I'm assuming from you're post that you play the terrible playlists

I'm assuming from your post that you haven't passed 6th grade English. All jokes aside, I am honestly one of the better positioned players in BTB. I am usually the one getting all of these easy kills. I can already tell how narrow minded you are (All playlists suck outside of MLG? Good joke.) If I can get a 5 shot across Hemorrhage, the weapon is imbalanced.

And given! See near the bottom. It's the best I can do, aside from making them, which I would consider if you wanted to drive all the way to me.

Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

I don't play enough Reach to comment, but I can at least appreciate your argument style. A+ on being thorough and giving an argument to your position.

Damn, I never make that mistake.

Anyways, you're referencing Hemorrhage when you say the DMR is overpowered. That's like me saying the sniper is overpowered when I'm playing AR starts on a griffball map. The problem isn't the DMR, it's hemorrhage, AKA Football Field. Still, the DMR has a long kill time, so I don't understand how you can cite it as OP.

Why is it OP if you can 5 shot on hemorrhage? That makes map awareness that much more important. In H3, you could just run anywhere on maps like Sandtrap because the BR couldn't touch you at range. Your team could have no map control, yet you're going as you please. The DMR should be able to cross map effectively, otherwise you break the sniper and in turn break weapon balance.

Thank you :) I pride myself on actually backing up my arguments.

lolnope.

OP. Thank you. Thank you for finally restoring some my faith in the Halo community. I haven't seen such an intelligent post on here since 3 Legged Goats earlier posts and objections to this pathetic excuse of a Halo game. Thread Saved for future reference. You literally read my mind on this game and how it functions throughout your whole post. You sir, are my hero.

Overall, I preferred the way Halo 3 balanced things. I think the starting weapon should not have that much range. The BR was great, you could fight off spawn but couldn't hit someone across the map.

You are welcome <3.. It's disappointing that this thread will be buried in the next few hours by mind numbing, grammar-destroying posts. Thanks! :)

If you would actually read the entire thing, you might gain some insight. Also, I would edit my post and reword the TL;DR, but some jerks decided to report it, and I'm not able to edit my OP.

wow wall of words! any who reach is a bad game and no bad game deserves a wall of text like that.

i guess. He had a good point they changed to much from 3 to reach it made fans leave fast, when people love something they don't need it to be change to much. maybe updated graphics with a few tweaks from halo 3 would of made reach way better IMO. Call of duty does this every year and their fans eat it up. I don't see why cause its worse than reach on a bad day.

As soon as they change the DMR and the Magnum in Halo Reach from hitscan to what Halo 3 had for it's BR, remove the bloom, and increase player walking/running speeds slightly...

Stopped there, you`re basically saying they should make it exactly like halo 3.
Hitscan does wonders in shot registration, i really don`t mind getting shot through walls once in a while as long as my shots a hitting and not being warrior`d. People seem to forget how bad shot-eating was on anything but a perfect host in H3.

Not exactly, lol, just making it so that the grenades aren't as OP, and that the Spartans not as crippled as they are currently.

I'm totally with you on that part tho. I rage daily due to the number of times i'm killed or red-barred by grenades in reach. It's like once you here the fuse go off there's no escaping, not even getting behind a wall can save you(cause apparently the host doesn't see how that's possible).

Invasion is awesome. They should keep that. At least most everyone plays objective. Well, at least I like it.

Agreed, invasion is great because of its great diversity.

  • 02.18.2012 1:52 PM PDT

Ever wonder what's up there?

I agree.

I always thought that the DMR could have been such an awesome weapon if it had a 2x scope.

Halo Reach maps have to be the worst in the entire series, but the DLC ones are decent.

I wish we could hide our stats in Halo 4...

RC Clone is the anti-thesis of a lurker.

The real problem is that most maps weren't given adequate cover to account for the range and accuracy of the DMR.

Hey OP. Weren't we lucky to run into a elite clan on Hemmorage? I was the guy frantically trying to snipe everyone I could see. OT: Maybe making the bullet disappear after a certain distance would help with cross-mapping.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

1. The DMR ruins the game, due to it's ability to shoot players across the map.


Nope.



Posted by: Wumpa Warrior
If I can get a 5 shot across Hemorrhage, the weapon is imbalanced.

if you are 5 shotting people across hemmorage, thats because your playing btb where the players are so bad they all just wander around not reacting to anything.

if you play in a playlist with competent people you'll notice it takes 2-3 dmrs simultaneously blasting away into someone to bring him down before he can run away.

A 2x scope would be very good. That's actually a genius idea! Agreed. And agreed.

Posted by: RC Clone

Very true. It needs to be one or the other- Less range or more cover.

Posted by: Blackdog Rker

I don't remember, but if you play BTB, odds are we've played together. And yeah, like how shotgun rounds do (though at a much greater range).


Posted by: eraseme


But it's easy for many players firing at once to take someone down at very long ranges. (Like blue cave to under cliff on Hemo)
