Subject: Explain DMR Starts

Founder of Team Reclaimer where we specialize in Big Team Battle and Invasion games. We are all about Communication, Dedication and Fun.


As with Viper Skills wonderful thread I want to ask the same question about the DMR.

What is so appealing about starting off with a weapon that has an effective range with a 3x scope, tears vehicles to shred, has bloom that promotes random outcomes, and can ping players across a map with ease.

WHY is this appealing to so many players?

Fans of the gametype, please enlighten me on this.

Credit goes to Viper Skills.

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.

I cannot explain why people like DMR starts, as that is personal preference. Instead, I shall explain DMR starts in general.

When the gametype has been chosen, and the game starts, you spawn with a DMR and an Assault Rifle. A kitten dies in the process of the gametype being selected.

The end.

They can't handle the Magnum, so they took a DMR to the knee.

Forget it man, and get with the countdown. Shake this square world and blast off for Kicksville.

Lol.

It's not utterly useless against power weapons and you can win a battle without ending up near-death and effectively out of play.

I'm listeni- Oh wait I don't give a -blam!- what you have to say.

Because spawning with a weapon that can be effective in most situations > spawning with an automatic pea shooter that forces you into the same situations time after time.
At least with the DMR you have to concentrate on more than just spraying mindlessly.

Spawning with a utility weapon such as the DMR doesn't limit people's potential like AR starts does. It's much harder to control the map's spawns when the other team has effective weapons and can kill you off their spawn if you're not careful. With AR starts, getting caught in a spawn trap is absolutely brutal.

Here's how most AR starts games play out: both teams rush for the power weapons and fight for map control while picking up DMRs/NRs along the way. One team loses the rush and all of their weapons. They spawn in the open, the other team proceeds to destroy them while they're trying to AR from across the map.

True as that may, there was a dumpster full of you. I tried to swipe one, but the trash men wouldn't let me.

Those were probably the defective models accidently fitted with the "cRaZyT101" logic circuit, which was a faulty design. The trash men wouldn't let you take one out of concern for public safety.

You start with a DMR as a primary weapon in every loadout.

They were clearly labeled "Sentox6". As far as I know, "cRaZyT101" models are in the Cool Guy store.
