If the DMR is in Halo 4, should it be nerfed?

I think the DMR should stay but lees accuracy and a slight less damage

So, we started discussing this on a whole different topic, but because it got somewhat off-subject, I decided it is time to make a different thread about it.

 

One thing I noticed, is that the DMR is Over powering. Not because it's bloom, but because it's accuracy. Not only is it great for CQB on reach, but it also takes the role of a sniper rifle. Because of it's strength in long distances, it encourages players to sit at the back of the map and assist players by getting headshots on the wounded from across the map. This is one thing that the BR did not do. The Br served as a good medium to long range weapon. But not sniper rifle range. In Halo 3, the BR was a great weapon for close distances, but could be out-matched by the assault rifle, unlike the assault rifle in Halo Reach.

 

I for one think that if the DMR comes back in halo 4, or a weapon similar to it, it should lose accuracy in very long distances unlike in Halo Reach. There is a noticeable difference to Halo 3's valhalla gameplay and Halo Reach's Hemorrhage gameplay. For one, people in Halo 3 typically run out and get kills, or play around in the warthog and they use a variety of weaponry. Anything from the missile pod to the shotgun. But in Halo Reach, most players camp either in the cave or atop the cliff side. Players in Halo Reach usually do not try to run across the map in fear of being headshot from any distance by the DMR or Sniper Rifle. A sniper rifle, I understand, but the DMR....

 

Players in Halo 3 had to atleast get to medium to long distance to get headshots with the Battle Rifle. They had to risk getting killed themselves. Giving other players a fair advantage.

 

Now, I do think the DMR should stay how it is when it comes to medium to long range. But as I said before, maybe if it does make it in Halo 4, it should be atleast nerfed to were it loses accuracy at sniper rifle lengths.

 

What do you all think?

 

dude you just gave me flash backs on the discussion we had the other day an how the DMR is far to accurate and used as a sniper rifle! lol defiantly agree with all this.... to add if they have the DMR in H4 i don't see myself wasting the cash to even purchase the games if that's the case lol.... knowing them and if they do that they'll put a patch on it a few months later with all the bitching 343 will get from the community lol

 

 

I agree. I'm not a fan of the DMR, but I do think that 343 would bring it back for the fans, but I'd like to see DMR users go up against BR users XD

 

sad to read that people actually like the DMR! seems to be those who do where the one's not so good at H3/H2 why i say that is the DMR is far easier to use and alot easier to be good at killing people when you sit across map and kill someone who's 1shot. and with the DMR being that accurate and easy to use is why ppl tend to like it, well if you that person you'll come short facing up against a BR! That's if they don't mess the BR up which i dont think they'll do... bring on the BR and get rid of the DMR i say!!!!!!!!

Agreed with Spectral as well, I am pretty sure the BR will come back and the DMR... Well, that stuff probably got blown up on reach. I don't think it would be necessary to have BOTH though as they are fairly about the same except the BR is like a 3 round burst while the DMR is a 1 shot burst kinda thing. And besides, I always thought the BR was cooler and it IS the age of Master Chief in Halo 4. Oh well, guess we will find out soon :]

I guess it depends on if bloom comes back with it. Either way i think it should be nerfed, its just a matter of how much to nerf it.

[Timbit]

i personal dot thinn it will be in halo 4 and the br hill be in halo 4

Every halo has something from the first halo, so technically they use halo 1 as a template but change the weapons
