SWAT, BR or DMR?

HALO 3 - BR
HALO REACH - DMR

HALO 4 - ?

I would guess the DMR, makes more sense.
But maybe you can choose between multiple Precision Weapons.

Perhaps there will be different game types, one for each…?

For Halo 4 SWAT?

Considering that the DMR is supposed to be the more accurate weapon, I’d choose that. I love the BR with all my heart and soul but I believe the DMR will serve as a better rifle in SWAT.

How about both?
I’ve always wanted to see SWAT with weapon pick ups.
Spawn with the DMR and Magnum, Carbines and BRs laying around the map…

I agree 100%

Carbine

DMR is more accurate so presumably better at getting headshots than BR/carbine. Thus - DMR.

The BR is easier for headshots. 3 round burst with no shields… you dont have to be as accurate. U can swipe it or fan it. They even stated it is easier to pull off headshots with in an E3 vid.

That and jsut common sense.

There should be an achievement for getting multiple headshots with one burst of bullets

I don’t like SWAT, but the DMR would be the best for it.

Yeah, because having to get multiple kills with a giant -Yoinking!- laser wasn’t bad enough in 3. Let’s totally do that.

easy. Happened all the time in halo 3.

Imagine… You just pull the trigger once with a BR and you get a constant stream of bullets (3 bullets). if 1 hits the head then the other guy is dead.

With the DMR you HAVE to be on target. So the BR is better for swat.

Depends if you like to be accurate or not, or if you can or not :confused:

Let’s hope it’s Sniper.

What happened to everyone saying the BR is hitscan?

Well if we get custom loadouts, maybe we choose how we prepare ourselves for any gametype…

SHWATGUNS!!! :smiley:

As of right now, the kill time for the DMR is about 1.4 seconds and the BR is about 1.8 seconds. The BR also shoots in bursts, which it is very possible that parts of the burst will miss, therefore causing the kill to take longer than 1.8 seconds. The BR pales in comparison to the DMR sadly and 343 has yet to address this issue. I wouldn’t hold your breathe though for the current state of the game to work out after launch. With having no beta, this game will definitely need a large title update and I’m sure the kill times will be tweaked. It’s too hard to say which way this wind will blow as of this moment.

The DMR obviously. That thing is almost like it was designed for SWAT! :wink:
