Brace yourself, very rare amounts of core halo ppl kno the very knowledge i am about to share.
I keep seeing soooo many ill informed ppl discussing “how the dmr can be balanced against the other rifles” ect ect. The issue isnt balance, there are 2 issues, one, how the DMR affects gameplay where you consider how the gameplay differs from when a BR is used, secondly theres the issue of same weapon starts, this game, to be a fair competitive game that is a HALO game that plays like, a HALO game, amongst other things, people must spawn with the same weapon however, team DMRs has its issues in terms of gameplay.
Team BRs plays completely different to team dmrs and i assume (judging from not seeing this in any forum so far on this website) that only classic halo players are aware of this.
Team DMrs you can happily sit back and shoot from afar, no movement is needed to get an accurate shot as long as they are in ure line of sight.
Team Brs is different, it requires tactical movement around the map, pushes, set ups, actual thought is required as you cant simple sit back and be effective.
The maps on this game are ENORMOUS and these also affect this in ways.
I feel i dont need to go on, what ive said is enough and requires no more explanation, discuss
