Subject: Halo 4 Settings: Better Balance

One of the few things good to come off the Waypoint forums, here was something I saw that made the BR 4-Shot, but the DMR remained 5-Shot. What this did was make the BR great in Mid-Range combat, but it could hold it's own against a DMR opponent had the BR opponent been close to the DMR, and more skilled. It also made the DMR a strictly long range weapon. This should be included in Infinity Slayer traits to provide better balance.

Halo: Tactical

I'm either a fool or an inteligent man, depending on how sleepy or angry I am.

I originaly made an account on 07.27.2007 but I wanted to link my GT and made this account. Don't forget your passwords!

What about the other weapons?

And it's the DMRs firing speed (+ increased assist) that generaly makes it OP.

Not to mention it makes you die faster in that game. You should be increasing the resistance if anything.

Why don't people just stop complaining about how their nostalgia BR isn't the best weapon in the game.. Before H4 came out we already knew the DMR was a better gun than the BR.

Just deal with a video game having one weapon what has a slight advantage over another, every game has one.

For long range what's going to be more accurate 3 bullets spread out or 1 bullet going straight? I would take the single bullet any day.

"I get DMR'd every time I go out in the open!"

Well here's an idea.. Don't go out into the open *gasp*, I know it's a hard thing not to do but sometimes you have to play smart instead of just running around not expecting to get shot at when you're a sitting duck in the middle of the map.

How about removing loadouts, flinching, perks and making both the dmr and br a weapon drop?

Why are people so obsessed about balance?

You say it like they are the only two guns in the game.

Because they suck with the DMR.

Your 'beliefs' mean less than dick to me.

Oh yeah, let's make the game even more class-based.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

I would think it has to do with them not liking the BR and DMR, and not wanting anyone else to like them either.
If anything, how about 343 just slows down the firing rate of the DMR a tad bit?

Weapon balance (of non-power weapons) is already fantastic.

Let's not mess these up.

Why don't people complain about the carbine. It has a faster kill time than both the DMR and BR. Oh wait, it's because no one uses it.

Because it has such a shallow clip.


It has more bullets in the clip than the DMR and BR.

Halo without Bungie is like a cookie made without love.

Not very related but Halo 4 makes me wish for a Halo 3.5. By that I mean a new game that is more of the same but for Halo 3.
