Balance the DMR

[Aethyrvorous]

Its OP

and if anyone knows where I can go to make sure 343i actually knows the DMR is OP then feel free to let me know

 

EDIT

Better yet, make the BR stronger

Here's the thing. While the DMR does technically come out on top, the DMR and the BR are still VERY close. Most nerfs to the DMR would be too much, and would likely make the BR too much better.

Lower the vehicle damage just a smidge, and decrease the aim assist or rate of fire by 0.1 seconds? That'd make it better.

I don't think the DMR is OP, it's just better at long range then the BR. In SWAT, and Infinity Slayer almost everyone I play against use the BR rather then the DMR unless it's a little bigger of a map. At long range the DMR is superior to the BR and the BR is better at close range then the DMR.

This is basically how almost every complaint is. Nothing is original anymore, just people deciding that they want to yell about something silly.

it is overpower and making the BR more stronger will be a real chaos for all other weapons...

 

what about just keep calm and wait for 343 to nerf it? for now you can adapt it, just my suggestion.

i found most of the weapons to be rather balanced. most of the complaints about them seem to be that a weapon made for close range cannot beat a weapon made for long range or similar complaints of using a weapon in a way its not best used in.

make the br 4 shot or give the dmr bloom when firing from long range. or slow the fire rate by a little bit.

DMR is an easy balance. decrease its fire rate and tada were done

The problem in Halo 4(IMO) is that it tends to be a more long range game. And I do partially attribute that to the DMR being so dominant. I do believe that the BR would be more valid if there were some smaller maps. However I think the DMR could be slowed down(Just a hair). Another possible fix, could be just introducing a damage drop off at a certain poing(making it take 1 more shot at long range). Of course, that could end up being one of those kinda varying factors just like bloom.
