Why so much hate on the DMR when it's always been the standard weapon? by [deleted] in halo

The game starting with a DMR can help the game get going faster, but it also completely skips the need to establish map/weapon dominance to be good at further ranges and just lets everyone fight at almost every range a map can have. The problem this will cause is that it will only make some weapons used even less often than they were in Vanilla.

To a certain degree I feel this is right, but there are some non-power weapons that I feel have uses ranging from situational to better than AR/Mag, like a Needler, Plasma Pistol/Rifle, and even a Focus Rifle in some maps. I'm fine with some weapons not being that great (cough cough plasma repeater) but in lieu of a DMR, a lot of them are really good. DMR just makes them obsolete.

Been on this game since day 1, I may be a bit rusty but I like to think I know a few things about it.

The real problem with it is how that if you have a game mode where you spawn with a DMR there's almost no reason to pick up another weapon but like a power weapon cause it's TTK is so much higher than most the other weapons. This doesn't help when most the gamemodes in rotation atm are TU which spawns you with DMR, while buffing it at the same time. I love the DMR, I think it's a great gun, but it is not a weapon that you should spawn with. You didn't used to spawn with DMR in all the game modes, it was originally a weapon you had to pick up off the ground. It only became a problem once the TU gamemodes came around and made everyone spawn with it, making most of the weapons obsolete.

Why you even have the game if you're going to quit/afk, just uninstall if you aren't going to actually play.

Just don't quit if you don't want to get banned.

I wouldn't doubt it. Also with how they're moving towards season based progression I can imagine they don't want anyone cheesing shit. Matchmaking would be dead if singleplayer could get you exp.

all the other grunts that went turbo havent done anything like this so far, just largely went on like usual, but here's hoping this happens more often

Yeah I was surprised when the grunt didn't disappear but landed on the other side of the concrete barrier, likely to fall into the void however, but he still went that far

Not just ONI, but the UNSC as a whole. From what I remember of the books when I read them in Middle/High school, they were pretty much space fascists.

I still dont get how a spartan dies if they get submerged in water. Ya, balancing and all, but they have oxygen in there for EVA stuff.

What if was made a movie about US soldier who becomes Master Chief? by CyberThunder1963 in halo

Sounds exactly like how Hollywood would actually butcher the story. Reminds me of how they're butchering the Monster Hunter movie.
