I not to sure if both of the guns should be in the game. If the DMR is a 5 shot kill and the BR a 4 shot kill, the br will always come out on top. So really the DMR is only useful until you find a BR…
yes, but the DMR is faster firing while the BR takes longer to finish it’s bursts
I’d imagine that the DMR would fire slightly faster as a balance, but obviously having more Bloom/Recoil the faster you fire, again as a balance…
…but I could be wrong…
Battle Rifle: Close-Medium Range
Designated Marksman Rifle: Medium-Long Range
That’s how the BR and DMR will turn out.
Not true. 343 will make it work. The DMR will be more effective at range due to no spread.
For smaller maps like Countdown the BR will be the better choice. But for larger maps like Blood Gulch or Highlands the DMR will be better.
The DMR has a longer range and is more accurate than the BR.
The DMR has longer ranger, better accuracy, and could probably fire faster due to only having to shoot 1 bullet instead of three each trigger pull (The BR would essentially be 12 shot). However, the BR is still better at closer range.
single shot is much more effective than 3 round burst range wise. Although I hope the brs burst will be restored to shooting as fast as your pulling the trigger like in halo 2.
We’ll just have to see, I think the BR will be the close to mid range weapon and the DMR will be a anti sniper rifle.
> single shot is much more effective than 3 round burst range wise. Although I hope the brs burst will be restored to shooting as fast as your pulling the trigger like in halo 2.
It never shot that fast. You could Quad Shot but even then there’s a pause.
The BR will have some kickback/recoil and players usually tend to never make full use of all the br shots, so the dmr also has an equal chance against it.

The DMR has a faster ROF, has a longer range, and I am sure is balanced out around the BR.
So keep in mind they probably have already thought this through… hopefully.

That would be deadly at close range. To balance this out the spread (and recoil) should be RoF dependant.
> single shot is much more effective than 3 round burst range wise. Although I hope the brs burst will be restored to shooting as fast as your pulling the trigger like in halo 2.
It always had a capped ROF, unless you employed button combos in which case you could get up to a quad shot (godly).
Back on topic, the DMR will likely function like the ZB DMR in Reach right now - 5sk, faster ROF than BR, 3x zoom. It ends up being the same time to kill and has longer range, but is harder to get headshots with due to lack of burst and is worse at close range due to lack of burst. That’s pretty balanced.
This makes me worried about how these two rifles will be balanced with the Assault Rifle. Hopefully the AR is a total CQC destroyer.
I think they need to make a 5 shot DMR with a quicker rate of fire than the BR which should be 4 shot, that a way it’s balanced and if someone is using the DMR, and is more acurate, they will beat the BR.
Just like invasion slayer and the dmr vs. needle rifle, needle rifle loses almost everytime…
they will harmonize, breed and give birth to a hybrid

Yeah like this, its not like you would have both guns in a single game to use that often…
i wish they went with the halo 2 demo and had it the mix of the 2. 3 burst without scope and 1 shot with scope.

Other way round I think… 5 DMR shots = Faster than 4 BR bursts. Still don’t get how they will balance…
