Just something I whipped up in photoshop for anyone who wanted to see a side by side comparsion.
link doesn’t work
*nvm looks awesome! The only thing missing on the Halo 4 DMR is that vertical piece of metal on the barrel found on the Reach one. To me, that piece makes the DMR very unique looking.
Works now 
I can’t help but feel that Reach’s one looks like an upgraded version of Halo 4’s and not the other way around.

I can see where you’re coming from. The H4 DMR looks more simplified.
Looks like a Sniper Rifle now tbh.
I like most of the stuff from the Halo 4 one better except for the butt of the gun. Looks to short and stout for a long range weapon to me.
At least now we know the DMR wont have bloom 
I like the Reach DMR from Third-person but I prefer the Halo 4 DMR in first-person. I will probably prefer the performance of the Halo 4 DMR in the end because the Reach one is so tainted by Bloom
Yeah I just don’t like the new look nearly as much as I like the old one. Thanks for making the comparison pic though.
Looks almost exactly the same
I hate the green on the scope.
Halo: Reach one looks more detailed 
Da hell…
Oh well, still looks great. I’d like them to revise the scope a little, and like another person said, add back that little metal piece sticking up on the nose of the gun, it just looked so cool and unique.
Halo 4 BR looks unfinished.
I like the hand/finger guard of the H4 one, scope of the Reach one, muzzle of the H4 one, and butt and 1st person view from Reach. I personally hate this green thing that is the scope, looks like a button, not a scope.
I think both look cool, but at the same time I think it looks weird to have magazine weapon that has no magazine.
nice job, I kinda prefer the Reach version though just for the amount of detail; What I do believe is an improvement is the First person view is H4’s DMR minus the green.
My guess is the green in the scope is to easily identify what weapon your enemy has and how to react to it. Other than the green, the BR and DMR might look pretty similar from a distance.
I actually prefer the Reach one, its actually looks like a marksmans rifle. The H4 DMR looks like a carbine version of the proper DMR…
The hand guard also looks similar to one of the concept designs for the Reach DMR, the pictures are out there somewhere.
The only thing I don’t like about the new DMR is how they connected the grip to the stock. Other than that, I love the way it looks.
