Add the DMR as a weapon with the capabilities of the BR, but turn up bloom. Cross map kills would be harder. DMRs would act as snipers, good for one shot at a time. Or they could add the DMR as a twin scope weapon (similar to the stalker rifle)
I think the commando is like an automatic DMR.
I’m probably wrong about the damage output and range but when you shoot the commando like a semiautomatic it at least reminders me of the DMR a little

Actually I forgot about the stalker rifle. I think that’s more of a DMR weapon.
DMR is obsolete lore wise and game wise commando replaced it game wise and The BR replaced it Lore wise.

By that logic, the BR is a pulse DMR. And the Sidekick a fast firing short range DMR. 
I don’t see any relation between the Commando and DMR, other than that they’re both UNSC weapons. The Commando fires much faster, is full-auto and has a shorter range than the DMR.
I personally thing the DMR would be a great addition to the weapon sandbox. It should be better than the BR in some scenario’s and worse in others.

The DMR and Commando are nothing alike.

Yes, the DMR should come back, but bloom should not be a thing on any weapon.

Yeah I guess you’re right, the DMR is in a class if it’s own 
I thought it was interesting that halo reach had the DMR without the BR. And then halo 5 had them both 
So I guess 343 could pull it off again and have both in one game again 
I find it interesting that they don’t have the DMR in infinite. Is it too powerful? Or maybe they wanted the current sandbox as it is to test out everything against each other 
Just like how some legacy weapons are missing, I’m sure we’ll see our old friends come around some day

I think for the DMR to come back, it would need to be different from the battle rifle. Maybe it can cross map with high damage, but has more bloom for each shot (like it worked before) it would also need to be more forgiving than the stalker rifle, so it can be a different weapon rather than “unsc stalker rifle”
Bloom essentially means giving a weapon RNG. You point at someone’s head, you shoot, but it doesn’t register. So, no bloom on ANY weapon. It messed up in Reach, and also Destiny had weapons (hand cannons) feel horroble because of bloom.
I can fell ya on bloom. reach magnum and the sidekick lol.
I just think weapons need to have a skill gap of some kind, but bloom just isn’t the way to go. That’s why real time is the best way to go about it.

They could just add it in as it’s always been. You don’t have to have every weapon on the map. Just have swaps of BR and DMR. And no to precision starts.
No. Bloom sucks and the DMR doesn’t need to come back.
Not if it’s just a single shot BR, but I would want to see a different percision weapon that is better than the commando and has better long range capabilities than the BR
