I was playing Squad the other day and realized that with the so-called "full automatic" on the needle rifle, the bloom is negligible. I don't know if/how much the NR full auto is faster than spamming the DMR, but it was a pretty fast pace. Since it has a huge clip you can take out multiple enemies just by holding the trigger and aiming, almost like an AR except you can get headshots.

My opinion is that the TU was more complementary to the NR than the DMR; i.e. the NR improved a ton more. Does anyone think it may actually be overpowered compared to the DMR?

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

Waypoint isn't pro-anything so much as they're just anti-intelligence.

No.

No DMR trumps NR kill time without bloom and reduced bloom.

ZB NR actually shoot too fast, too fast that if you fire it automatically, you won´t have much accuracy and probably you will miss too many shots. Is very hard (at least for me) to fire that weapon automatically and getting a kill.

NR is just for bad players who can't get headshots.

The NR would be great for Swat. Just sit across the hall and hold down the trigger

Not true for some people i can get headshots no problem and before you say you must spam the NR i dont, I pace my shots with both the DMR and the NR but i just prefer the NR over the DMR. It was the same in Halo 3 i prefered the Carbine over the BR

Life is a journey, if you spend all of it with your nose in your map, you may miss some of the best parts.

A headshot weapon for people who can't get headshots... makes sense right?
