also gets headshots a lot easier.

The magnum is good at close quarters, but at long range the magnum seems to be a piece of crap. The DMR just feels better at range, with the pacing of the shots and reticule bloom…
I like both weapons, I just hate the DMR because it’s overused.

I completely concur. The DMR is wayyyy over-used. Ever notice how every time you play Team Slayer it’s the most frequent (REALLY frequent!) option?
Actually, at one point, I requested a Magnum only gamemode, but I think they forgot about me…
If I want DMR only, I’d rather just go play SWAT!
I feel it’s overused, I don’t get much fun out of it.
DMR beasts, got to no how to use it, just a BK
