I quite enjoyed Halo 4 as it began, but as the days progressed, I started getting angrier and angrier. Just a few minutes I raged to the Dashboard even after my team won :P.
I just hate being sniped by the mini-sniper called the DMR. H4’s weapons, and maps even, promote camping pretty well. Since the DMR wins against every other precision weapon at all ranges, except maybe the Carbine at short range, people tend to sit in one spot a lot.
And then comes the Boltshot…I don’t need to say anything about the shotgun that you can spawn with. Scattershot doesn’t compare to this thing.
well as 343 releases more updates in the coming weeks that means more maps. Halo 4 is alot more competitive. and you just have to counteract the DMR I have found the light rifle very useful.
Honestly the DMR doesn’t stand a chance with a skilled player up close. But the DMR from mid-range to long range the DMR will win every day. It believe they need to beef up the BR a bit so it can match the DMR. The Carbine too, that gun sucks.
I feel the same way. At first I really liked how much more fast paced the gameplay is, but now that it’s sunk in for over a week, it’s really starting to frustrate me. Halo 4 is Mario Party. I feel like everything is like a roll of the dice… impossible to predict when enemies are coming with power weapons. Instead of having just a 2 or 3 power weapons moving around the map at a time, there’s practically one in the hands of every player. I have no problem with the DMR/BR… but it’s just impossible to strategize in this game! When ever I die it’s like, "how was I supposed to know he had a shotgun/boltshot/SAW/binary rifle/etc, etc etc. I can’t stand the unpredictability of this game.
You think the DMR dominates everything? You must not have tried the Light Rifle. Also, in team battles on smaller maps, I’d actually say that the BR is more useful than the DMR. The Carbine is just crap all around, and I’d like to see it be buffed.
The only camping problems I’ve run into are on Adrift, behind the crates by the lift.

Aside from big team, there’s nothing else that really interests me. Slayer Pro is TOO stripped down and dull, and Infinity Slayer is just wacky. I need a Squad Slayer equivalent for this game…
Just use the BR like I do. I don’t think I have ever been killed by somebody using a DMR while using the BR unless they were really far away. You just gotta be good with it.
