How to shoot like a pro with Halo Reach DMR

Website design By BotEap.comThe Halo reach DMR is replacing the Br from Halo 3 as the primary mid-range weapon. The DMR is a hit scanning weapon, which means that your shot will instantly register much like the sniper in Halo 3. The main difference you will notice right away is that the DMR is a single shot weapon. The BR was, of course, a 3-round burst weapon. During Halo Reach Beta, it took 5 near-perfect shots to kill an enemy. The BR was known to be a 4-shot weapon in the hands of a skilled player.

If the weapon damage does not increase on the actual launch of the game, this means that you can kill 3 enemies per clip if you perfect 5 shots. Rumor has it that the bloom has been reduced, this should make this weapon more manageable than the version that was in Halo Reach Beta.

This is even more important than in Halo 3, as the DMR at least for now needs 5 shots instead of 4 to kill. So make sure you learn all the calls so you can team up DMR with your enemies.

Website design By BotEap.comWhen you transition from BR to DMR and Halo 3 to Reach, the biggest difference in the shoot is the flourishing of the reticle. This means that you can’t just pull the trigger and shoot your opponent, except in some close range battles. Jump into some custom games when Reach appears and practice timing your shots. The key is to watch the bloom. As the bloom nears a full reset, this is the best time to pull the trigger. Halo Reach will reward those who time their shots and fire accurately.

In Halo 3, shooting leadership was very important and changed game to game depending on the host. In Halo Reach you will probably still have to lead your shot, but not as much as the DMR is a hit scanning weapon. The sniper in Halo 3 doesn’t require you to direct your shots, so the DMR should work similar to this.

Basically the octagon is a map where there is a room with no coverage and only a few spawn points. This allows you to keep shooting the entire game and working on your aim. I know as soon as Halo Reach comes out, I’ll be busy doing a DMR Octagon to take down my shot. I suggest you either do the same or take 5 shots at your Spartan on the battlefield.
