Halo Reach: DMR Close Range Tips / How to play Countdown effectively

[patsprankcalls]

I totally get what your saying about this being similar to a COD map, I mainly play black ops and when I switched to Reach I found this map to be my favourite, all the other maps seemed one dimensional and frustrating, with one main camp room or section where everyone goes and thats it.

shoot them before they shoot you.

st the EVA than the GUNGNIR. The visor color is also a factor. Gold is easiest to see, blue blends in with blue armor, and black is the hardest for me to see on red armor. It is important to quickscope at long lange, and get a headshot before they find you, and strafe in CQC. Another important thing is to quickly find them, so they don't kill you. Small armor silhoutte is also good, so don't wear huge armor. In my opinion GUNGNIR +black/blue + small armor = better chance of survival, but mainly

@chocolatejiz I like to melee then headshot too. One thing is instead of just rushing to melee, aim for the head as your are approaching them for the melee for a headshot. In CQC use the magnum instead as the DMR because it has more power at close range, and gets headshots. I have a lot of DMR, and Magnum experience because I am a HUGE SWAT player. I am thinking of making a DMR/SWAT tips video. One tip is I think of the head as the target, and the visor as the bullseye, so I get more kills again

[Flexobird]

how do yoy play online?

[Leg1tXHero]

@Flexobird You need an xbox live online card

[muffedupwalrus]

hes not even good

[TehHaloNub]

At close range, you will be owned by someone with a pistol.

[chocolatejiz]

i like to melee + headshot

[heavencasterx]

do you know there are medpacs on the walls? knowing where they are and using them whilst fighting is a very good advantage. near the end when u died right nxt to one and had the option of healing, why didnt u?

[TheStatShok]

@heavencasterx

Too focused on fighting, maybe?

But you're right. His shields would have started regenerating, and an extra shot would have been endured. Not like it would have mattered... but heh... Id just spam grenades.

[lolrofllmaobbz]

nice shootin

[McDeezy]

It takes 5 shots anywhere on the body to break shields. Not 4. Melee has no bleed through so it takes 5 shots and a Melee attack to kill.

[swordharpycrystal]

why is it more easy to head shot in this game =/

[iTeqq]

timing my shots efficiently has never let me down, spamming is good for lowering shields quickly so if u want to use that route be sure to spam until his shields are down than let ur bloom get smaller and finish off with a final head shot, thanks for reading

[olie4054]

Countdown is one of my fave maps anyway :D

[theMiXeriZe]

The reasons why I hate this map: shotgun and sword

[NFuNFu]

dmr is a mid to long range pistol a short range a pistol will out dmr any man close range...

[2chuggaaconroy]

just saying, there is no such thing as "shoted" just, shot.

[XxTheProfessor1995xX]

NooBs if u play me ill show u all that u dont have to pace ur damn shot i shoot fast and hit them every time it just takes plain DMR skill Thumbs up if u agree any one wanna challenge that play me 1v1 my gt is nE VoLTz send me a message so i know why u wanna play me....jeez pace ur shot and ull just get owned if someone actually knows how to use the dmr good

[killamaniac08]

@XxTheProfessor1995xX

lol u got like a .5 kdr in mlg and ur talking shit here. i kno online kdr means just about nothing but urs is just kind of embarrassing

[thundercat621]

Good basic vid.

[JessikaSaysMeow]

The DMR, im getting there .. slowly, but i still miss my BR every second lol

[noobasaurous]

3:40 you can jump across that gap

[link0192]

the reason you need to make sure you shoot 4 times is because in halo there was a thing called bleed through damage in other words when there shield is down like half way and you melee yo kill them in reach they made it so if they have any type of shield left it will just take down there shield so like he said take the shield down first then melee

Learn to play like a pro.

[containsmediumpeople]

3:55, you missed one shot, he missed 2, you had the advantage on him, and you should have been able to tell that by his shields compared to your shields. (and dont thrown grenades in the open without something to bounce it off.)

[containsmediumpeople]

Dont count your shots, you can tell how weak someone is just by seeing their shields, there shields will be really thick when you hit them and they're about to break, but if the person has full shields and you hit him, they will be thin, use this to judge which guy to go for, you can use this to know how many shots have been put into someone eventually.

[containsmediumpeople]

WTH? You suck! Why do you spam it when people are nearly dead?

[XxTigrexxX]

ohhhh u can carry sticky grenades around and stick them when ur close. just hav armor lock ready(when ur low on ammo and need to reload)

[awhitwarrior77]

I think you should place the medals their as they come up, to me it kinda ruins the surprise by showing the killing frenzy medal there at the beginning of the video.

[darkdivad]

another tip for close combat is hit and shoot in the face once if they back up

[SeanizUnkown]

@MrGryphian Not only that, but if you were to crouch your reticle would rapidly decrease back to the zero, its great for long to mid range DMR fights, but it doesn't work well with toggle crouch.

[thanatos71209]

is the melee system different in the MLG gametype? (im not mlg i just started playing cause i wanna get better -_-)

but whenever i melee the enemy still has shields.

[lastglimpse]

1 melee 1 then 1 headshot works 2



[TheAznJae]

More entrances = more ways to jump someone =)

[RefleXisLive]

4:00 why did u nade spam? a beginner strafe could have worked on that clown haha

[GameJourney]

I shoot people more than 4 times and their shields never drop.

[TheDiggster13]

Nice game play. I'd recommend using the DMR scope at longer ranges1

[JTorres305]

@ 5:22 He hits the back of his head and dies

[elitex111]

Wow people are starting arguments over HOW TO USE A GUN IN A VIDEO GAME. Wow guys..calm down. More civil than most, though.

[cnel90]

@MrGryphian What's that? I couldn't hear you with your head so far up your ass. Considering your little technique doesn't work for me, or anyone I've talked to, I'm just going to say look up the definition of opinion, and go home and be a family man.

[MrGryphian]

Nice video, but your DMR usage is very flawed.

Fire in bursts of two at mid and long range, it keeps 100% accuracy at this bloom level(tested)

"SHOOT SHOOT [half second pause] SHOOT SHOOT"

DMR was not intended to be a close range weapon, you kill people much more quickly with the Double Melee using sprint. Just because you shoot faster doesn't mean you can kill faster, so a good rule of thumb is to keep your reticule as large as the person's head.

[cnel90]

@MrGryphian Though you have good intentions, some people prefer to form and adapt their own play-styles. What works for you might not work as well for him, and vise-versa.

[intheworksmedia]

@MrGryphian Just for everyone's information: This strategy the guy is talking about does not work as efficiently. Watch some of the pros. A lot of them even spam the DMR and get 5 shots routinely. If you don't believe me, watch footage from some of them. Also I'd like to point out that you're most likely going to miss a LOT of shots doing this technique long range. Its better to time your shots with a short pause in between than attempt this illogical way.

[theOzzzyyy]

@intheworksmedia They spam when they plan LAN. not matchmaking

[flekt]

@MrGryphian I think you should shoot the guys shields off before you go running after him to bash...jus sayin

[13m9i14n9i]

@MrGryphian So at close range don't use dmr, run up and double beat down? lol.

[Oddmonky]

@MrGryphian Well, double melee is about the gayest move ever.

[IrishGangstara]

My advice to help with close range fights using the DMR is do octagon before you start playing any matches. Good vid. We need to play sometime
