I agree, remove hitscan from the DMR and tone down the damage a little and all will be well again.

We have small maps that do that, problem is that they are not in the normal map cycle, as they are variants of other maps. I just used the DMR for the first time and i could still take on AR's and BR's at close, medium, and long range. So even in the hands of someone who has never used it, the DMR is still overpowered.

If the DMR takes five headshots to kill, then why are so many people boasting about four shot body drops from full shields? Apparantlly if it takes five headshots to kill someone, then someone at 343 got the damage multipliers mixed up. Okay, so i just went and used the DMR, i didn't buy it, i only used the extra class that comes with it. we were playing on complex with infinity slayer. I placed top amongst my team and we won, every kill i got was with a headshot and the only way they killed me was when i ran out of ammo and had to use the magnum. So, yes, having used it myself, the DMR needs a nerf.

In my opinion, having played most of the multiplayer halo games, the DMR is indeed overpowered compaired to other weapons, the only other weapon that can drop a player faster at long range is a sniper, binary cannon, or the spartan laser. The DMR, as is, allows players to essentally spawn in with a sniper rifle. This is hardly fair to the other team. While it may be overpowered at closer ranges, a quick melee and two shots from the DMR will still bring down nearly anyone. The only way to be save from the DMR is to either stay inside (which almost no maps have adequate indoor sections to facilitate staying inside as an effective tactic.) Or to counter with either a long range power weapon (Sniper, rail gun, spartan laser, binary cannon) but even then, the DMR still has a faster fire rate than all of those weapons, and nearly as much power as a sniper rifle. So yes, the DMR needs a heavy damage drop along with perhaps even a clip size reduction, it could be considered a power weapon as it currently stands.
