343…why, why WHY… havent ya done this months ago :’) 4shot br will finally bring me back to the good days AND AND AND use the lovely DMR without rage messages calling me NOOB and all that junk. and the carbine <3 .
The DMR - I fell in love with this weapon in Reach regardless of what everyone else thought. Until Halo 4’s launch day…
I am a player who wants to win WITHOUT the opponents having any little stupid excuse. And now, this weapon has a different role…the DMR role! if its a mini sniper, this weapon should be deadly from FAAAR! not long, med and close range. <3
The BR - now I can use this damn weapon without the annoying DMR users 5shottin me in a split second.But know that they may be aiming at me across the map. But when he gets too close, Haaa 4shot b****!!!

Im hoping they keep working witht boltshot…although the patch help it doesn stopp camo players to just wait for you to walk by, because for some reason the camo AA is glitched and most of the time the person using it doesnt show up in the radar.

I wish they’d just fix the camo, AA efficiency + Glitch + Wetwork’s stealth can make them very dangerous.
On Topic: A reason to use the BR? Good, i’ll still use the DMR but I like incentive for diversity.
Well, there goes the need to use my AR again…Wished they would just nerf the DMR’s RoF.
> As you may have guessed, the first area that we felt the need to tackle was primary weapons, specifically the precision rifles. There are two schools of thought with rifle balance: One suggests that we should reduce the power of the DMR, and the other suggests that alternate weapons should be bumped up to balance out the sandbox. Both things being said, there can be a middle ground. Looking at the DMR, we currently feel that the kill time should remain unchanged, as the weapon has become a clear favorite amongst the community due to its reliability and consistency. So tuning the Battle Rifle, LightRifle and Carbine against this weapon presented quite a challenge. Here are the tweaks that have currently been made, and the challenges associated with each.
Or maybe it’s used so frequently because it puts every other weapon to shame?

Buffing the other weapons indirectly nerfs the DMR without making all the other weapons crap. These changes will make the other weapons much more attractive choices.
All I want is a reduction in the bullet magnetism for the DMR. It requires no skill to use it as is. Reducing the magnetism will require players to actually play with skill.
So will buffing the other weapons. As long as kill times aren’t instantaneous, what matters most is the relative performance of the weapons, not absolute performance.
I am happy with it, but I hope it comes packaged with a reduciton of the BRs, spread. Recoil and lower magnification are all that is needed to keep the BR from overtaking the DMR or LR’s niche.

Bullet magnetism and Aim Assist should be reduced across the board.
