I had been thinking about this all day at work. And it finally dawned on me. The people that have a big problem with the DMR most likely started playing Halo with Halo 2.
They weren’t kidding when they said it was the closest thing to Halo:CE’s pistol. For those of us that went to multiple LAN parties should be used to dying by something like the new DMR. The original pistol was the weapons of choice by most CE players. And yet you COULD beat someone using it with other weapons. What do you think?
