Halo DMR fallen out of favor?
- Thread starter ptrpedro
- Start date
The battle riffles really the go to for most people now, but in a long range shoot out dmr will murder a br unless the dmr user sucks.
I was a big advocate of the DMR. I loved it. After the update, I will admit that I use the BR much more now.
A more simplified version of how the Precisions compare now:
Short Range ---> Long Range
Carbine --> BR --> DMR --> LR
They all have relatively the same kill speeds, except the LR which is a good bit faster. The only reason you'll see the LR at the furthest extents of combat is because they nerfed the hip-fire mode to be weaker then all of the above.

Can we just say its a hell of alot more balanced than Reach or how it was before, but not as balanced as Halo 3?
...but there were only 2 precision primaries 3 and Reach, instead of the 4 we have now. I'd say that the current sandbox as a whole is balanced better than either. In 3 the primaries were pretty evenly matched against each other, but dominated the AR. In Reach, the DMR was just flat-out the best like 90% of the time, with the NR and AR being somewhat closer together.
I feel like the current state of the H4 sandbox is right about where it should be. Each primary has a pretty clear niche, with the updated BR/Carbine being the short/mid range champions and the DMR/LR winning out at long range. I still hear people complaining that the DMR is overpowered sometimes, but I feel that those complaints are more so due to personal preference than a real game imbalance (at least since the update). The automatics fit in nicely now as well, and provide solid close-range firepower. The AR is even good out to nearly mid-range if you're accurate and have some trigger discipline.

The dmr is still the best if you can hit headshots at close range other wise br/cc are best.
Long rage dmr trolls everything especially since it's easy to use even when moving.
I however never like to use it, I will if a game on ragnarok is really close but otherwise i dislike it for one reason, I hate the look of it, I know this is just my opinion but I think it lacks the elegance of most halo weapons, (apart from storm rifle which wins ugliest weapon ever.)if it looked more like br which is a beautiful gun i would probably use it most of the time.

i have noticed more people using the BR, including myself, but DMR's are still the most used it seems.
any time i use a DMR i kind of don't have to try, so that might have something to do with it.
