This gun needs a nerf! The DMR is a super accurate 5 shots kill. The Reach DMR was a 7 shots kill, was less accurate and had a slower Rof. The covenant carbine also needs a buff to balance it with the other guns.
Reach DMR was 5 Shots actually. And the reason people think the DMR is OP is because you now don’t get de-scoped when being shot. The Whole sandbox is fairly balanced actually.
<mark>The Reach DMR is a 5-shot, if the 5th shot is to the head.</mark>
I have no need for a Carbine or DMR and have yet to unlock the LR, so I don’t know if the DMR is OP’d or just a really good utility precision for symmetrical start games with the LR as the precision to tweak loadouts around to create a superior setup in Infinity gametypes.
Haha, I disagree. DMR and BR are equal in strength. LightRifle is balanced out with ROF, even though zoomed in it only takes 4 shots to kill with.
Carbine has a way higher ROF, and thus is better for taking down shields, as covie weapons have always been. AR can still dominate DMR at close range.
I really like how guns actually kill people in halo 4, if we start seeing all these “nerf” threads this is just going to dumb down the game for casual players because they die too much.
adapt, or don’t play online.
also I hope 343 is smart enough to see that caving in to these babies will only hurt their game in the long run.

These babies are their customers. I see you know nothing about how to run a business.
Besides, I think the Carbine needs a buff: perhaps increase “magazine” size? It’s my favorite weapon so far, even though it feels underpowered many times.
I may not know how to run a business, but I sure as hell know how to ruin a game. I’ve seen it happen dozens of times because of people like OP. Halo 4 is actually GOOD right now. lets try to keep it that way, DMR is not so overpowered that its game breaking, its just a good gun.
If it is nerfed, it better only be a slight drop on RoF, and nothing else. I think that’s the DMRs only major advantage over other weapons in its tier.
I do just fine with the LR and BR when not using the DMR, it’s basically based on who lands the first shot and who places them correctly, nothing more. It’s pretty balanced.
