Overall, I’m very very happy with the way the game is, and 343 has done a great job, and they seriously stepped up to the plate. But there are some issues that really need to be addressed, and fixed with firm timing. I’m pretty sure everyone has heard the concern about weapon balancing in H4(Halo 4), specifically the DMR. Now, it didn’t take me long and too much hard thinking to figure out that the weapon was just a monster, and it’s once again like HR(Halo Reach) - the primary used weapon. If there are any op posers to the fact that it’s most used over any other starter weapon, check your friends list yourself and you’ll see the majority speaks for itself. Now, one of the reasons that I was so excited about H4 is the simple fact that there would be weapon diversity, not everyone would have the DMR as their most used weapon, which things are slowly slipping back to this format. Quite frankly I wouldn’t be so persistent with my opposition to the DMR if I wasn’t primarily a covenant carbine user, but I am, and I should be able to freely use whatever weapon I so choose to - without the consequences of not being able to spar with primary DMR users. Things have gotten to the point where sometimes, I just have to conform to using it because everyone, and I mean everyone in the match is using one and it’s the only way I can actually face a chance against other players; and it shouldn’t be that way, I know that, everyone knows that. Now, I’m not saying “Oh, I should be able to use an suppressor on the map Ragnarok, and still be able to put up against a DMR evenly!” No no no, that’s not what I’m saying at all. When on a map like Ragnarok, DMRs and other long ranged weapons SHOULD be used, and I honestly always use one of them on these types of maps! That’s because this is where the weapon shines, and it should! But, what I have a problem with, is when I’m on Haven or Abandon and I can’t even enjoy using my Carbine in medium to close quarters (which is where the carbine fits) because there is a team of pro players, dishing out one shots on me with their DMRs. Not to EVEN mention the amount of skill it takes to get kills with the Carbine, that’s another topic for another day, today I’m focusing on the DMR, the powerhouse of H4. I hope I didn’t bore anyone reading this, and I’m not meaning to belittle anyone, offend anyone or come off as very hostile, but I do want to see some of the issues fixed that should be to keep the game fair.
