MLG HALO 4 Questions

Hey everyone, really enjoying the live stream so far! A few questions to ask of you guys.

  1. Whats your opinion on the usefullness of the BR compared to the DMR? I’m not sure because at first it seemed the BR was losing every battle unless it was really tipped in their favor, but alot of teams I saw using the BR were winning, could just be more skilled though, whats your guys opinion?

  2. What control configuration do you think the pros are using? I know in HALO 3 and REACH they used bumper jumper, but a lot of pros are using jetpack in these streams and I don’t see how that is possible if they are using bumper jumper…

Thanks for all of the responses!

  1. Unfortunately it looks like the DMR is just the better weapon. Some of the pro players have played H4 quite a bit now and if the weapons were more equal, we would be seeing the BR used more. Sad, because I wanted more primary weapon diversity.

  2. Sorry not sure on this, hopefully someone else has the answer though.

  1. The “Pro’s” are using whatever fits them best. It’s all about feel and opinion.
  1. I’m going to have to say the DMR is the dominant weapon, but I still haven’t played the game and people keep saying it comes down to personal preference and how well you can use the weapon, give it time and we may start seeing people using the BR effectively.

  2. They may still be using Bumper Jumper but clawing when they’re jetpacking so they can still aim.

BR does look overmatched by the DMR but I’m fine with that, the gun looks like a very good choice for a competitive player. I haven’t looked at the control schemes to be honest, I’ll just get a feel for them when I play.
