Its just condenced form 15 rounds to 14 so the power has been disperced into the remaining rounds. I personaly think that this gun is great, I think its well balenced and looks great I realy wouldn’t change a thing. The reach model of DMR while fun on swat was the weakest thing ever- sometimes I would look into a crowed of enemies on firefight then look back at my DMR and think to myself “there is seriously no point in even shooting at these guys”. That being said my most used gun or my “favorite” as it says on my stats is the BR, a fine rifle by my standards and I think the only thing that makes the DMR seem OP is the fact that long range is its realm and 343 designed mainly long range maps, so you will usualy come up against a DMR on the field. I think that all of the rifles have their place when it comes to dominating the field in different scenarios, even the Carbine- I think that if you use this gun in a close quarters map in a short to mid range basis then you will see good results as the gun is semi automatic and allows rapid fire which makes enemies panice and cleans up headshots realy well. I use the lighrifle quite often aswell and I find it by far the most fun rifle of all, not the most affective in all scenarios but the most fun, however this gun in itself is a demon and I could realy go on about all the guns and how they acheive ballance but its up to you to find it.
Ps as I have said before on other posts the only gun/weapon I dont think is balenced is the Boltshot for obvious reasons.
It’s not only OVERPOWERED, but it also is the only gun anyone uses, so if you use the Carbine or Light Rifle, good luck finding ammo on the battlefield.
OP: DMR kills faster than almost any weapon and has infinite range. It has bigger clip than any other weapon (you can kill 2 people and take down armor of third with just 1 clip). You don’t even have to zoom in, because it’s bullet magnetism gives you headshots even if you’re aiming somewhere around enemy’s head.
Saying that environment or range has anything to do with it being overpowered is understatment. It beats any (precission) weapon anywhere, anytime. Powerweapons like Shotgun or Rocketlaucher are better ballanced because their effectiveness depends on environment, while DMR is always more-powerful-than-any-other-weapon-mini-sniper-rifle.
No, the DMR is most definitely overpowered. Not only does it take less bullets to kill than any other weapon in medium range (only 5 bullets need to hit, while I believe 13 need to hit for the BR< meaning that you need to land every single bullet from the first 4 bursts on a moving target and then one more), but the sheer amount of auto-aim and bullet magnetism found on the weapon are insane, making hitting those bullets so much easier than aiming with the BR, Carbine and definitely the Light Rifle. If you’re using the DMR, you don’t even really need to scope in at medium range, you just look at the general direction of the guy, shoot a few shots and then he’s dead. With the BR, you need precisely aim your shots, zoom in to get better accuracy and strafe the hell out of the enemy to hope to get a win.
If that isn’t enough proof for you, then here’s something else : in most games on small maps, Haven, Adrift, Abandon, what do most players have as their tool of destruction? The BR? The Assault Rifle? Carbine? No, it’s definitely the DMR. Is it because all those players love the single shot action that this weapon gives us? Because they think it sound and feels better? Maybe a couple, but for the most part, it’s because they know that the DMR is far better than any other weapon available to us in most situations.
But even at long range against the Light Rifle, this thing dominates. Take a look at the Light Rifle and its functionality. No hitscan on its projectiles, a very small amount of auto-aim/bullet magnetism and you aim gets thrown off like crazy if you get shot. The DMR, on the other hand, has none of those downsides and completely dominates the long-range battlefield.
Not to mention that constant long-range battles is what ruins Halo Reach and Halo 4. Don’t get me wrong, I love the games, but the DMR is the worst thing to ever come to Halo, even more so than Armour Lock. Just compare Hemorrhage and Blood Gulch, or Valhalla and Ragnarock. The remakes don’t play nearly as well or as smoothly as the original versions, and that’s because people can just sit back and kill at super long ranges now, completely discouraging close-medium range encounters. Remember how there was a shotgun on Valhalla that was still an extremely useable and even useful weapon? Now think about using a shotgun on Ragnarok in Halo 4… Yeah, you wouldn’t ever use it. Why? Because the DMR would take you out so quickly that you wouldn’t be able to get even remotely close enough to use the Shotgun.

I am close to mastering the BR and AR and already mastered the DMR. I’ve always liked the DMR since it’s introduction and as much as I hate to say this, it IS overpowered compared to the BR and other precision weapons. However, the AR if used correctly is extremely dominant.
I rarely engage in any long distance battles I userly prefer to back out and recollect myself. But I play for close quarters and im sure my opinion is bias to some extent, But that is not because I prefer this weapon its just because I dont get dominated by it on any basis nor do I dominate with it on any basis I think its a ballenced gun that has its place.
I dont see why you guys expect there to be an exact equal to the DMR Halo has alwayes had very specific weapons and you have to play specificaly, you cant just go up against someone with a different weapon and expect the same results.

The definate reason why the gun is not overpowered is because Run and gun, spray and pray asside if you are going 1v1 on dude with a dmr you can always find a way around. Its not even hard guys I dont see why you are so passionate about this. its a gun it shoots bullets and it can kill you…walking into it doesnt help your chnace of servival.

Dude, what are you even saying right now?
Go back and read what you just wrote.
“The DMR isn’t overpowered because you can find ways around it”? You can do that for any weapon, doesn’t make spawning with a Sniper Rifle balanced.
You can “find ways around” ANY overpowered weapon. This is why overpowered weapons only win most of the time instead of 100% of the time. It doesn’t make them any less overpowered.
Oh, and due to the firing rate, aim assist range and highest flinch of any starting weapon, it’s also the best in 1v1’s as well, so you should consider that point void.
Why are you so against getting it nerfed, when you can apply that same logic in reverse? “Oh hey BR isn’t better than DMR because you can find ways around the BR”.
I’m tired of seeing people rely on the most illogical arguments they can to defend things that really aren’t justifiable.

It is overpowered, why? because the kill time is just too fast compared to the BR and also considering it’s a long range weapon, making it a more reliable weapon because you will have the upper hand in both mid-range and long-range combat. because it domininate’s in in both range’s, it make’s the other primary weapon’s wothless.
It doesnt overpower the shotgun, AR, rockets, sniper, sticky det, rail gun when these weapons are used correctly or in their intended range.
The issue that most people have is that the BR is NOT the utility weapon and they don’t like that. The DMR is better than the BR but it works just fine with the rest of the sandbox

It doesn’t have to beat power weapons to be overpowered.
It just has to beat the other starting weapons. Which it does.
It isn’t just superior to the BR. It’s superior to the Carbine and LR as well.
-Yoink- it, I shouldn’t even have to provide evidence. Anyone who has used the DMR or had it used against them for an hour of gametime should’ve noticed something is wrong with the weapon.
