Subject: Overpowered DMR.

I should start this thread by saying, DMR vs. another player is just fine. im not complaining about that, but the real problem is the fact that the DMR can flip warthogs. Vehicles are supposed to be a challenge to overcome, now when ever i see a warthog i think "i will just flip it with my DMR". In halo 3, if you saw an enemy vehicle, youd better hope you had either an Energy Drain, or you fired a good shot with an explosive weapon. OR got lucky (or just really pro) and shot the driver out.
In real life if you saw a truck flying at you, shooting a semi-auto gun is not gonna make the thing barrel roll.
i know most of you will just say "oh its Halo, its the future, not real life" well so what if its the future. Say there really was a rifle powerful enough to flip vehicles, then that means soldiers would die instantly, or if somehow surviving, go flying in the air.
a spartan weighs about as much as a Warthog, so why can DMRs flip warthogs, but take 4-5 shots to the head to kill a Spartan and all they do is fall down? Because you could say either it is overpowered, or maybe even the vehicles are UNDERpowered. either way, its not good and creates frustrating gameplay

You can thank the stupid physics in this game for that.

yah, and video games should be fun. yah its fun to shoot a vehicle with a puny rifle and watch it flip, ill admit it feels good to do that. But being in the vehicle, you are always worried more about DMRs than Rockets, especially since rockets shoot slower

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

Protip: You're complaining about the wrong thing. The way a warthog reacts to a DMR isn't the DMR's fault.

  • 02.29.2012 7:07 PM PDT

Boltshot = mini shotgun

It's because Reach's vehicles are made with paper mache and are held together with school glue and duct tape.

  • 02.29.2012 7:17 PM PDT

Welcome to the internet. Joy dies here.

It's not the effect of the DMR. It's the reaction of the warthog. They're sentient, you know. Barely, but enough to feel pain. Just enough to feel pain. Poor thing.

Maybe you should have purchase the warthog armour upgrade from the armoury while you had the chance. The deal was up for 3months but you missed out sucks to be you.

~ Videogames are my favorite videogames ~

They should've kept the sturdyness of the warthog in the beta.

Why did they even change it? All I remember is them stating that it was prone to flipping while turning on hills or something a long those lines.
Well no duh, it still does that. Just flips on everything else too now, especially bullets.

I miss Halo. Maybe Halo 4 will change that.

Edit: Lol nope

Bullets from a BR could easily flip/spin out a hog in Halo 3. Same with the mongoose.

  • 03.01.2012 1:08 AM PDT

Not really. :/

Reach.

The Hog was in the middle of a jump. If you keep all your wheels on the ground, DMR fire will knock you around a lot less.

Yes, going 1 mile in hour. Cool!

Also, the first shot hit the Hog's hubcap (you can hear a pop and see it flying off). It's really weird, but if you shoot a Warthog or Mongoose in the hubcap with any bullet weapon, it actually causes a small damaging explosion, and can knock the vehicle around more than shooting it anyplace else.
