I’m loving the game; best halo iv ever played and I have all of em.
I’m not loving the DMR, (Well sorta)
Just like everyone else I’m spamming it as fast as I can, doesn’t matter what range, and abusing its crazy power right now. Yet I know this needs to get nerfed. If you don’t use the DMR you’re at a disadvantage against the players that do. I want to use the other weapons but I know the DMR will give the most kills since it’s all ranged, little recoil/bloom, lots of damage.
When the game came out I thought the main weapon everyone would use would be the BR but the DMR is just to powerful. The number of players being unique using guns based on there play-styles like how 343 intended the game to be is dropping and dieing like wildfire. Everyone is starting to realize the DMR’s power. So please; for the sake of a almost perfect muiltplayer.
(Besides the game needing more playlists like Team double and I could go on about playlist additions) but Nerf or nothing.
Thats the problem it should not best the br in mid and the ar in close range. It should be able to engae and win at times in those situations but it should beat a suppresor at point blank.
The fact it’s the best weapon at all ranges (might fall off a bit at close but where it makes up in mid/long MORE than makes up for it) means it’s OP. Not by much, but definitely needs to be toned down. I prefer the LR to it but have found myself switching to the DMR midgame just to keep up
no, I have been owning DMR users and BR user have killed me most. Also I only feel comfortable with the DMR at long range so nerfing it is not needed. Only crappy people think other wise lol
Funny…Bungie removed the BR, because they couldn’t find a way to balance it. Yet in halo 4, many people find it to be overshadowed by the weapon that was supposed to replace it.
> no, I have been owning DMR users and BR user have killed me most. Also I only feel comfortable with the DMR at long range so nerfing it is not needed. Only crappy people think other wise lol
Yes because personal experiences are always the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Statistically the DMR is the better weapon and that actually can’t be disputed. Just because you can BR some people who aren’t good at the game and happen to be holding a DMR doesn’t make you or your argument better
Ehh… I don’t think it needs to be toned down… I am an AR user and I tend to kill the DMR’s way before they get off that last shot. and when I am using DMR I find that AR’s and BR’s still get the best of me sometimes.
It is a beast. Honestly the only gun I can find to rival it is the Carbine in small, CQC maps, of which there are only really 2. I will say, though, if you have a good team who can land shots, the BR is great for mopping up kills.
Make the BR a 4sk (1.4-1.5 sec kill time) and the Carbine a 7sk (1.4-1.5 sec kill time). Pump the LRs rate of fire so it’s unscoped kills in 1.6 second, leave scoped as is at 1.3 seconds. This leaves the DMR with it’s rounded up 1.5 second kill losing at close range to the BR and Carbine, competing equally at mid, and winning at long. The LR then trumps all rifles at long and competes at mid, but is trumped by all other rifles at close.
Don’t nerf the DMR because it’s OP, pump the other rifles so a fast pace is maintained.

I like you’re idea allot! I agree that the game needs to be as fast paced as possible.

Read the cmments below yours. The DMR is not a good short range weapon I do see how it can be one. At mid range it’s equal to the BR, but from my time playing halo 4 the BR has had a better outcomes. All I’m saying is nerfing the DMR would be a huge mistake.

Would you people plz stop looking at kill times! A 4sk BR is too damn powerful (carbine should be a7sk though) leave the BR and DMR alone please.
Where’s the option to do the intelligent thing and BUFF the other weapons to bring them up the the level of the DMR?
The DMR is absolutely fine the way it is (except for the insanely easy aiming but that goes for everything in Halo 4). The other precision weapons are simply underpowered.
