so i get from the deployment i was on and come home play halo and i was aware of balancing of weapons but the dmr is freaking pathetic now even on big team battle with headhsot after headshot my dmr fails to get the kills i had before infact i get way more kills with my battle rifle but i already maxed that out so i mopved on to maxing out the dmr and boy is it annoying when im not at the same power as before but i still have a small magazine size and limited ammo for it.
To be fair, it was better than almost any other loadout weapon.
Try to use it in the range where a BR would have to zoom in. and it doesn’t. The DMR’s new strength is its versatility at almost any range.

No its not. Its still a broken weapon. Its supposed to take 5 shots, but it usually takes 7-9 for a kill. The real broken weapon is the light rifle with all the people using rapid fire controllers.

Don’t forget that the BR is broken as well, without modded controllers or anything, just as it is.
As for the DMR, it sucks in anything outside of very long ranges since everyone spams that 3.6sk BR constantly. And even then that’s not very good since they reduced the DMR’s range. I don’t think people understand what a Designated Marksman Rifle is actually used for so they complained and complained and now what we’re left with is a pea shooter (DMR) against a MAC cannon (BR). Just continue to use the Designated Man’s Rifle against the BR (I’m sure you can figure out what BR stands for) and you’ll get there sooner or later.
The only change the DMR received in the weapon tuning was a “nerf” to its RRR
Everything else to do with the weapon stayed the same
Its still a 5SK with all head shots and a 7SK with all body shots
If you aren’t getting kills with 7-9 shots then you are either missing shots or experiencing lag
Before the tuning the DMR was OP because it broke the niche rules of the niche system that 343i tried to implement.
The DMR destroyed everything at any range in any situation that’s what made it OP, instead of nerfing the DMR they instead opted to buff everything around it.
Also, the BR is far from the god weapon some people are referring to it as in this thread.
Ive gone into that more times then I care to remember and I won’t go into it again, all I will say that all the weapons are niche weapons and if you use the weapons outside of the niche that doesn’t mean the other weapons are OP it means you are doing it wrong
If you are using the DMR on skyline and get beat by a BR its because you were using the DMR on skyline not because the BR is OP now.

Then you aren’t getting the 5th shot as a head shot?
@OP If you want to use the DMR, try a gametype that isn’t Team slayer.

oh, im sorry, someone mad because they need to be more accurate with their shots instead of spamming it all day?
some people on this forum…
I liked the DMR better before the weapon update, but I can still use it to my advantage from a great distance.

That’s pretty rude dude. The OP clearly stated he had just got home from deployment, so maybe his accuracy is a bit off. But in any case, there is still no reason to be jerk about it. Man, I really wish negative people like yourself wouldn’t get on these forums just to be rude.

There’s being rude, then there’s being logical…
I’m not calling the OP out directly just to be rude, but because his post is pretty illogical, stating false info about kill times and more or less only complaining about the weapon because it doesn’t match up to everything at all ranges and situations like it used to…
All in all, it’s just another thread complaining about a weapon not being OP anymore… No excuse

Even if it is just another thread complaining about another weapon, give the OP a break. He obviously hasn’t played Halo in a while. That is no excuse for you to be negative. I wish some people thought about how they sounded before they spoke, because even if you weren’t trying to sound that rude, you came across pretty hateful.
On-topic: I don’t really like the DMR anymore after whatever 343 did to it. At first, it did seem a little OP, but now it’s not strong enough. I would have preferred it to be overpowered than underpowered.

Exactly. Kind of like Mario in Mario Kart or tennis, he’s a jack of all trades lol

I wouldn’t say that, I get kills all the time with it still.

I don’t get how I came across as anything other than logical, but hey…
And please explain how it’s not strong enough

>rapid fire controllers
I hope you’re joking. The LR just fires that damn fast now…
OT: I don’t think anything happened to the DMR at all. While the BR, LR, and carbine were all buffed a little, the DMR remained unchanged, so now it’s basically a jack of all trades.

Rapid fire controller do not work in Halo games, because each weapon has a set rate of fire at which it shots are fired. The only way this can be adjusted is by 343 with the weapon tuning system.
All rapid fire controllers do in this is allow the player to leave his finger in the trigger. The gun will still only fire as fast as its allotted firing rate. Its not like CoD where the modded controllers turn sniper rifles or shotguns into assault rifles (but with a heavy amount of kick). In fact the only guns in Halo 4 that would slightly benefit from rapid fire controllers are the Carbine and secondary weapons as they all fire as fast as you can pull the trigger (but still have a minimum set fire rate where it can’t fire any faster).
Last I played the DMR was still pretty good, it is a mid to long range rifle, the BR will dominate close range and is equal with the DMR about mid range I think.

This is just my opinion, but the DMR takes more shots to kill someone (even when I do shoot them in the head). But I mean, I still use it, I just don’t like it as much.

Again, it relies on accuracy, it may feel like it’s more than 5 shots, but it is 5 shots, it’s just harder to hit all 5 because of a reduced radical and bullet magnetism…
It’s supposed to be the versatile gun, not great at 1 thing, but good at all…
That’s it really. No reason discussing more on this
