Do you even play Reach? The kill speed with the current DMR is much faster than the kill speed with the DMR in this video. At long range, kill speed goes up with the DMR, but at short/mid range kill speeds will be a bit longer.

Reach would've been a lot more fun if they didn't add in the bloom effect, running, and take out dual wielding. Bloom just makes RNG hate you and this isn't a fucking MMO, I don't want to lose to people spamming the trigger and 4 shot me when I had to reset every 2 shots to die to some little kid before 6 PM. Running just makes it that much harder to hit and lets face it, call of duty influenced that and people bitched enough and fanboyed too much. Dual wielding just looks bad ass... I remember introducing it in halo 2... so much jizz. No, I lied, just wet myself... but still it was awesome.

That's completely dependent on the user. No offense but the guy in this video sucked. Just wait til it hits real gamers with same firing rate and no inaccuracy. DMR will be the most Powerful gun in the game.

They better make needle rifle no Bloom either.

For me, the fun is getting the level. We have different incentives to play - neither of us are wrong. I used to make accounts in Halo 3 just to level them up, rinse and repeat.

Fuck. No bloom on the dmr? Guess that brings back all the spray and pray noobs.

The bloom was the main part of the dmr. If no bloom they should bring back the BR!

there are so many reasons why this question is stupid. but since u havent played halo 2 or 3 before, ill excuse ur stupidity.

the ranking system will do so much for halo reach...
people ACTUALLY want to win with a ranking system... they wont go off trying to get kills in a flag game instead of actaulyl capping a flag.
in halo reach, most people dont care about winning... since k/d ratio is the only thing to show off ur skill level, people try to hog all powwer weapons and actually try to steal kills just so they have there k/d ratio as bragging rights...
with a ranking system people will mostly only care about winning and not their indivdual stats because there level is the only thing that is important to them

for the most part, it makes the game way more competitive
it also makes winning more fun and exciting for people

ur prolly going to say sumthing about cheaters or sumthing or boosters... there werent that many cheaters in halo 3 even at level 50... only game types like squad battle had cheaters
as for the boosters... who cares if they have a 50, they know its not legit so they dont get that self-satisfaction that u get when u get a legit 50

there are more reasons but those are the main ones

I'll address this post in parts, because there are so many things wrong with it.

I've been playing Halo since the month CE was released.

Yes, they will, but the number of cheaters/derankers will off-set the number of "kill whores" lost.

It doesn't make it any more competitive at all, it just feels more competitive because your precious rank is on the line.

Finally, something true. It only really applies to casual players who aren't very good at the game, but that's that's most of the Reach players, so good job

Are you kidding? In MLG, I'd go as far as to say that 20% of games had a cheater or deranker in them, and that number went up substantially the lower rank you are. Cheaters in Halo 3 ran rampant, and they did so in every ranked playlist at every level bracket. Not to mention that 1/3 of the players in the low level bracket(Say, 1-30 or so) were second accounts created by people to just run a train on low levels. And of course I'm going to comment on boosters/cheaters, why do you think they took the ranking system out of Reach?

Yes, because cheating/boosting/buying accounts never happened in Halo 3 for this reason. Oh wait...

i sorta dont know what that is either
