I feel like every single game I play is Slayer DMRs. Why isn’t there a Classic Slayer gametype that forces more AR action rather than DMRs in every single firefight?? No fun getting cherry picked across the map all the time.
AS long as they follow this new idea of loadouts you will always have this issue. I personally love that I can always use a DMR or BR and never have to use an AR but to those whol liked the regular slayer gametypes… you are kind of screwed unfortunately.
if you want to use the AR more then spawn with it…

Lol, ARS. I think i found your solution

I’ve never liked the AR, I’ve always hated it. I am glad that I can spawn with my light rifle in every game I play, so I have the starting weapon I want to start with in every game. I hated being forced to play with a weapon that I couldn’t stand, and spend the first 30 seconds of every life trying to find a weapon I could use.
On top of that, I love that I own the weapon I spawn with. I earned and bought that weapon, and it is mine. I love MY light rifle 
i would like to disagree and agree at the same time on this subject.
i am not sure which i feel; if the BR should be 4 shot or if the DMR should be more shots…
i agree because i feel that it is rather disappointing only running into DMR users in this game when there are 4 other precision rifles in the game.
it gets old getting in the same firefight in slightly different situations. there seems to be a lacking of diversity in weapon choice as well as fire exchange.
sure i am all for the DMR or BR which ever people deem the best.
i just feel that there being four different precision weapons and people only using one, just because “it is the most effective rifle” is kind of … mind numbing …
i feel that maybe the game/guns should be of personal preference, with the BR and DMR being virtually the same stats. (minus the recoil and bloom, that is fine and should be there.)
i understand yes the BR is meant for close quarter to medium range and DMR is for medium to long range. but what is happening for the most part is that people are just using the DMR as an all around because they know it preforms the best which once again brings me to my point that there is no originality or diverse firefights. i feel that maybe the guns being based on just personal preference would; make the guns more well rounded to all guns just not the precision ones, make more variety in the firefights. as well as DMR not always BEATING every other gun in the game.
not to mention extend the lifespan of the game a little longer… i am not saying get rid of one gun or the other. or make one gun better than the other. i am not even saying my idea is the best on the planet i am just saying i feel that something needs to be done. because people seem to argue one way or another let it be for the BR or against it.
yeah if I spawn with it i get raped by the DMR. thats the point i am making. the DMR is the heart and soul of the game. there is no emphasis on any of the other weapons when the DMR is available at all times.
But it is still a shame that the Light Rifle will get Pwned by the DMR… I guessI’m just in the mindset of previous halo multiplaying, where you actually have to go and retrieve weapons like the DMR (that earned you the ability to kill someone from across the map).
I just miss the close quarter assault rifle action with a mix of DMRs. Not a close quarter firefight with nothing other than DMRs. If you see two people its almost an automatic death.
If it’s a close quarters map the AR is actually pretty effective.
i use the light rifle… and still get over 20 kills a game…
Please don’t say the AR is underpowerd. if anything its OP.
its takes barely any skill to use an automatic weapon there for it must be weaker.
the dmr recoil should increase,
and br, carabine, lightrifle need a little buff. that it will be balanced
Everyone can use DMR’s all they want. I’ve currently got the BR as my tool of destruction =)

AR is for -Yoink!- that can’t aim worth -Yoink-. Even your AR can’t stand against 4 bursts of my BR. How about you learn how to use a real weapon and save the AR for the campaign, where it belongs (but only cause you ran out of ammo for everything else).
AR has its uses. If you get within range it messes up the BR and DMR. I use it more as a side arm though.
I would rape you using the DMR dude. I’m just saying it gets old that EVERY SINGLE GAME will be Slayer DMRs from here on out.

Actually, read the posts above: people use the BR and the LR quite a bit. I rarely start a match with the DMR (I prefer my trusty BR), and I don’t run out in the middle of a map so people that do start with the DMR can have a free lunch.
Maybe if you used some actual tactics instead of complaining about DMR’s you wouldn’t be eating as many bullets.
I am questioning the game types. These weapons are all within the same type of family (long range, powerful, semi-auto, etc.)… It just seems as if every game will be a type of Slayer DMRs with the way the load-outs always grant u the ability to.
All I’m saying is that I’d like to see some Classic Slayer.
AR starts were always hated because of their luck factor.
I’m glad that they are limited now.
Cortana pov? I’d love to see that. How much?
I haven’t had this problem. I’ve spawned with the Carbine in the majority of my matches and have beaten people who were using the DMR. Like I’ve just said in another thread, it’s far too early to determine balance issues with guns. Wait it out, and if the problems persist then 343i should look into buffing the BR a little. ONLY a little though.
