Are you all saying that a DMR with little to no bloom is an over-powered, mini-sniper rifle? Wow! It’s almost like Bungie suspected that would be the case for Halo Reach!
too bad 343 didn’t do the smart thing and leave it out

The thing about the Halo Reach DMR was it couldn’t snipe you at over 100 meters and you got kicked out of zoom when fired at. What we have in Halo 4 is a Sniper rifle with 14 round clips.
At least it had actual Bloom in Reach. In H4, its practically non-existant.
The thing was we were told earlier that the DMR was to be a slower gun, hinting that the BR would be the closer ranged rifle with the recoil and faster RoF, and the DMR being the longer ranged rifle due to its accuracy and slower RoF.
Personally, it would’ve worked out for me if they stuck to the original idea. I hope they learn from the game and adjust it later, be it in a TU or Halo 5.
Halo reach was a dmr game. Halo ce was a pistol game. Halo 2 was a BR game. Halo 3 was a BR game. Halo 4 should be a BR game, but thanks to all the reach fans who are like “oh, we wants da DMR in! DMR iz da best gunz everz!” we now have both and they are completely unbalanced. Both guns were never meant to be in the same game, and canon wise, it would have been much easier to leave it out and keep the BR only.
The DMR is the odd gun out. Therefore, it should be taken out. But it won’t. Wouldn’t want the defenders to become the complainers and vice versa, now would we?
All it needs is a little speed nerf. They’ll probably nerf that and the boltshot in a few weeks. They’re running a business, so obviously they want to keep fans around.
The more i use the LR and compare it to the DMR, i wonder why the gun was even included in the game. The LR is arguably cooler looking, takes more skill, and isn’t hitscan. It’s unique scope/unscoped is pretty cool once you learn how to abuse it.
The DMR is simply unbalanced. It isn’t the CE pistol (the LR has more similar traits to it) like a lot of misguided players think it is. There is no drawbacks, tons of range, no recoil, fast ROF, hitscan. It doesn’t take much effort to kill anyone for what is essentially the Boltshot of the rifles.
vote for weapon balance.

Have you seen the number of people online, obviously don’t care about keeping fans around. This game is already $40 new, they have given up.
