The Light Rifle, the Carbine, and BR... that's all we need.

The DMR can go eat a bowl of fuck.

My trusty favorite right there. Burst fire mode is seemingly also out though :/

343i talked a bit about the tier of the weapons in the game. In Halo 5, the DMR will be better than the BR.

Isn't it a map pickup though?

Explain to me why Spartan Armories apparently have access to 110,000 year old Forerunner Service rifles, and why those rifles can't blow up continents.

A) Simulation, they can do more or less whatever
B) Their vehicles and War Sphinxes pretty much can. But when you can just blow up a star on a whim, what's the point destroying a continent?

That's not necessarily a good thing. The DMR sucked in Reach and 4 because the extra zoom and faster rate of fire hindered map movement.

Are you Kidding. The DMR completely broke Halo 4 Pre-Patch. It had (and still) no bloom, infinite accuracy at range, killed faster than the Battle Rifle outright and had the most ridiculous auto aim of any weapon since the Metroid Prime 2 Lock on. It made the BR useless

RomanGladiator · December 18, 2014, 02:22:31 PM

Looks like the SMG kills really fast. That's good, I think every weapon should be useful in a particular situation. I would say scrap the Suppressor unless it has some type of secondary fire mode when you zoom in. Too many automatics, but if Prometheans are back I don't see why it wouldn't return as well.

I thought it was explained in Halo 4 that War Games is just a combat training simulation. The UNSC Infinity was also on Requiem, so it could have collected a good cache of Forerunner weapons to take study

"The weapon is less thick, more slick."

I'm sorry, I'm not buying that combat simulation bullshit.

Why not? Halo 5 is an Arena Shooter.

That new Lightrifle scope zoom looks glorious and menacing. For a second there I thought Steve Downes was doing the voice over.

Assassin 11D7 · December 18, 2014, 04:56:02 PM

It was already shown in pics like over a month ago.

Scrubs, fucking all of you.

The DMR is terribly nerfed in H5 guardians

So good that the lightrifle is returning.

I love the LightRifle
