I love Halo 4, but the DMR needs to be nerfed. 343i said they would make it hard to aim with, but its really easy to aim, so here are my ideas of what they could do, they should only do one of these, though,
You are exactly right, even with no aim assist it still would have more range than any starting weapon. Or very very little aim assist, so up close is tough.
Damn. Just died a little more inside.
You do understand that DMR stands for Designated Marksman Rifle right? It’s made for accuracy and power. It’s fine the way it is, IMO.
OP needs a nerf
DMR is fine
i agree!

The name of the rifle is no excuse to make it better than all the other rifles. Nerf the DMR for the sake of a balanced sandbox.
DMR is fine as it is.

While I agree with balance>realism, it doesn’t need a nerf. It’s made to be powerful and a long range weapon, which it is. There’s no need to take away from that because people can’t find a way around it. It SHOULD be more powerful than a BR because, well it is more powerful. It’s like saying “Nah we can’t shoot at those Al Qaeda terrorists with a .50 because it’s too powerful, use the 5.56 instead.” It’s fine. I switch between the BR and DMR all the time, they have their roles.
Besides, in the 6 hours of online play I played today, I saw way more people using BRs than DMRs, so it can’t be THAT bad.
Tbh I think the DMR is pretty balanced, but reducing the aim assist wouldn’t hurt. can’t tell you how many times someone has gotten a headshot on me without aiming at my head.
though what really needs to be nerfed is the light rifle. Four shots to kill? ridiculous.

Its only better at range, maps like Hal- I mean Ragnorcrap and complex favour this weapon. Using a DMR on smaller maps will usually mean getting your -Yoink- handed to you by the BR or Automatics.

All of this.

It is overpowered. The DMR beats the BR at any range and to claim the BR has an advantage at midrange is -Yoink- since the DMR has faster RoF and kills faster. If you put two equally skilled players head to head one with the DMR and one with the BR, the player wielding the DMR will come out on top every time.
Just go to custom games and compare the RoF of the two. Both take 5shot/bursts to kill and you can clearly see that the DMR has a significantly faster rate of fire.
Now we mustn’t forget that it also has a 3x zoom making it better at range, better accuracy and it makes players flinch alot more than other guns, so nerfing it and decreasing the killtime won’t make it useless, it’ll still be a very good gun.

Exactly, fighting the DMR long range with a br is the equivalant of trying to throw rocks at a guy over a distance of 500 meters while he has bow and arrow.

The 3 shot burst is more forgving than the 1 shot burst, the reticule of the BR is clear proof it is easier to rack up headshots up close due to it being better.
edit; bigger not better

Of course it is easier to do headshots with it but the DMR still kills faster. Challenging someone who’s using the DMR you have to rely on him missing one shot or you landing the first shots.

BRO DOESNT MATTER. IF THE DMR IS TURNING A GOOD MAP LIKE VALHALA INTO A CAMPING MAP IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGE SO STOP FIGHTING IT. ITS GON HAPPEN
halo 4 is supposed to be a balanced game in which every gun would have its advantages and disadvantages…
NOW the dmrs ONLY disadvantage in halo 4 is supposedly bloom. but as you can tell everyone spams it, and STILL gets the 5 SK… which prooves that bloom doesnt do Sh*t
The BRs Disadvantage is that its technically only good upto a mid range… maybe a little bit further,
anyway i could say a bunch more but no point stop denying somethings thats so obvious… just watch this video. if you come back and still disagree ill slap you. (in halo)
Really? You guys think the DMR is overpowered? The LIght Rifle is stronger especially since it’s a four shot and it has two firing modes.
I think in regular Slayer at mid-close range battles the DMR is balanced with the BR. When it gets to BTB you just get cross-mapped by DMR’s the entire game. (Why I made a Loadout for BTB) I personally like the BR the best cause it fits my Mid-Range combat style.
