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.

@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.

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

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

[Oddmonky]

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