My suspicion is that 343i is going to make all the weapons from previous Halo games return and introduce a butt load of new ones so we have our “expanded arsenal” that Frankie always boasts about. Anyway, if that’s true, the DMR will make a return, but here’s how it could work:
The DMR would basically be a 5 or 6 shot sniper rifle, much more accurate than the BR at long distance, but not as powerful as the sniper, it could work. With that said, recoil could make the gun more balanced and fun, also the amount of ammunition in the clip and the rate of fire could be increased or decreased accordingly.
I agree that it could work since in every halo game you would basically use 1 weapon the whole game besides power weapons. If 343 is bringing back loadouts which i think they are then they could have different load outs with different starters like the DMR or the BR that way everyone has an equal opportunity of using the different guns. This would add some variety, and if the community decides they dont like it afterhalo 4 comes out they can just do a title update or something, or have different game modes that allow both the DMR and BR
Frank said that there would still be a single shot weapon like the DMR, but the way he said it sounded like the DMR will return - he just can’t “officially” say that it will… yet.
If both the BR and the DMR are in the game the DMR will make the BR useless. Assuming they have the same kill times (one BR burst does the same damage as one DMR round)the DMR would be the obvious choice. If you miss even one bullet from one BR burst you would lose to a DMR. So no…no DMR please.

Yeah, I agree. Frank said that the single shot weapon would be the competitive player and MLG weapon of choice. but, the BR will get used plenty in certain playlists and such.

Pistols, snipers, shotguns, and rocket launchers are also single shot weapons…technically.
No, the DMR should not make it’s return in it’s current state. It will over power every single gun in the game just like it does in Reach. The only way for it to work is to reduce the power and distance it shoots. It should be a medium range weapon, that kills in the same time as the BR.
Opinion: I hate the DMR, it’s boring to use and even more boring to watch. I hope they scrap it.
THs could work, similar to the way, oh lets say the cod m16 and m14 work; the Br could be the Br, mid range and fast, and the DMR should have 3x or 4x zoom, with a slower fire rate so you can actually use the weapon like it was intended, as a marksman rifle :3

Are you SERIOUSLY calling the DMR over powered when he have the Battle rifle?
HHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAHHHHHHHAHAHAHAHHA
No…
I was thinking the concussion rifle was going to be the single shot gun since the covenent are going to be back… however, they could just recolor the concussion rifle and call ti a DMR and everyone is happy, and it just depends on personal opinion :D!!
They never perfected the DMR’s bloom imo.
It took multiply manipulating of the percentile to adjust accordingly to the game play. Changing matchmaking’s game play far into the games career was unprofessional, for that’s what I believe contributed to Reach failing to many people.
