Subject: Halo Reach DMR Makes Me Go Back To Halo 3

If your good at Halo 3, then you should be able to adapt to the DMR with no problems. I haven't had any problems with the DMR.

He was already dead when I got there.

Dude, like that other guy said (I forget his name) Why hate a gaming revolution over one gun? For gods sakes, just because you suck and cant hit jack squat doesn't mean you should piss your pants over it. Jesus dude.

DMR is far from fine, When you're good at halo 3 you realise how unskillfull DMR really is, Seeing as ur highest skill is 26 any weapon would be "fine" to you.

Why not stop by my File Share while you're here?

Only regret is I didn't play more of it.

If you haven't noticed by now, I'm sort of a jerk.

And if you're any good at Halo games yourself, you will have to learn to adapt, or be left behind in the dust.

DMR is fine.
Time your shots. Bring their shields down with something else.

So, by your logic, the DMR is only bad because you're bad with it?

  • 09.19.2010 12:59 PM PDT

its not just the dmr for me its the whole game itself reach isn't halo everything i thought was halo doesn't exist in that game halo 3 takes more skill then cod reach why can't we keep the br cause players complain about it so far alot of people hated the ar but it makes it in the next bungie is one sided for the weaker players the reason halo reach sucks the cod players took over halo and it saddens me to see bungie join the in crowd instead of being differnt this isn't world domanation its least be like them and the aiming system should be fixed to halo or bungie has changed and will forever lose the true fans who started playing because of halo 1 bungie please keep it halo

...It took you almost three years to get General from the day you started playing, you have no right to call anybody bad.

How did this turn into a discussion about rank? And if you're good at Halo you would know that rank doesn't mean anything in Halo 3.



No it was if you wernt a 50 you absalutely sucked at halo because it was so easy to get in ANY playlist. It was rank didnt mean anything when you was a 50 playing 50s coz i would dump on 50s 50-11 even against HC top 10s.

DMR is good, only reason people dont like it is because its diffrent to the BR that they are used to so you need to ADAPT.

Oh it's better, it's just not balanced for matchmaking.

Ofcourse, it would be balanced if started with it. Although that would simply not be Halo.

"Why?" you might ask, well because the only thing that differs Halo from other shooters is the shielding. The shields give us and extra chance at survival and gives more room for mistakes, but they also makes your think through what kind of weapons you have for different kinds of situations in order to kill your opponents (who of course, also have shields) the fastest way possible.

In close range you would do best to wield a fully automatic weapon, while at long range you should use a semi-automatic weapon for more accuracy. At mid range you should maybe do a combination of both.

Anyhow, the Battle Rifle was a very powerful three shot burst semi-automatic rifle with no punnishment for either being on close range or spamming the trigger. It beat nearly all the weapons nearly all the time.

And because it beat every other weapon there was no need for weapon variety and thus defeating the purpose of Halo matchmaking.

Remember that Halo: Combat Evolved was the first shooter to introduce strategy to a FPS. By that I mean that it was the first shooter that limited you to 2 weapons, and therefore you had to chose wisely what kinds of weapons you should carry for the tasks ahead. There is no point in chosing weapons if one gun is always the best choice.



Yes, the Battle Rifle was better, but the Designated Marksman Rifle is just more balanced for multiplayer purposes.


I disagree. If you face someone who is good enough with the BR to kill you from close to long range, he deserves the kill.

If you think the DMR is bad then you are doing it wrong. It requires skill to master. I wont even bother trying to explain it because people do is whine about "he was doing x and I did Y but he still won WEOW RAGE." Just learn how to use it or switch to Needle Rifle. Nothings changing about it.

It requires more skill to use than the halo 3 BR. If you were good with the BR then it really wasnt that much of an accomplishment I'm sorry

Halo Reach isnt Halo anymore, it shouldve been named something else honestly. More like CoD meats ODST. LOL

Don't Get Rude

I dont usualy reply or post on things like this but where this comment is concerned i will make the exception, halo reach is amazing, 1st the DMR, i see nothing wrong with it at all, if anything it makes me play better, the DMR seperates the good players from the bad players, as you will of noticed when your fire the DMR at it full rate the crosshair widens, forcing you the player, to keep it accurate.

'bungie is one sided for the weaker players the reason halo reach sucks the cod players took over halo'

Even if this is the case, i dont blame them, halo 3 was ruined by the amount of boosters trying to get their 50's to show off to their mates, i feel this problem has been cut out alot more because of the true skill ranking system they have put in, (which, if im honest, i didnt like at first) even if they got a 50, like yourself I2e Quest GF, to boost their profile in a month and get them into a top division, by the time they have got their account back they will be religated from their division through poor play.

I dont think cod has taking over, i hardly ever play it because the online play is so bad, people never gor for the flag/bomb ect its all about the K/D ratio, its basically a game for slayer and thats it, their is so much more to halo.

Some people with agree and disagree with me here, but you got to think, this game has only been out for 6 days and its already a game of the year in my eyes, just imagine how good it will be when DLC gets released for it? heres hoping it will.
