After seeing gameplay videos for Halo 5: Guardians I noticed that the DMR scope is unnecessarily big. Most of the scope are the borders leaving a small window to look through. What’s the deal with that? And for some reason the battle rifle scope is simply a piece of glass due to the new “smart scope” overlay feature but the DMR has an actual scope. It’s also quite annoying how the battle rifle sight is now not a regular circle nor square but an oval shaped sight with partial frame. What do you guys think?
The DMR looks kinda… Well… Weird…
I mean, The BR still looks like a BR to me, But the DMR looks like a brand new weapon.
2spooky4me! D:
The DMR was funny. I laughed at that. I imagine they’ll change it after the beta. There’s no way they’d leave it like that.
I’m not to sure I kind of like it makes the guns a bit more distinctive and emphasises the fact the BR is a mid range utility weapon and the DMR is long Range utility weapon.
I like the distance counter.
I’m not loving the new Battlerifle look. The scope makes it look short range to me.
Yeah I thought they both looked really unappealing 
which is sad cuz the BR in particular has always been -Yoink!- as hell.
I just really don’t understand it. It makes no sense to me.
The DMR? Fine. It’s supposed to have a long-range niche, and it appears that both through gameplay mechanics (smaller reticule for hip-firing, etc.) and aesthetics it will be more defined in this role.
The BR? WHAT? I simply cannot understand why would they change it. It makes no sense to me.
It is the singularly most iconic Halo weapon. It’s still recognizable, yes, but I don’t understand why they would even think to give an ACOG-like scope.
And I’ll be honest, I was intrigued by the notion of iron sights in Halo. I wanted to see them in action to see how it would play out. But I’m cringing at the gameplay videos, so much of the screen is filled by absolute clutter. Awareness in the scopes will be drastically reduced for what? Floating hardlight (or something, I really don’t what it is), scope lines, and the weapons themselves.
I’m glad that so much of the gameplay has returned to Halo’s roots. I really think this game has a chance. But there are things I don’t like and don’t understand, and this is one of them.

I think the AR, CE pistol, Energy Sword and every other Covenant weapon would like to have a word with you.
Where is a dmr pic?
The br looks fine but the dmr looks weird. 
I’m really digging the new look that they’ve gone with in regards to all of the weapons (that I’ve seen thus far).
DMR
Battle Rifle
Assault Rifle
Submachine Gun (I think)
Pistol
Prophets’ Bane (aka The Arbiter’s Energy Sword)
Yeah, the DMR is quite… blocky. I kinda like the new red dot sight thingy for the BR though. Look extremely cool. Same with the SMG.
It seems that they are trying to really distinguish the DMR from the BR. Halo 4 had far too many precision weapons that all pretty much had the same purpose, but it seems like they are just trying to promote the DMR as being a long range weapon, and the BR as being a short/medium ranged weapon. Maybe we will see a different variation of the BR, but I am happy to see this change. Also, is it just me that thinks that the DMR looks very similar aside from the scope? I mean, I haven’t played Halo in a while, but I don’t really see too much drastic change.
One of the biggest problems I have with this game is the BR scope. It looks nothing like the og Br. This really needs to be changed because like said before this an iconic legendary weapon. I don’t mind the way the BR fully looks but the scope is just terrible. The red ammo counter is kinda cool. Would have perferred blue tho. In all honesty I hope they let u have a feature where you can add a classic scope. Because the new one is just ugly…
The DMR how ever looks fine to me there’s not really a drastic change. But the DMR is not nearly as iconic as the BR. So why change the Br so much 343???
I’m okay with the look of the DMR, that BR scope on the other hand…cringes
Never saw the DMR yet, but the BR scope does seem a bit… unnatural.
Br , pistol, and AR are fine, the rockets and dmr need to return to a what they were.
Smg looks fine p90 style and the prophet s bane needs a redesign
At present im mostly ok with the new aesthetics. Promethean and covie weapons im worried about.
Also now that the BR is aim down sights style and not a fullscreen zoom in graphic the actual scope itself seems to be much smaller which may be disorientating. The old zoom used to take up nearly the entire screen, now its just a little piece of glass attached to the weapon.
I think it would be cool if the Battle Rifle and DMR got hybrid zoom. This would allow the player to either aim down the sight or use the old zoom feature found in past Halo games. I also don’t find the BR’s scope appealing. I think it would look cooler if it was more rectangular, like SMG’s scope. The DMR’s scope could also use some revisions.
