This channel has been a big inspiration for me. After im out of the Marines, I want to buy a nice computer and finally go back to making my "Halo Voice Actor" videos I was making a few years ago. We totally support you and anything you choose to do in the future.
@@CaiusKushsades I used to do a few voices for elites, marines, and odsts back in the days of Machinima. But Machinima is gone now, so all my works pretty much kaput lol. I also used to edit together Clan recruitment videos here and there when the community was alive and well on Halo Reach. Those were the days. And no, I mean my old videos are about official Halo voice actors. A few uploads are on my channel now if you wanna see! My David Cross vid is my favorite that I've made. Thanks for the offer though!
Favorite version is probably Reach. The Bandit does sound super good and with the classic skin it looks nice, but it's just missing that scope. I'd love to see The Evolution of Grenade Launchers next.
@@Wylie288 you do realize that I'm talking about the overall profile and look of the weapon. And by increased vision do you mean zooming in? Which is what a scope does.
Id also like to see an evolution of gernade launchers and if there isn’t enough content there to make a video LNG could include throwable gernade and another video I’d like to see is an evolution of the Jackals video that could maybe include the Skirmishers since they are the same species because LNG has already done an evolution video on the Elites, the Grunts, and the Hunters.
What I appreciate about these videos is the way you're able to boil down complex game design and weapon mechanics/animations to simple, easily digestible concepts that helps the audience really understand broader criticisms and/or praise. The Reach DMR is one of my favourite weapon designs, and I've been looking forward to this video for a while. Love your updated editing style too.
I feel like the Bandit's lack of scope gets way too much flak. Personally, I really like the gun, it feels great, plays great, and looks great. It feels a lot like Reach's DMR, especially since I didn't really scope much either back then. One thing to remember is that Infinite's sandbox (unfortunately) isn't as big as previous games', so I kinda get why they removed the scope to keep the Bandit more in the mid range side and not get in the way of the BR and the Stalker. That said, I would really like it if they added a scoped variant, the more variety the better, and that's exactly what Infinite needs rn
I just wish they let us use the bloody iron sights they put on the gun!! I know it’s got the zoom mechanic the AR has but come on 343, you modeled those very nice Iron sights, LET ME USE THEM DANG IT!!! But yeah bandit be good
@@aloafoftoast7160 halo isn’t really a game that should have iron sights IMO. Even if it’s more immersive, halo isn’t really a game where you “pick up a gun and hold left trigger to aim down the sights” if you catch my drift. After H5, I’m happy 343 is (at least somewhat) trying to stop mimicking Cod
@@LateNightHaloI like how you when you said in bungees game you said they could simply remove overpowered weapons 13:33 yet for some reason you refuse to show the Halo 3 battle rifle which the most overpowered thing in the entire game yet they never removed it
I saw this get posted earlier when I got home. I opened it in a tab, paused it, then went to grab a drink. Came back a few minutes later, sat down, pressed play, then heard "Back in 2001--" before the video cut out and it said [Video unavailable], and it got a laugh out of me with that timing.
The thing about the Halo 5 DMR that you probably find so odd is the height of the optic over the buttstock in the cheek rest area. The lack of a stock drop at the cheek or a higher placement of the optic like on the Halo Reach DMR means that it would be very difficult to actually get your eye behind the scope while getting a proper cheek rest weld as part of a stable shooting position. It looks bad because you instinctively know that it just doesn’t work.
The only explanation would be that it was designed for Spartans in mind, but that doesn't make sense because normal Marines are far more abundant and to design a weapon for one sole group would leave the bigger, generalized group disadvantaged while using the weapon.
@@silentkhaos1176I rember hearing on a video of either hidden Experia or Instaltion00 that the UNSC shrunk in size after the human covenant war which could explain the further use of spartan designed weapons.
It straight up looks like you're placing the stock on top of your shoulder in the first person perspective. That explains why the players hand covers the screen during the reload animation lol, it's like your hand is actually just inches from your face.
After having two months of no new videos, I was hoping you hadn’t stepped away from TH-cam, but seeing this video, and how meticulously crafted it is with a fantastic script and brilliant editing, I’m excited for future content. Keep up the great work LNG.
The Reach DMR will always be my favorite version of the weapon. So I'm glad that Infinite brought back the old design. The Halo 4 and, to a lesser extent, Halo 5 DMR were great, but the original design and feel will always be my favorite, especially the fire sound when you pull the trigger. And while the DMR may not be the most widely loved Halo weapon, but it's one that we love a lot. And it'll always be a favorite weapon of mine. So it's great to see you cover this iconic, if underappreciated compared to the BR, weapon in Halo's sandbox.
what i like is that they brought back "Reach DMR" but not an exact copy- the original was produced on Reach and says as much being produced by an arsenal located on Reach, while the new DMR that is the same model is produced under license by a civilian company. the UNSC would have no reason to go back to an "old" design, but civilian companies often do. We will of course never see "REACH DMR" rifles since the manufacturing base on REACH was destroyed which explains why the rifles don't appear in HALO, HALO 2, and HALO 3.
Ending skit reminds me of the old-school "Half Life 1/2 but every sound effect is my voice" mods. The tonal whiplash between "serious documentary" and "just a dude that's having fun" is what the internet was made for and i am all for it.
Im really happy you included the Destiny-MR. If you go through with making remakes of some of your other weapon evolution videos, you should totally include the Destiny versions for each one as well. P.S. Another thing about Dead Mans Revenge (DMR) is that i feel like the name might be refering to Noble 6. Like the DMR is being used to avenge 6 and Noble team, eh by being used to kill aliens and doesnt afraid of anything.
I know it wasn't technically in the video, but I think visually, my favorite version of the DMR was the Halo reach beta's one. Something about the green ammo counter clicks with me. I love it! Also I just have to say, the production quality was top fucking notch here man. Good stuff!
The version I love the most will always be the one from the Reach era. I didn't really start getting into the more online competitive side of Halo until near the end of Halo 3/start of Halo Reach. One of my most favorite game modes to play was, and still is to this day, SWAT. Popping heads with the DMR became second nature to me many of nights thanks to Halo Reach's SWAT mode. I love the bit of varied attachments we got via Halo 5's REQ system, but the Reach version of the DMR will always hold a special place in my heart.
Excellent video, I loved everything from the info, video quality, and narration. As a long time Halo fan you took me down memory lane and im sure for those newer they found this informative. I hope that you do more videos like this and maybe with other weapons within the Halo sandbox
In defense of Halo 5's DMR design, the really flattened top makes a lot of sense. An important factor for making rifles more accurate and consistent is height over bore. The closer in height the scope is to barrel, the easier it is to make accurate shots across varied distances.
I'm super glad to see my favorite weapon in Halo get the spotlight and deep dive that the evolution series always brings, now better than ever. Great work!
I havnt seen your Chanel in a bit and I just can’t belive your still under 200k subs and that your videos don’t instantly get hundreds of thousands of views, you definitely deserve it and your work is so awesome I really have enjoyed every single one. Unfortunately I can’t talk it into existance, but I can wish you the best of luck and I’m sure you will find progress and expansion wherever your style takes you. Enjoy!
I know it wasn't mentioned, but the glitched halo 5 DMR when you're mixing forge weapons that gave it no scope like the bandit rifle was one of my favorites.
the DMR has a special place in my heart. I started playing halo about a year ago on the pc version of the mcc. Halo has been around for a while, so there's a pretty steep learning curve when you're getting killed every 5 seconds by people who have been playing for almost as long as you've been alive. It was honestly kind of discouraging. I googled "how to get better at halo", and some advice a lot of people had was to play SWAT mode, because it forced you to not rely on the motion tracker, have good reflexes, and get accurate headshots. I took that advice, and I've gotten pretty decent with the DMR. I wouldn't call myself good at halo yet, but when I play SWAT with my buddies who have more years logged on the game than I have months, I'm able to hold my own. I'm proud of that, and it's the DMR that gave me a rosd to follow when I was close to giving up on multiplayer edited for spelling
The experience Bungie had with Reach's DMR paved the tempo abd baseline of Destiny's arsenal, which seems like the baseline weapons in Destiny are variants of DMR's. Even automatic weapons in Destiny feel like automatic DMR's.
Funny thing even as someone who only played the pc port of the first Halo even I caught the DMR reference with the Dead Man's Revenge skin. Guess that speaks for how iconic the DMR is even outside Halo. Also in general nice to see ya still keep making nods to Destiny in these videos ^^
Props for the opening seconds. People often edit their audio commentary over unrelated video footage starting the video and their audio at the same time making your brain instantly connect the two. Seems like you deliberately split them a bit👌🏻
The DMR is my favorite weapon. So much that it's my Spartan Oc's main weapon. I love the look of Halo 4's sniper, mainly cause of the scope and green display making it stand out from the other rifles in an interesting way.
Yo lng, you should totally do an evolution of the master chief's armor or spartan armor customization in the future, that would be sick to see. Love your vids man!
The sevine arms branding on the bandit makes me think that it’s supposed to be a copy of the DMR produced by another company, possibly to reduce the strain put on misriah to produce weapons for the fledgling UNSC because misriah armories probably doesn’t access to the same facilities after the awoken blacked-out the galaxy
The DMR was immediately one of my favorite weapons upon introduction. Not as punchy or far reaching as a sniper rifle, but faster to follow up with if you whiffed your first shot than the SR. And I still heavily prefer that type of weapon in pretty much every game I play. It provide effective, accurate, and hard hitting medium to long range firepower, and pairs really well with a rapid fire weapon for shorter range engagements, such as an SMG or shotgun.
The Reach DMR will always be the GOAT imo. It's my go to in the campaign and is probably the weapon I used the most in multiplayer. I've grown to like the Halo 4 DMR, not love it but it's fine. The scope is what hurts the weapon for me. Don't really have much experience with Halo 5's outside the campaign. It's w/e I guess. And the bandit rifle was pretty cool though I'm not sure if that's because it's actually really good or because until S3, Infinite's content drops have been severely lacking. Great video!
This weapon dropped in reach and has pretty much been my favorite human halo weapon since. It's second only to the tried and true goat weapon that's gotten me through many legendary runs of the franchise, the plasma pistol. Hell, they even work together amazingly.
i cant play infinite due to my pc specs, but the model of the infinite dmr brought me so much nostalgia, the reload too, so much passion put into it. i always loved the AR more, the designs from halo 3 having a soft spot for me, but the DMR is such a lovable weapon, yet i do hsve contempt for its performance in halo reach on the MCC
the DMR is by far my favorite. my favorite halo game is reach and i get a surge of excitement whenever i know i am about to use a DMR, the DMR is great in pve you can spam fire it and one shot jackels and grunts if you get a headshot. its effective with hipfire and scoped which makes it quite nice for all engagements. i generally prefer the DMR to a sniper since its ammo does not feel like some mythological masterpiece that you expend on each shot. i only play the halo campaigns
You did not say lovingly created about Halo Reach. That game was made with spite. Microsoft told Bungie even though their contract only last for 4 games that they had to make another game and deemed that ODST was not a standalone game.
Another major difference with the Bandit rifle is that it does less damage than previous iterations of the DMR taking 3 shots & a beatdown to kill and 7 body shots instead of 6 like in previous games.
I'm making a halo animation, and the main character in the animation uses a DMR, but slightly different. It uses the halo infinite variant (black color, because olive drab doesn't suit the DMR) but with the halo 5 sentinel scope. Highest resolution while having a very similar frame to the original. Just picture it in your head, and you'll see: It looks pretty damn good.
Honestly, a legendary variant for the Bandit that has a scope, with descope, and a tinge less recoil would make for a killer addition to the Super Fiesta sandbox, and would give the DMR its rightful place back
I love the look and feel of the Bandit in Infinite. In Ranked and Comp it doesn’t really need a scope since 4v4 maps don’t really have engagements that far. I do think the game is severely lacking in a long range starter rifle and the insane power of the BR isn’t helping it. We need a 3x scoped DMR again for BTB modes. Then nerf the BR’s bullet velocity just enough so it can’t beat the DMR at long range but it wouldn’t be noticeable in medium range.
Been playing Halo Infinite custom games on my Steam Deck. And it’s been a blast. Played Nuketown, Guardian and Hjijacked against bots on ODST difficulty. It’s been a lot of fun but I’ve also been enjoying the campaign on my series x. But also I play Halo MCC multiplayer sometimes on my deck.
I just gotta keep the love for the OG DMR. I know that no one really likes the bloom in reach, but it was my introduction to the series actually, and I loves reach, in fact it's still my favorite halo
When I was checking out my weapons in infinite i noticed on the bandit model section you can open it. Keep in mind you cannot do that for weapons that do not have a model selection like the S7 sniper or SPNKr which means we could get a scope for our DMR like stated in the video. Who knows
Halo 4 hands down favorite iteration. Headshots during swat in H4 were so goddamn crunchy ive yet to have it replicated. It also seemed to.. "point?".. better in H4 for me too, idk why.
personally i think Reach's DMR will always feel just right in my hands. H4's DMR also feels just as good, so i'd place that second. H5 and Infinite's DMR i never really got a good feel for so im not sure what i would rate them
Halo Infinite's just doesn't have as good of a feel. Reach's and 4's DMR felt powerful and impactful. Halo 5's I don't know about Halo 5 because by the time I can actually equip it, the round is over or on the last wave of the firefight. Infinite's... just doesn't feel good. Even the EVO version with a scope. And the thing is, 4's DMR felt like it did something even though my local splitscreen matches have like 300% damage resistance.
@@watermelongaming3698the halo 4 dmr was the peak dmr imo. I don’t know why they keep on using old designs that aren’t even redesigns 😂. Also the bandit can’t really be called a “dmr” in the first place since it doesn’t even have a scope yet
I know this is about the DMR and I do love the gun but that Destiny section reminded me of the time when The Last Word was a meta defining weapon during the first game's run. I miss that time when I'd wait until the weekend just to see what exotic loot Xûr would have, waiting and waiting for the moment until I'd finally be able to purchase that subtle, golden hand cannon that worked better by firing from the hip than by aiming down the sights.
This Weapon and the Spartan 3 Armor Core represent a time when our beloved super soldiers were using equipment more reminiscent of mankind fighting each other.
The voice acting work at the end brought me to tears. Such emotion I would have never expected to feel for an inanimate object. Bravo.
I read the comment before getting to the end and I actually expected something else 😂

Do the evolution of the Fuel Rod Gun or the Carbine next plsssss!
i cant play infinite due to my pc specs, but the model of the infinite dmr brought me so much nostalgia, the reload too, so much passion put into it.
i always loved the AR more, the designs from halo 3 having a soft spot for me, but the DMR is such a lovable weapon, yet i do hsve contempt for its performance in halo reach on the MCC
I love u as a content creator so much that I didn't even skip the commercial ;D great video as always (Reach DMR is the best I think)
DMR squad lets go
the DMR is by far my favorite. my favorite halo game is reach and i get a surge of excitement whenever i know i am about to use a DMR, the DMR is great in pve you can spam fire it and one shot jackels and grunts if you get a headshot. its effective with hipfire and scoped which makes it quite nice for all engagements. i generally prefer the DMR to a sniper since its ammo does not feel like some mythological masterpiece that you expend on each shot. i only play the halo campaigns
Wake up babe late night gaming posted
The intro made my love for halo and excitement stronger lol love it 😂❤
You did not say lovingly created about Halo Reach. That game was made with spite. Microsoft told Bungie even though their contract only last for 4 games that they had to make another game and deemed that ODST was not a standalone game.
The scary thing is, The fire selector is Safe, Semi, and Full, a full auto DMR is the most terrifying weapon in halo
The return of the King
The DMR is my favorite weapon from halo ever. so glad this was made
Another major difference with the Bandit rifle is that it does less damage than previous iterations of the DMR taking 3 shots & a beatdown to kill and 7 body shots instead of 6 like in previous games.
Love the video as always! The new editing is great. It feels cool and new without overdoing it! Hope you’re having a good year so far
Man... Six minutes into the video and i am loving the editing.
Editing's lookin' guuuuud
That was peak DMR impression. If I didn't know any better I'd say you were just shooting the real thing lol
I'm making a halo animation, and the main character in the animation uses a DMR, but slightly different. It uses the halo infinite variant (black color, because olive drab doesn't suit the DMR) but with the halo 5 sentinel scope. Highest resolution while having a very similar frame to the original. Just picture it in your head, and you'll see: It looks pretty damn good.
Honestly, a legendary variant for the Bandit that has a scope, with descope, and a tinge less recoil would make for a killer addition to the Super Fiesta sandbox, and would give the DMR its rightful place back
Good news, a gif of early access to season 5 actually has the Bandit with the scope!
I love the look and feel of the Bandit in Infinite. In Ranked and Comp it doesn’t really need a scope since 4v4 maps don’t really have engagements that far.
I do think the game is severely lacking in a long range starter rifle and the insane power of the BR isn’t helping it. We need a 3x scoped DMR again for BTB modes. Then nerf the BR’s bullet velocity just enough so it can’t beat the DMR at long range but it wouldn’t be noticeable in medium range.
Been playing Halo Infinite custom games on my Steam Deck. And it’s been a blast. Played Nuketown, Guardian and Hjijacked against bots on ODST difficulty. It’s been a lot of fun but I’ve also been enjoying the campaign on my series x. But also I play Halo MCC multiplayer sometimes on my deck.
The Battle Rifle in the form it took in the Halo 2 E3 presentation sorta reminds me of the DMR as well.
I just gotta keep the love for the OG DMR. I know that no one really likes the bloom in reach, but it was my introduction to the series actually, and I loves reach, in fact it's still my favorite halo
The ending gave me Deadpool vibes! Very funny, man! Loved that!
When I was checking out my weapons in infinite i noticed on the bandit model section you can open it. Keep in mind you cannot do that for weapons that do not have a model selection like the S7 sniper or SPNKr which means we could get a scope for our DMR like stated in the video. Who knows
Reach and Infinite
Reach I grew up with the most
Halo 4 hands down favorite iteration. Headshots during swat in H4 were so goddamn crunchy ive yet to have it replicated. It also seemed to.. "point?".. better in H4 for me too, idk why.
i think it actually sounded kinda nice imo much better than infinite
personally i think Reach's DMR will always feel just right in my hands. H4's DMR also feels just as good, so i'd place that second. H5 and Infinite's DMR i never really got a good feel for so im not sure what i would rate them
Halo Infinite's just doesn't have as good of a feel. Reach's and 4's DMR felt powerful and impactful. Halo 5's I don't know about Halo 5 because by the time I can actually equip it, the round is over or on the last wave of the firefight. Infinite's... just doesn't feel good. Even the EVO version with a scope. And the thing is, 4's DMR felt like it did something even though my local splitscreen matches have like 300% damage resistance.
@@watermelongaming3698the halo 4 dmr was the peak dmr imo. I don’t know why they keep on using old designs that aren’t even redesigns 😂. Also the bandit can’t really be called a “dmr” in the first place since it doesn’t even have a scope yet
I really enjoy this series, thank you sir!
Back in 2010, the competitive circuit was ran by MLG. HCS was not in existence yet.
My favorite gun. Always has been.
I know this is about the DMR and I do love the gun but that Destiny section reminded me of the time when The Last Word was a meta defining weapon during the first game's run.
I miss that time when I'd wait until the weekend just to see what exotic loot Xûr would have, waiting and waiting for the moment until I'd finally be able to purchase that subtle, golden hand cannon that worked better by firing from the hip than by aiming down the sights.
This Weapon and the Spartan 3 Armor Core represent a time when our beloved super soldiers were using equipment more reminiscent of mankind fighting each other.
Congratulations to your wife!! Looks like a great setup and a great chair. Hope she has fun and goes through the Halo games with you
That e-win chair is practically identical to Corsairs T3 Rush
I WAS WONDERING WHY THE HALO 5 DMR LOOKED SO WEIRD
The lack of ammo counter made it feel so short.
30:17 I think the lettering on the scope of the Reach DMR is where 343 got the name, or it could just be a coincidence
