TTL Takes a Deep Dive into DMR Behavior

DMR


From Hoovaloov:

Since the Title Update for Halo: Reach’s multiplayer went live in the fall, there have been many discussions on the changes it implemented. The Title Update most notably impacted the mechanics of the DMR and the Needle Rifle, specifically their “bloom.” The question is, does 85% bloom encourage or discourage “trigger spamming” compared to default Reach settings?

It definitely encourages it. With less bloom you don't need to pace your shots so faster trigger pulls now results in faster more accurate shots and faster kill times. Also this isn't the place to be arguing like kids. It was a simple question that needed a simple answer.

Lotta trolls under this bridge.

This study was well done.  Thorough and well executed work.

It most certainly makes the DMR more accurate.
I'm still not a fan of it though.
Ama stick with my Shotty ;) Smile

Regardless, weapon spawns and loadouts need serious compensation for the changes...also, why is there still a Needler and Plasma Repeater on Hemorrhage? >_>

@TTL Tortacular - "Thorough", are you kidding? I had to do a lot of the statistical number crunching myself.
