Picking the carbine up in Throwdown

Games Other Halo

I don’t know about you guys but I’m picking up the carbine everytime i find it come monday.

What about you guys?

That’s suicide

I’m going to smack you with my BR.
Then hit you offline because you’re a bad kid.
You’re going to go negative every game.

Just kidding…maybe.

4

If it works for you, go for it. I know I have had really good games using mostly the Carbine.

5

I find that i only consistantly lose to DMR users because, well…

it’s a DMR

BR users it’s a pretty fair fight.

We’ll see what happens. I’m not a 100% sure they’ll even have them on the maps.

I hope they do. I love me some carbine.

sigh* the DMR will still be in the new playlists at the beginning ):

Edit: Sorry I read wrong, no DMR :smiley:

Carbine is the only way to go. And in my opinion, the weapon of the real pro’s.

Indeed you need very good aim to use it at its best but no one respects that and they all use DMR.

I’d do it for medium range battles, and the BR for CQC.

I’m pretty sure you only start off with the Battle Rifle.

And something people don’t know (or aknowledge), if you succesfully land your shots, it has a faster killtime than the DMR, but only the best of the best with the Carbine manage to pull that.

Yup! Your only loadout is:

BR
No secondary
2x Frags
No AA (I think they’re Ordnance, though)
Resupply
Explosives

There’s no DMR! purl=http://blogs.halowaypoint.com/Headlines/post/2013/02/13/The-Halo-Bulletin-21313.aspx]See for yourself.

They way I read it was they were “thinking” about adding a DMR’s game type. So you could choose from Team BR’s, Team DMR’s or one of the Objectives.
But I could be wrong… :?

Everyone will always have the same stating weapon though.

Yeah they’re making competitive DMR gametypes at the moment and it might make it into Mondays update. If not, a future update.
