Subject: Needle Rifle or DMR?

I use both, but I prefer the needle rifle over the DMR. Not because I can't get headshots, but because I feel that the Needle Rifle has less bloom.

Comments?

So basically... Waypoint is pro-vanilla?

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

Depends on the bloom settings.

Needle rifle is definitely more balanced than the DMR in vanilla reach. DMR also can't supercombine.

So needle rifle.

Needle Rifle with TU settings DMR in vanilla or BTB.

Needle rifle. It has stronger auto aim and magnetism making it easier to get kills with.

I'm surprised that most seem to lean towards the Needle Rifle.
I only say this because it seems that a lot in the forum seem to consider the Needle Rifle a noob weapon.

Nr is superior although if you are playing slayer DMR's use what your team mates are using. 4Dmr's is more effective than 3dmr's and a Nr.

Needle Rifle. It's slightly more precise, and I also agree that it has slightly less bloom. In addition... moar ammo :O

Please don't hype for games...
They'll just fall short of your expectations and you'll complain for months.

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

I find it funny that so many people like the NR better in 85% than in Vanilla. Anyone who frequently used it in Vanilla would know that the NR is far superior to the DMR in those settings.

I prefer the DMR in 85% because, while NR and DMR are fairly equal at mid range, DMR is much better in CQC.

I like to play Reach for fun. I hate MLG, campers, armor lock, and team killers because they ruin that fun. Deal with it.

DMR.

Needle Rifle for me

At least until a Banshee comes along...

  • 02.12.2012 5:58 PM PDT

I intend to live forever, or die trying,

so far, so good.

Needle Rifle is more Accurate, but believe you need 6 shots.

But remember once Shields have popped, another 3 shots anywhere = BOOM = Kill.

  • 02.12.2012 6:07 PM PDT

Needle Rifle FTW.

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

Reach host ranking algorithm: (a*quit_percentage + b*isMexican + c*(1/KDR) + d*hasGuest) * 100
where a > b = d > c

As opposed to the DMR, where once shields have popped, it takes another three shots anywhere to kill.

The needle rifle's three shots are faster than the DMRs three shots.

DMR suits me the most

But if you miss the third shot, you do -blam!--all damage.

Either way, the post did not specify that the NR had an advantage because of a faster unshielded body-shot killtime.

Anyway, the NR is superior under TU Reach, obviously.
