Im not talking about which is better. Im talking about what is more fair.

ive played halo since halo2 and i think the br is more fair. the br isnt as cheap as the reach sniper like the dmr is. its ok at close quarters and ok at range. unlike the dmr at range the br can miss shots and you dont kill people as quick as the dmr which gives people a fair chance if they are shot first.

in halo reach the dmr is like a fast fireing sniper that takes 4 shots instead of 2 which means it kills in about 3 seconds. even with bloom you dont miss at any distance and you always get the headshot.

i hope 343 takes the balanced aproch instead of lisening to the sniper oriented fans.

It isn't our shiznit anymore.

I like the concept of a single-fire utility weapon over a burst fire weapon. That said, I don't like bloom so I'm not sure which lesser evil I want to hate less.

Burst fire has always been more unfair. With packet-loss, spread, and swiping across the enemy for the final kill-shot the skill gap is greatly reduced with burst fire weapons.

I prefer a single-fire weapon without bloom that doesn't make the rest of the sandbox useless.

BR all the way, somehow, it feels wrong hitting someone on the opposite side of the map so easily with a DMR

Oh my goodness, I remember the Battle Rifle...

BXR anyone? :P
Even in Halo 3, without the silliness of the BXR combo, the BR is still miles beyond the DMR.
But the DMR is realistic, and I like it for that reason. But as far as the games go, I'd rather have the BR.

Never was a fan of burst-fire. Always preferred the Carbine over the BR. So, DMR.

I prefer the DMR because it is more realistic combat-wise.

In real life, when shooting at an enemy to kill, we use Semi-auto over burst on the M4 because it IS more accurate it CAN reach out and touch people at distances up to and exceeding 300m, it allows for more accurate fire in a general vicinity of a target than burst does.

However, the primary purpose of a weapon on burst is for suppressive fire, NOT fire to neutralize a threat. Burst burns through too much ammunition if used as the primary method of fire. Recoil decreases the shooter's accuracy, and there is more recoil while using a weapon on burst, which, following simple logic, leads to the realistic conclusion that shooting in burst is more inaccurate than shooting semi-auto.

So, because most people aim to kill the person they are shooting at, rather than make them keep their head down, and given real combat tactics, the DMR is obviously the better weapon for a game such as Halo and will continue to be the better choice.

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Are we talking Halo 2 BR or Halo 3 BR.

Because their is a big difference.

Halo 2 BR was more accurate than Halo 3, it had no spread.

You can blow up vehicles with the DMR and you have no bloom with Br...

When you play ZB, DMR is better than BR.

DMR needs a range cap, lower RoF, and no bloom.
BR needs lesser spread.

Today is a good day to be a Spartan

Why do 99.9% of these type of thread start with....I've played/been playing Halo since the beginning....

And then make comment about 343 listening, like they read these thread, let alone their own, and then make a poll about it, like Bungie is going to do something about it.

Just wonder why people are so dumb-downed these days????

  • 02.09.2012 7:11 PM PDT

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

The Br seemed a good weapon but I definitly like the DMR since its a single shot gun.
