Compared to the 3 shot pistol, the DMR would be underpowered. If I am wrong on something please tell me. Oh and Im also not hating on the 3 shot pistol.

I’m confused what the TU is now, Because a 3sk magnum with the Reach magnums RoF will own everything lol we’ll have to wait and see.
Yeah if the Pistol had CE rate of fire, I think it would be fine

The magnum is only effective close range, not mid range. The DMR still fits that niche
Then what about the assault rifle?
Hopefully they leave it out the classic playlist only so theres no competition between the two. So far with some of the videos it looks to be either a 4 shot kill or the same 5 shot which is akward considering we’ll have a 3 shot kill weapon that has similar range
It can burn in a fire. Within a fire. Within a nuclear explosion.
I don’t want the bad memories to bubble up.
If it’s stats stay the same it could placed on the map as a pickup weapon, and used as a back up. Other than that it’d be pretty useless. The DMR is an all purpose spawn weapon, and so is the 3sk Pistol, so my guess is they’re going to pull it from the classic playlists, since the 3sk pistol would be so much more dominant.
But who knows, maybe the DMR will have a faster rate of fire and have more range, and will still have it’s use as an in between weapon of the pistol and sniper.

Well if its classic as in Halo CE playlist settings then it will be all about the Magnum and AR, with no DMR at all.

Yes that’s what they should do! Make the DMR have a faster ROF than the pistol
There is more than likely going to be different gametypes. Not every classic gametype will have the 3 shot magnum.
Well the Magnum becomes more of a close-mid range versatile weapon and the DMR/N’ifle relegated even more to of a long range niche. I don’t think I would mind spawning with the more powerful magnum in BTB and have DMR/N’ifles as pick ups. They will definitley have a place.
What I’m worried about is the non headshot weapons, especially covy ones.

Oh really? I didn’t know this
Who cares? The DMR is not a classic weapon and should remain in Reach MM where it belongs. The pistol has higher aim skill and it was made to emulate the CE pistol which makes it 100000 times better than the DMR will ever be.
The highly overpowered pistol will ONLY be in the Classic playlist. The DMR will remain outside the classic playlist and in regular Reach multiplayer.
All they have to do is slow down the ROF for it and it’ll be ok.

Finally rendered obsolete. A fate it definitely deserves.
puts on flame suit
I’m cool with the 3 shot pistol, but honestly think it should still have the bloom (like all weapons, sorry guys i’m no bloom hater). It would be really good and useful, but it wouldn’t be over powered like it was in halo 1. Heck, like OP says it will even be more over powered in Reach if it stays with no bloom because of the faster rate of fire.
I think taking bloom out of the game is really going to mess with the balance of a lot of things, which is why I’ll probably (for the most part) stick to the normal playlists.

why would it deserve that?

I gotta admit I lold, but im guessing the AR and PR(stun maybe?) will be buffed in the classic playlist with bigger clips.
