Subject: DMR or Battle Riffle?

Which do you prefer, and which do you see will be back for halo 4?

Both. With the BR, the DMR is useless at mid-close range, so we get to land those sweet 5 shots across the map and have no more DMR spam fights. Win-win.

Can I have a pursuit warthog? (red&blue flashing lights, siren, black and white paint job, gull-wing doors, no turret but a truckbed cap where the turret assembly should be, and the ability to arrest players :)

A police falcon would be great as well... (Black&white paint job, flashing red & blue lights on the wing struts and tail, no turrets and doors that open and close similar to the republic gunships in Star Wars. Kick... Ass.)

Police pelican would be cool too!!!

BR. Even though I suck at it, the burst firing was AWESOME! Like a futuristic M-16.

Pioneer and Enthusiast for Halo 3.

This reminds me of the Beta forums back in the day.
Since I am a avid Halo 3 player, I of course prefer the BR. If I were to look with a different eye, I would say the DMR. It just all depends on my mood I guess. The DMR is outstanding when I am fuurther than a mid-range battle. I see more use in BR for perfect Mid-range battles. However, overall the BR is my favorite. Landing that perfect 4 shot felt much more rewarding.

Name's John. I'm a 21-year-old firefighter/EMT from lolhio who doubles as a die-hard Halo fan. I've been enjoying the franchise since 2001. My favorite iteration of Halo would have to be Halo 2 simply because I never got to experience the joy of a full-on Halo: CE LAN.


If you have any other questions, feel free to ask.

Oh yeah, and boot Zome.

M16's aren't exclusively three-shot-burst.

But yes, BR for sure. Screw this bloom crap.

At mid-close range you use the shotgun.

The Halo 2 BR, the H3 BR is the worst precision gun in Halo history with its random spread, only beaten out by the H3 Magnum.

This. The BR should be hitscan.

DMR. The BR was too unreliable without hitscan it Halo 3, but at the same time was way to capable in all situations.

I have a very hard time using the DMR at the 10ft and less range, and that is how it should be.

I can't believe people are still whining about this. You don't hate bloom. Bloom is a good thing. A DMR without the bloom is just a rapid fire sniper rifle. What you should be complaining about is the fact that when the spread does increase, the shots are placed randomly to any varying degree of accuracy, rather than on the newly expanded radius.

But then Halo 3's version of the BR had the exact same problem, and some people absolutely refuse to complain about it. Like they have a freakin BR shrine up in their bedroom.

  • 11.23.2011 8:26 AM PDT

I'd much rather use the DMR than the Battle Rifle. The BR has a HUGE radius with a completely random spread that you can never control. At least the DMR's spread, especially at 85% bloom, has control, and therefore accuracy, rather consistantly if you choose to allow it.

lol you are all so ignorant, its so cute.

The only way spread was a problem in H3 is if you didnt have a steady aim. The spread was very small, and allowed a great degree of accuracy so long as you could keep you aim straight.

Bloom is actually random, and serves no other purpose than to slow the game down.

The problem you all had with the BR wasnt spread, it was a sub par netcode. That is where all the inconsistency was, that and your aim. If you were to put reaches net code on H3, the BR would have been even better than it already was, which could have been a good or bad thing, depending on how good, or bad you were.

i believe they should have every single halo weapon created in halo 4, in forge at least
