It's like it's somehow harder to get headshots rather than a damage reduction. If that's true then why am I doing so well with the DMR? It just seems like an infinitely better weapon now, whereas two weeks a go I thought the Carbine was slightly better.

For the first week that this game was out all I used in War Games was the Carbine. I used to win one on one situations against DMRs, BRs, ARs and LRs, without fail. I used to finish almost every game with twenty-plus kills and less than ten deaths. However, since last weekend I haven't been doing so good. I lose almost every one on one situation against people with any other gun, even if I started shooting them first. I'm extremely lucky if I finish with an equal kill to death ratio, if I do it's because I've used an ordinance weapon to rack some kills up. I assumed that I had just gotten worse at the game, or everyone else had gotten better, so I just carried on using my Carbine for another week to see if I would improve. I didn't. It got so bad that today I changed my Loadout Primary Weapon to the DMR. I played a few games and guess what? Twenty seven kills/eleven deaths, twenty four kills/nine deaths, nineteen kills/ten deaths. The DMR feels exactly equal to the Carbine before the suspected nerf. Using the DMR actually brought back memories to what it was like to use the Carbine before last week, which is what convinced me that it had been nerfed. I went back to the Carbine for another game and I finished with a negative kill to death ratio again. The Carbine is now truly unusable compared to the DMR, which is sad because it's been my favourite weapon since the second Halo.
