Too bad.

Single shot > burst fire.

Although, I did hear that the BR was an addition rather than a replacement to the utility weapon, so hopefully there's an effective single shot magnum or DMR.

Country: United States.
State: Pennsylvania.
County: Warren.
I graduated from high school on June-11-2011. I'm 19 right now. I'm turning 20 in December. I like playing video games, and board games. I like reading Sci-Fi, and World War II novels, and what not.

"There is nothing better in the world than being better at a video game than someone else....oh wait"

The B.R. finally looks good.

Anyway I have a feeling 343 is going to do a horrible job at handling the playlist.
For Example Halo Reach: They updated Living dead, and Griffball. Instead of Arena, and Invasion.

I'm going to rent Halo 4 before I buy it. If I do buy it. It's going to be a used copy.

No they don't need an dominant weapon like in halo 3 they need the dmr and battle rifle to see what is greater

  • 03.05.2012 4:49 PM PDT

Oh man, you noobs must be dreading halo 4. No sloppy bloom to depend on luck... They'll probably take out your retarded crutch load outs too.

There might even be a ranking system *GASP*. You noobs should probably just get ready for those gold bars under your rank.

From the videos, there was sprint and jetpacks. Plus they said there will be some kind of progressive abilites with the armor. So you're out of luck.

DMR > BR

Yup I said it.

  • 03.05.2012 5:11 PM PDT

i find it really odd that when Reach came out everyone was like "-blam!- the dmr bring back the br" but now that the br will be back, everyone is like "-blam!- the br keep the dmr". make up your minds! (i for one, prefer the BR)

Frankie pretty much confirms there will be a useful single shot utilizable by MLG and the like in an Inside Xbox interview.

Ikr. Thats how they are >_>

I would like to see both just for the hell of it even though I do like the BR more.

Yup I said it.

This; with the DMR if you miss a shot you miss a shot, with the BR if you miss the first shot you can still get the other two on.

  • 03.05.2012 6:30 PM PDT

BR for close to mid range and Dmr for long range maybe? IDK.

  • 03.05.2012 6:31 PM PDT

Needs more God Pistol.

Too bad it was holstered when we saw it.

I really hope the BR isnt going to be the the "main" weapon like it was in Halo 3. It just felt so . . . bleh to use. So unsatisfying?

Sorry to burst your bubble, but I think the BR will be the "main" weapon. I mean, did you see the video? The BR was the only weapon we saw... seems like 343i is doing everything they can to push this gun out.

It was the only weapon we saw because no other gun would generate as much hype.

DMR takes much more skill to use. Most of you noobs just rapidly tap the trigger and wonder why you suck at it. You need to pace your shots and go for the head.

Dude, DMR is better than BR. I'm sorry, but I've played Halo: CE back in the day since I was 4 and iKnow what I'm talkin' about when I say this:
If Bungie have took the bloom (or at least make it right) then it would have been better.

Unlike the BR, I still play Halo 3 and when I use BR's against AR's, I usually die.
Why? Because, 2/3 shots missed without notice... (and I have 83.33% actuatecy, so don't start it...)And lots of people in the Community and Youtube users have stated this alot.

In Conclusion, 343i did say they will tune down the inconsistency, so unless they do that...
DMR(No Bloom)>BR

You have an overall K/D ratio along the lines of .85

It's so easy to have at least a 1.0+ ratio in this game.

You can't call anyone a noob.

Oh, and guess what? I spam my DMR all the time and still consistently go positive.

First off... the only way a semi-decent player could lose to an AR user in Halo 3 is if you are literally looking them square in the eye and they burst/beat you down...

Second, lots of people in the community are bad. People who comment on youtube vids are usually bad.

In conclusion: YOU are bad.

Ha, you comment doesn't even make any conclusive sense... Actually coming from somebody who thinks they're better than everyone else in the Community. Even read the forums in Halo: Waypoint people say the same thing.
