Since both the BR and the DMR are confirmed to be in Halo 4, I think it would be interesting having each team spawn with one or the other.
The only issue with this is that some people can’t stand to use one of these weapons.
We can balance this out with rounds. After each round the starting weapons of the teams would switch.
I’m curious to how MLG will balance out their playlist and how the DMR will be different from Halo Reach considering the BR has hitscan like it did in Halo 2.
Please keep an open mind as well as sharing positive suggestions.
Da -Yoink-? i thought that 343 were going to forgot the DMR because of all the people complaining about the bloom…
PD: I must be the only one who find that found the bloom pointless

The community is split.
Those who still play Reach either like the DMR, don’t mind it, or just bare with it because it’s the BR’s replacement in Halo Reach.
I personally think having both in Halo 4 was a good move that way people who never liked the DMR have the Battle Rifle, and those who still enjoy Reach can use the DMR.
I just wonder if the DMR will have 85% bloom or maybe an option to change the bloom built in.
Possibly a change in the rate of fire to make both weapons balanced to each other.
There’s also the issue of each weapon’s amount of zoom.

Then you must not know that bloom Isn’t returning, there bringing recoil back.
And personally I think it’s cool that there doing this, if you like the BR you use the BR, and if you like the DMR you use the DMR, I can’t wait to use both

I’m not sure if they confirmed that they’re not using bloom for every weapon though. Wasn’t it only confirmed that recoil was being used for the Battle Rifle?

Frankie wasn’t in the podcast… give credit where credit is due…
Sounds cool, I love both guns. But you would get people arguing over unfair gameplay, a mid to close range vs a long to mid ranged weapon. Which I don’t disagree with.

I would enjoy this as well, but only if they balanced the weapons to where it would be fair for each team. i.e.) The BR is burst/med range(in its Halo 3 config) while the DMR is single/med-long range (in its Reach config). Hopefully the changes made to each gun make it possible!

That seems fun, but the only problem with that is the BR useing team would always win.

Lol dude i had this exact same idea of br vs. dmr playist. In which their are 2 rounds
one side spawns with dmr’s the other with br’s. the score limit is 50 and the team that gets the first 25 kills ends that round, then the next round begins and the guns are switched. Also to make it even more different, if you have a dmr you cannot pick-up a br and vice versa.

The BR is more accurate, shoots faster, and does more damage.

pretty much this
including them both is a pretty logical choice considering the split in the community and i don’t think anyone is opposed to just their inclusion
we don’t know how their mechanics will work or if one will be secondary to the other - it’s possible that one will be the main utility weapon and the other will be a pickup
there may be some cause for concern down the road when we can get a better understanding of how they will work and if they can coexist but it’s still up in the air right now
