I've played matchmaking now for about 12 hours, before you even start bashing me before i can say what i want to share with you guys i want you to know that i think 343 did a solid job on the matchmaking and the campaign is maybe the best so far.
But i can't stop getting frustrated over the DMR's damage AND range, seriously it's like a killer machine itself. Playing Ragnarok is practically impossible because it's way to easy to scope over the map and pick off enemy after enemy. There is never any close quarters fights (that i personaly love) what so ever. I remeber playing reach with the DMR trying to get better all the time so i could win all the DMR duels, and since it had bloom and not as long range as in Halo 4 everyone couldn't be good at handling it, i ended up winning about 9/10 duels with the DMR and that is one reason i played Reach so much. There was an achievement in reach that took me forever to get. You had to kill an enemy across the map with the DMR, if this achievement were in Halo 4 i woudl've probably gotten it a thousand times by now.
All i want (and many others) is a patch that balances the weaponds, making it all about skill and practice, and i'll be happy with the game.
