How does this Idea sound. Maybe they should combine the Battle Rifle, and DMR into one gun. Then give the player the option to Switch from three round burst to single shot. The Three round burst can be a four shot. Making it good for close range. The single shot could be a five or six shot. So its mainly used for long rang. Also the single shot would shoot slower, because it is meant for long rang precision.This would at a different kind of skill to the game. This would make the player have to know when is it a good time to switch to that three round burst, and this could help with the whole DMR vs BR battle going on. We could even call it the proto type BMR. “Battle Marksman Rifle” so it would fit into the story. Just a thought I had. So anyone who looks at this. Let me know if this sound good or bad.
Whoops I put at where add should of been. 
So the Light Rifle.
You want to appease two groups of people by giving them something neither of them wanted? Bad idea.
Besides, the Light rifle already works in a similar matter and weapon redundancy leads to boring gameplay.
DMR is also controversial because Infinity settings/loadouts and stuff have never been done in Halo before. Halo has always been an Arena game, Reach added a hint of loadout gameplay but 4 turned the tables. Now, we’ve got a game that’s mostly loadout gameplay with a hint of Arena gameplay in it. Loadouts and Arena settings behave completely different, so weapon balancing for an Arena game aren’t going to necessarily work well for a Loadout game.
With people upset about there being no real Arena styled gameplay, and a weapon that doesn’t fit Arena/Halo gameplay standards it’s not hard to see that people will start fighting. Halo weapons don’t play like CoD’s weapons, and CoD’s a Loadout shooter, therefore when you make Halo a Loadout shooter weapons will probably need to behave differently.
Then again, I could be completely off and some may find this post laughable. But at least I’m trying to figure out why everyone can’t agree on these thing.

Hello there, for Halo 5 suggestion there is the Halo 5 Community Suggestion Thread-Click Here also if there is a typo in your post you may use the Edit feature which is in the Menu, just click Menu and then Edit

Yes but, UNSC version for those non Foreunner liking types. Has merit!
But, I believe that they will remain two separate weapons as the people who enjoy the BR would hate to see it disappear for good and, those who support the DMR, likewise. IMO, both a place in Halo moving forward and both must have equal access rights. If one is load-out, so should the other be. If one is pickup on map, so should the other. If one was OD so should the other. That is the only fair way 343i can move forward on the matter.
Yea I hear ya. It was just a thought I had. I guess it does sound stupid, when you really think about it.
Thank you!
> So the Light Rifle.
Yes, but we all know competitive settings have to have UNSC weapons as the starter weapons.
Thus, we have to reskin the LR into a UNSC weapon and pretend the LR never existed.
That’s kind of an in-joke with the competitive community, I don’t think everyone will get it.

I like both rifles and wouldn’t mind a combination, in fact I think it would be pretty cool. It also eliminates the need of having four different weapons when they are mostly molded together.
why is the DMR even in H4 i want to know.According to the histroy (don’t quote me on this but i’m pretty sure) the UNSC “retired” the DMR per say and the BR took it’s place. I think it says it in weapon descriptions in one of the halo games on on way point or something.i know i read it somewhere.So ya,can someone tell me why it’s even in H4?? makes zero sense to me and no i’m not a DMR hater at all.I just like things to make sense in the time line.
> You want to appease two groups of people by giving them something neither of them wanted? Bad idea…
But given where we are at with Halo 4, it really isn’t such a bad idea in comparison…
I doubt that’ll happen, cuz the DMR is by far the best precision loadout weapon. Instead, i want the BR to be like this in Halo 5:

As I said tons of times before, the US army retired the M1 Garand, but invented the M14 afterwards.
It’s not a far stretch to assume they upgraded the DMR or just brought it back due to a new necessity for it.
> Check this weapon!!
I was hoping someone would link that.
No thanks.
> So the Light Rifle.
Um, no. that only switches when scoped.
I remember making the same suggestion back when H2 came out, so Kudos to the OP

Halo Custom Edition is a version of Halo PC that was intended to allow you to create your own maps and content for the multiplayer of the game.
Some people have taken it to the extremes, with Scarabs and Pelicans, Halo 2 weapons, Halo 3 weapons, advanced graphics, ported campaigns, remastered campaigns, original campaigns list goes on.

CE’s pc version has been modded in so many ways…it’s beyond argument and entirely plausible.

True, I played Firefight on Halo PC before ODST came out.
