MilitaryMarine Posted October 5, 2012 Report Share Posted October 5, 2012 Assault Rifle: The old school weapon makes another appearance in Halo Reach yet again, it is a effective weapon at close range not so good for long range, if your into Close Quarters Combat then this weapon should be in your list of choice, but there are some disadvantages with this choice of weapon it lacks overall accuracy, particularly in long bursts makes it difficult well in multi-player. With this weapon at short ranges you can use it to pepper opponents as if the Assault Rifle was a rapid-fire Shotgun (Reminds me of the Modern day Franchi SPAS12 lol) at mid-range however, good weapon control is paramount. If you don't fire in controlled bursts you won't hit a thing. Designated Marksman Rifle: Also known as the Battle Rifle the DMR is a mid-long range weapon also built with accuracy. The DMR absolutely begins its user to aim for the head, and it has the accuracy to make head shots across length of many multi-player maps. Because the DMR requires so heavily on accuracy, it's usefulness will depend on your weapon control it all comes down to how effective you are with the weapon and how you can control each burst, non controllable bursts means you will most likely miss the opponent's head or wherever you decide to shoot at first. If you have the accuracy to score head shots frequently you'll be able to you'll be able to take down opponents in seconds. It's a bad idea to use this weapon in Close Quarter Combat so be careful if you ever enter a building and you have a better short-range weapon like the Assault Rifle switch to that. Grenade Launcher: The Grenade Launcher is a heavy-duty explosive weapon that can do a lot of damage but is can be tricky to use. When you fire you need to keep the trigger down. Release the trigger when the grenade is next to your target and BOOM! They're dead. The Grenade Launcher is great for taking out opponents in cover because you can aim past the enemy's position and then release the trigger so that the grenade explodes as it zooms by the wall the opponent is hiding behind. It is tricky to use in Close Quarter Combat with hurting yourself, however. (Will be updated) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SO7SF Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Well these are the weapons in Halo:Reach. It's a good guide line so far. Needs a little bit more weapons on next one you make. Keep it going! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaguroth Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 May I suggest something? Change the font color to one that's not so hard to read. Blue isn't a good choice because the background is blue-ish as well >.> If you do that, then I will edit this post after I've read it, cause right now it hurts my eyes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wyzilla Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Why is this needed though? Reach comes with its own manual which has a guide to the weapons, that also details the preferred range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zuko 'Zarhamee Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 The Battle Rifle and the DMR are not the same. They are different weapons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliteSniper Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Should I give a tip? Ok, when using the DMR try to shoot 2 times as fast as you can, then wait for the bloom to reset and repeat. I use this and I get a kill like 2 or 3 seconds. It is really useful to me.

Slenderman Posted October 9, 2012 Report Share Posted October 9, 2012 Do we really need this thread? I think everyone has gotten used to all the Halo weapons. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorB77 Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Along with the changing of text. This thread should be moved to the halo reach section despite it's pointlessness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryu♥Hayabusa Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 Not everyone knows how to use weapons yet. Some people still fail with them all. That said, the grenade launcher is best utilized like so: Shoot the grenade at your opponent. As soon as the grenade makes contact with them, release the trigger. I say hit them to ensure maximum damage and to get a kill. As long as the grenade explodes within a foot of the enemy, it will kill. If you never get good enough to use only two shots to kill enemies, the grenade launcher is not for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo Magroto Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 If this is for Campaign, there is already a weapons and enemies guide made for it http://www.343industries.org/forum/topic/4856-halo-reach-enemies-guide/ Plus DMR and BR are different guns (main difference DMR - Single Shot and BR - Burst Fire) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vendetta Posted October 14, 2012 Report Share Posted October 14, 2012 DMR is different to the BR, because the BR shoots bursts of 4 or 3(can't remember) but the DMR shoots one bullet at a time. Plus the DMR is better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobo Magroto Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 DMR is different to the BR, because the BR shoots bursts of 4 or 3(can't remember) but the DMR shoots one bullet at a time. Plus the DMR is better 3 Bullet bursts, though sometimes the BR does have its perks at times, especially when getting headshots on a target thats shields are almost gone *like the one-two will knock them out and three for the finisher* (Please don't bash me for that, I favour the DMR moreso, but the BR is alright at times) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
