Subject: Why every gametype should be DMR start

I definitely prefer the DMR over the AR now that title update is on virtually every playlist. IT'S SO OVERPOWERED. You can kill a player when some of their shield is still up with a headshot, and now you can fire 3 shots and melee and it kills.

Nope.
Yep. AR starts prevent players from having much of an effect of the game unless they either find a DMR or stay in CQC areas, and it just encourages players to not think at all, instead opting to just run around as if they were incapable of any cognitive function, throwing grenades and holding the RT followed by a melee as if it's the only thing possible. Which in AR starts, it probably is. Even I got ToD melee somehow.

And it doesn't encourage weapon variety, either. There is no weapon that any good player will pick up in AR starts that they wouldn't pick up in DMR starts, with the exception of the needle rifle, but they do pretty much the same job. AR starts are stupid.

Why anyone would want AR starts over DMR starts is beyond me, and you clearly know nothing about how the game plays.


Good God, what has Bungie done to acquire such players...?

No, that would be simply know as spawn-spam. If you want two or three shots to take out your shields and then your head, do it in custom. The MM is fine.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

If we can't change the majority of what the people want to play...

DMR should not be used as start unloess in SWAT or DMR slayers.
Too overpowered.

Even though I am a proponent of DMR starts I have no problem with AR starts. I think it encourages map movement to look for other, stronger weapons but also gives the smarter players even more of an advantage than they already have. The first thing I do in a AR start game is find a DMR or a Needle Rifle. Most of the time the other team is so mindless they AR you from across the map and it is an easy kill. I think it takes more skill and thought to have to start with a bad weapon and find something better than everyone starting with basically the best gun in the game (or most used I should say).

  • 02.26.2012 11:30 AM PDT

I think every game should be a DMR/AR start. Then everyone is happy. Unless you like pistols I guess.

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

Banshee dies from 22.5 DMR shots? Try again, it takes twice that.

And if you're suggesting AR starts in BTB, you're even dumber than I thought.

Yes, let's spawn with the most overpowered weapon in the game, which was recently buffed to be even better.

How is the DMR overpowered? Seriously? If anything has become OP'ed following the TU I think its the Needle Rifle. If I can find one, I'll drop the DMR for a NR in a second.

The DMR is by far the worst thing in Halo Reach in terms of balnce

Slaughters vehicle combat, retards map movement, kill stupidly fast when everything else is infuriatingly slow, massive physical impact pulses and low skill gap

When you can kill a shotgun user in CQC with a weapon designed for medium range there is a problem.

How is the person in your example playing? If they're an idiot and charge the DMR user with a shotgun and allow them to shoot them before they get into shotgun range then yes they're going to die. Probably before they get close enough to even get a shot off. But, if you and I have equal health and equal shields and are 10' from one another and you have a DMR, and I have a shotgun more than likely you're going to die.

Even if the DMR guy loses, he'll still do great damage to the shotgun user just by spamming "R" as fast as his little thumbs can bear

You see, this is really stupid

So, getting shot from a high powered rifle at close range shouldn't hurt?

He wasn't charging at me, I had turned the corner and there he was, holding his shotgun. Scared me to death, but I killed him. Shows how OP the DMR is. He was playing like any smart person would.

It shouldn't hurt as much as getting shot in the face by an assault rifle or plasma weapon

DMR needs a scale of damage depending on range:

Short-Medium-Long-Extreme (Range)

Low-Moderate-Low-Very Low (Damage)

you get it?

It should be able to do everything with difficulty, but have serious troubles doing damage to niche weapon users (In the respective niche)

As it stands, however, that is completely ignored and it dominates everywhere

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

If that kid was really "playing smart", then you would have died. You won because the kid with the shotgun was terrible at using the shotgun, not because the DMR is OP.

I prefer DMR starts but AR starts don't bother me. I just switch to the magnum.

Bungie should consider investing in precipitation gathering nets for these forums. The sheer amount of tears shed by anyone who's been destroyed by armor lock, jet pack, grenades, and the AR could continuously operate hydroelectric dams, irrigate farms, and provide clean drinking water for third world countries.

Get AR start and this bothers you for some reason? Swap to the magnum and go pick up a DMR at your earliest convenience, maybe a box of tissue as well, since you seem to be crying a lot.
