Also, a kitten dies. You forgot that part.
Now you're confusing AR starts as DMR starts.

Actually, when DMR starts are picked, God brings a kitten back to life because he sees hope for the human race.

If you assign every letter of the alphabet a number, a is 1, b is 2, etc., and you take all of the values of the word "MATH", and add them, you get 42. So math is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything.

so you know for a fact that i like the AR more than the DMR. You do realize you formulated a stereotype right there. Try re-wording you sentence a little and i won't bother you about your post.

i admit i am a terrible player but my fav. weapon is the DMR and i always try to have one handy so that i may improve my skill with it.

PS. please don't speak on behalf of a group of players who you yourself are clearly not associated with.


You're right, I should have specified that my statement is general, and there will undoubtedly be AR masters who can kill a bad DMR player.

I admit I have a .85 K/D with the Assault Rifle last time I checked, yet a 2.4 with the DMR. This is simply because I use the DMR more often. Why do I use it more often? Because the DMR is a superior weapon to the AR in 90 percent of conbat encounters.

Everyone has their preferences, but I'm glad that someone like yourself is pushing their limits and trying to get better with a weapon that they can. I applaud you on that, instead of simply trying to stay with the AR and scratch your head everytime you get capped at range by the DMR. Good for you.

Yes I realize I formulated a sterotype. But why do stereotypes exist? Because most of the time they're true . I'm not saying that they're good or bad, just saying that they exist for a reason.

Don't mistake my utter loathing of the retard's signature weapon for a love of the DMR.

Hey, remember when the Magnum could outshoot the DMR if used right?

Good times.

AR starts is similar to how halo 3 players played except without halo 3's signature map control, strategy, and balance,

having AR starts makes people decide if they want to just use the pistol or go get a better weapon, with the DMR this simply doesn't happen.

plus i assume most people don't care what weapons starts is and just vote for the maps they like regardless of the gametype

I don't need to be in no damn' clan, I am my own clan.
You know the Master Chief? WELL HERE I AM!!!!!

I agree with you man, i think for the next halo game they should focus th ar's bullets more towards where you reticle is.....please double space lines in long paragraphs like that, it helps everyone out.

This'll be interesting.


Took Mr. Sanuel up on his offer in the morning. Here's the results. In short, you can be good with the AR, but it doesn't hold a candle to a good player with a DMR. That being said, afterwards we went off to MM and went up against average joes and below average players and they had no chance when I used the AR.

But again, where they good players, I'd be outclassed if they had DMRs.

It still doesn't answer OP's question, but there's the results on the match.

Still doesn't change my AR love though.

Good times.


Question (if you're still lurking this thread): How did you feel straight after the TU when the Magnum was a 4sk?
Personally I felt that was how it should have been since day 1 - superior to the DMR at close-mid range and capable of 2 kills per magazine with flawless accuracy.

At that point the only thing I could fault with the Magnum was the inherent spread which exists independent of bloom. When they nerfed it back to a 5sk it just became the DMR's little brother again instead of a valuable weapon in its own right.

He's a much better player than I am. I take those three AR kills and am happy that I got even that.
