H2 BR>>>DMR>>>>H3 BR


I agree with that.
But I do think the BR is funnier to use though (in H2 especially)...

Nah, flipping somebody's Warthog with two DMR bullets always wins the lol contest.

Probably DMR. Doesn't matter though, Halo 4 will have both

  • 04.23.2012 7:40 AM PDT

The BR is the Halo 3-era's child. We all loved it and will get it back in H4.

For a long time I hated the BR in 3. When I played Reach I fell in love with the DMR. When I went back to Halo 3 I was dominating with the BR. I dont know why though, I guess the DMR made me more accurate.

But ya I have no preference, and Im glad that both are in Halo 4.

  • 04.23.2012 10:52 AM PDT

I prefer the BR over DMR. Reason being is nade shots. In my opinion i thought the BR was more accurate and deadly when using nades (for gamers who actually know how to throw a nade) but i do like the DMR as well, but i prefer the H2 BR.

Honestly, I SHOULD have put that in. Anyway, I still stick with BR.*vows to practice with BR, prove fools wrong.*

A zero bloom single shot 2x scope rifle with hitscan and a fixed RoF would be the ideal weapon. This way it doesn't damage vehicles, doesn't overpower long ranges, and (my favorite part) you can duck under headshots during battles.

It's hard to do the latter in BR duels because most people sweep their shots, thus making it an ineffective tactic. But it's quite possible and fun to do in Reach during a DMR duel, especially when the opponent yells at you for ducking and dodging their last shot.

Your idea is good, but I like the idea below better. It essentially combines the DMR and BR together into one, with the benefits of each and the weaknesses of neither. Shameless rip from MLG forums:

The absolute most skillful weapon of this sort would be some kind of hybrid gun that has a secondary fire, sort of like most weapons in UT.

Consider:

1. Burst fire weapons (like the BR) or continuous fire weapons (Lightning gun in Quake, Pulse Rifle in UT) take more skill to track the enemy, since you have to follow their every little movement over an extended period of time, rather than just catch them at 1 instant.

2. The more continuous the stream of fire, the easier it is to get your stream of bullets momentarily over their head. So headshots are easier with the BR or any continuous fire weapon.



If you had a gun that had lightning-gun style continuous stream as primary, and then a single-shot mode that didn't do much damage but killed on unshielded headshots, you have the best of both worlds. Now you force players to perfectly track over 1 or 2 seconds, but then they still have to switch modes and hit the headshot perfectly, as you would with a pistol.

But that's just within the world of hitscan weapons. You could make something with yet greater skill requirements by using slow-moving projectiles that require leading and prediction. Even better, you could introduce projectiles that bend their trajectory based on how the player is moving their reticle, allowing you to "put some english" on your shots. If you made weapons with this level of depth, a basic firefight would become an artform. Every player would have a different style and feel to their engagements.


...I really need to go become a game developer.


TL; DR: Pistol.
Though we'd probably need dedicated servers for the not-hitscan part, still good ideas.

H3? I think you mean H2. BR was crap online without hitscan (read: Halo 3). Better on LAN, but LIVE kinda killed LAN parties.

Arbitor they outnumber us three to one!
Then it is an even fight.

Arbitor > Arbiter.
Arbitor = Rank above Arbiter.

A big thanks to kids that did this to 343 after they heard they get an infection game mode in halo 4 with no thought of normal playlists.

Evan though I only played Halo 3 once, I still liked the BR. I said yes I want it back, but I want the DMR as well. I like burst fire and single shot( for more accurate over long distances.) Plus the DMR has WAY more ammo than the sniper. The DMR is kinda like a "mini sniper"

Lets look at this in a different way. On Reach, two guys. No cover. ONe had a DMR, one has a BR. Melee has no effect. Who wins?(Me, duh.)

BR is far superior than the DMR. The DMR is good but the BR dominates, if you think that the DMR is better, then you're an idiot.

H2 or H3? Because if you're one of those mindless retards who thinks the H3 BR is better than the ZB DMR for online play, then you're the idiot.
