Halo - All DMR Animations across 12 Years...

[@opulenthalo]

Favourite DMR? the new bandit dmr seems pretty cool

[@arcsrider]

Halo reach dmr was my favorite

[@MasterChief203]

Halo 4 is my favorite

[@inductivegrunt94]

Reach, it's always going to be the best in all regards.

[@MasterChief203]

The bandit is cool as well. Like the sound and animation. It feels so meaty. Only problem with it is it's not in the campaign...

[@Ryan_attempts_to_do_stuff]

Prob reach

[@DangerVille]

Halo 4’s has to be my favourite DMR, that thing is a beast visually and mechanically. But the Bandit is great as well, but I wish the firing sound had more of a crack like the previous ones.

[@JackDaniels-ex9mf]

I agree the gun sounds need more of a crack and a more intense metal clang sound from the gun functioning. Also personally Br sound is a bit too boomy, i thought they really nailed the audio for the battle rifle on the halo 5 guardians bersion of the halo 2 BR, that thing sounded just perfect

[@writerlairchannel2636]

I have a confession to make: I haven't played any halo game (because I only have pc) until today, playing Halo 4 - AMAZING so far, the story is incredible (so far), combat is intriguing and challenging on Heroic, just INCREDIBLE experience, I am planning to go backwards in the franchise with Halo 3 ODST (or just Halo 3 I don't know)

[@generose9083]

Why the fuck would you start with Halo 4

[@writerlairchannel2636]

​​​​@@generose9083 its the latest on pc meaning gunplay and other stuff on technical level is the best it can be and from what I heard the story is incredible and so far it is, I played pc beta when it came out and tried all of them other than halo 4 and I started full playthrough in 4 today (so technically I haven't played the halo, just gameplay demos)

[@Swagpresents]

If halo 4 blew you away,just wait until 2-reach

[@writerlairchannel2636]

​@@Ieatbatteryacid_1 then I will be excited for my series playthrough, thanks

[@writerlairchannel2636]

​​@@Swagpresents I will, this is gonna be a fascinating journey regardless of what halo I would ended up loving, thanks

Destroyed as in they destroyed the gun by ruining it or destroyed as in they did a good job on their work with it?

idk reach still better for me bc feels like its better to shoot... in other hand, halo 5s looks way too easy to control and stuff. 4 is ok and infinite feels kind of a mix between reach and 5

[@gharbog]

​@NCRxghost I think in lore it's technically a variant of the DMR, but I feel like they could have changed in appearance a bit to convey that. Like how all the AR variants have different aesthetics depending on the model. It's basically just the Reach DMR with no scope.

[@opulenthalo]

Have fun!

[@Chiwalker]

I think Halo 5 had the best DMR. It filled that niche role of range and accuracy that the BR didn't have but wasn't quite a sniper. Plus with all the options of different scopes, you could pick whichever fit you the best.

[@drhyper6310]

totally agree.

[@Tbaggrrr]

@@Somedude3549 glad to commiserate with you. It always bugs me that people assume you'll unlock a basic weapon within a reasonable amount of time in a luck based system. 🙄 I wasn't about to drop 300 bucks to unlock all the guns.

[@bruhnaw1456]

Ngl I think it sounds the best and reloads the most realistic with the pull back in infinite. But obviously looks the best in reach

[@kratkartan1486]

I actually like the bandit. it's a really decent version of the DMR. Also, I appreciate the animations being consistent throughout all the games it appears in.

[@MCSWAG]

The DMR is my favorite DMR.. haha 😋

[@Niggardly_Dripping]

Cant wait to use the dmr in infinite, just wish that it had a bit more oomph to the start of the firing sound

[@ShishouDzukiZaManako]

adjust damage, replace projectile to sniper rounds via forge scripts, might end up pretty ok im 90% sure that swaps the sounds too

[@GlitchyGamers18]

if only it used the HR sounds...

[@Tbaggrrr]

Halo 5 ftw !!!!!

[@trashcompactorYT]

It sounds much better in-game than it does in this video.

[@TheFacelessStoryMaker]

Halo 4's is the best since it feels and sounds like a miniaturized sniper. I alose love how in infinite the Designated MARKSMAN Rifle has no scope. Following the example of the sh*tty Halo series I see.

[@EliteWarrior600]

Except in Halo Infinite its called the Bandit Rifle. And it doesnt have a scope for balancing purposes

[@davidn4956]

The Bandit isn't a designated marksman rifle, it's just a semi automatic rifle.

[@kuleneko]

i miss the scope. it would’ve filled a little bit of the no carbine or lightrifle void.

[@loremipsum5116]

It actually works very similarly to the Carbine.

[@nick33ee]

If you put a scope we will get another rifle. Again the br and cmd.

Why you had to have an ugly skin on the Halo 5 one? also in Halo Infinite the DMR has an Olive Green skin by default, should've taken it off so it's the stock metallic black!

[@coggnus9656]

You know that you change it back to black right?

[@juandiaz1931]

the new one looks amazing but i miss the og reach shooting sounds

[@rickygforce4217]

Idk I kinda like the CHONK of the new sound, very bassy. The Reach one sounds good but it was weird how it sounded almost higher-pitched than the Magnum in the same game

[@davidknowsbetter8495]

The DMR was my go to because the sound maker AR sucked....

[@KEK..]

I hear a little bit of m1 grand in this new dmr at the end of the mag really cool

[@over_wasd]

The new one look damn cool

[@kylepearce4900]

The only issue with the new DMR is the sound, it doesn't sound as heavy / metalic as the others.

[@KallMeKes]

Reach was definetly my favorite halo game within these 12 years

[@Butter_Warrior99]

Halo Reach.

[@HeiwaHero]

I really hope they add the DMR into campaign (god that sounds ridiculous, hoping a gun retroactively gets adding into a Halo game ugh)

[@Orinslayer]

Why would they do this to us again? They introduced the scopeless DMR in halo 5, and if you were unlucky enough to get that REQ instead of any of the scoped versions you were in for weeks of bad time.

[@greenhunter473]

Because it isn't supposed to be the DMR. In the lore it is basically just a modified version of a DMR but in gameplay it's more closer to the magnum (specifically the Halo 5 version) than a DMR. They basically just took a gun that in the lore is the same gun but as far as gameplay is concerned is a completely different weapon hence the different name despite it visually just being a DMR without a scope. Now that probably begs the question of why they didn't just bring back the magnum instead of doing this to the DMR and to that I say idk. They probably just wanted to bring back the gun but give it a different role in the sandbox that way it isn't over lapping with the Battle Rife (as it's done in the past) or the Commando.

[@Minimumholloway]

Bandit rifle is amazing

[@CaptainDV]

I really really wish they hadn't removed ADS from the game. And I wish they hadn't removed the scope from this weapon.

[@ShishouDzukiZaManako]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK there's so much rail space for the scope that belongs there and why does infinite's sound the worst when on full speed?

[@Orinslayer]

All the sounds in infinite are worse.

[@rayandegnah]

H5 got the best dmr still miss it

[@Sailer21]

Halo Infinite's look more like Call of Duty: Warzone's. Generic as hell.

[@trashcompactorYT]

I'm so glad they used the original Halo Reach design for the new DMR. Really wish it served its own purpose, but I suppose the BR and the Stalker Rifle are plenty. At least it kept its 5 shot potential :)

[@Graveminds]

bungie was a T E A M. 343 is paid contractors. There's a massive difference.

[@joshmayo659]

IT HAS IRON SIGHTS. USE THE FRIGGIN IRON SIGHTS

[@Void_Wars]

Good luck pressing that against your visor.

[@Aurik-Kal-Durin]

_Halo: Reach_ DMR has the best looks. _Halo 4_ DMR has the best gameplay. _Halo: Infinite_ Bandit Rifle has the best sound and animation. The DMR in _Halo 5: Guardians_ is pure garbage. I don't know what they did to it, but it always felt extremely unforgiving to use both in Warzone and Arena. The animations and sounds are awful, and the default scope is ugly as hell. Why they didn't just keep the _Halo 4_ DMR the way it was is beyond me.

[@Falx415]

Seems like they finally figured out what "DMR" stands for with the H5 version, too bad they did a 180 with the Bandit, sandbox could use more variety for the long range weapons, something to compete with the Banished DMR the Stalker Rifle, or even the Shock Rifle. We had more than enough mid range weapons with the BR and Commando and Sidekick. Although I will say despite the lack of a scope the Infinite model is probably my second favorite after the Reach one. It's too bad they didn't keep the better "empty reload" animation from H5, or the non-reciprocating charging handle, would've fit in with the rest of the legacy weapons in Infinite in receiving some quality improvements to their animations (AR and BR, even the Sniper no longer have reciprocating charging handles).

[@justincary4803]

The bandit rifle needs a recoil reduction. Just a little.

[@frostyphox]

Imo halo 4’s DMR sound effects and scope really stood out to me. But Reaches and infinites design looks much sexier

[@REALMARCHINADER]

Halo 5 had the worst DMR imo. Lame design with no ammo counter and the animations are lucklustre. Compared to the other weapons of Halo 5 this looks incomplete and rushed.

[@SpottedHares]

I get this weird FAMAS AR vibe from the magazine. The magazine were intended to be disposable but they held on to them because they did still cost money and it saved them a few credits, but by the end the magazines were so worn and beyond their use they were now finally tossed away, hence the bandit rifle magazine being literally tossed away.

[@anticitizenjuan]

It’s funny how Reach has such an edge in aesthetics that it basically also has better graphics

[@MasonAveKid437]

The sound design in halo 5, DMR being one example, is so weird and artificial sounding. Besides the many other reasons, it another one in the long list for why I never played it.

[@LKNear]

Reach is still my favorite with the bandit coming in close. 4 and 5 made the dmr far too blocky and 5 straight up removed the ammo counter

[@HeyItzHydra]

Look how they've massacred my boy :(

[@KlLLERROBOT99]

Reach is the OG, it also has the best scope, best sound, and in game the best recoil Halo Infinite removes the scope for some reason, btw the Infinite one is the same exact weapon from Reach just without the scope. Halo 5 doesn't even do the weapon correctly as the bolt never moves lol

[@gregviews]

Hey guys we all know what weapon coming next right? The OG shotgun

[@ch33zyburrito36]

Infinites probably my favorite in all respects except for sound and feel. I haven’t used it in gameplay yet but it seems pretty fun to use

[@Apogenezis]

Not a full comparison: no all zooms, no h5 special DMR versions

[@_-_-_L_-_-_]

So anyone know why the 343tards didn't add a scope? Is this then trying to be special again

[@SleepingChimes]

i can’t believe how many plebs are citing any aspect of the design to be best other than in reach. 343 guns look and feel like plastic toys. the newest one is ok but lacks all the character reach’s had

[@Demonyze]

They obviously didn’t know how to design the scope for it so they just gave up and gave us iron sights

[@ShishouDzukiZaManako]

the noise the reach DMR makes is just so good gun model: infinite, reach, 4, 5... all suffer from a charging handle that looks like its trying to tear your chin off... as for 5, where is my ammo counter? scope model: 4, reach, 5, kek 4's scope on 5's gun would look sleek es hell but not what i really want out of halo... and we'd lose the counter. 4's scope on reach's DMR is what sounds great to me. 4's scope on reach's DMR could be fine.

[@zeta4115]

[@soksocks]

It's a weird design choice not to have the scope but it's overall OK imo. But it's still weird how there'a an ironsight rail for your standard rail, because it still needs the ammo counter apparently. Like at least H5 didn't necessarily have it as well

[@CMTechnica]

Iron sight rails are common these days, what are you on about?

[@soksocks]

@@CMTechnica I wouldn't know. I'm just saying since the Infinite Bandit DMR has a rail on a rail, increasing the height to line up with the front post. Again, I wouldn't have known tbh

[@Tenaxis]

It was a smart choice to take away the scope. If it still had the scope, it would basically be the BR and either completely take over its niche or be overshadowed by its counterpart, like in the other games. In this game, it gives a closer range marksman type, unique to it.

[@soksocks]

@@Tenaxis I'm not against by any means. It's just I'm more use to DMR generally with the scope. It's cool regardless in the end for this iteration

[@Tenaxis]

@@soksocks Yeah, makes sense. I was kind of sceptical at first because I grew up with Reach, but I definitely warmed to it and saw the practicality. I'm also just really happy for it to be here, too.

[@Priception]

[@inductivegrunt94]

The Halo 4 DMR is pretty aggressive with its melee animations. And the Bandit really let's me down with the sound. It doesn't sound like it packs a punch like the 3 before it. And the smart scope rather than using the sights on it is incredibly disappointing. I would have loved to see down those sights as I fire the weapon.

[@jamesmichelson5375]

It's trash, just like halo infinite.

[@_yoshivolts_115]

I was just about to say that they should've recorded elsewhere because halo infinite has different gun sounds depending on what type of are you're in, it sounds quieter outdoors and really punchy indoors

[@TheiTzCynical]

I don't like the old reach design for the dmr. It just looks, I don't, the best I can explain is it looks anorexic. Halo 5's dmr has the opposite problem. It looks fat and chunky. Halo 4's was the best overall.

[@johnsonjunior547]

gonna be honest. I don't care bout the bandit rifle unless its a starting weapon. Knowing that I beat the other guy who also had a bandit rifle (a precision skill based weapon) is what I want. Not me just abusing someone with a worse gun. Its all about fairness. Its part of the reason I don't get a serotonin boost from killing with rockets. It didn't take any skill to do so.
