Should the BR have so much range?

#1

In my opinion, it simply defies logic that the BR has a range equal to the DMR. BR’s fire in bursts, DMR’s fire a single shot. Even the name Designated Marksman Rifle implies that it should be the marksman’s choice for long-range combat.

But this is just my opinion and I’d be interested to see what others have to say on the matter.

#2

They dont have the same range. The Br under performs at long ranges in comparison to the DMR. I use the BR a lot in my games. At mid range it can compete with the dmr and at close range it beats it. Its all about preference.

#3

I may be mistaken, but I’m pretty sure I’ve been crossmapped by BR’s quite a few times

#4

R u seriouse the dmr is like a semi autotic sniper

#5

Here’s how it needs to be:

Long Range: DMR > BR
Mid Range: DMR = BR
Short Range: DMR < BR

Right now…

Everything: DMR > BR/Carbine/LightRifle

I personally think that the BR is the worst of these four weapons. The DMR just needs to shoot slower.

Unless the Sniper Rifle requires 5 shots to kill somebody, I’m going to have to disagree with you…

I agree with you 100%

//EDIT//
So I’m not just piggybacking, I’ll elaborate. If the DMR had a slower rate of fire it would make people actually stop and think about where they are going to be deploying themselves on the map. Slowing it down would balance a lot of the gameplay and I think you’d see a lot more people using different weapons.

As it stands, I feel like the DMR trumps everything but the Sniper rifle at mid-long range
