Why is the DMR in halo 4 the technology was lost for the DMR along with reach. Also 343 said they added the BR to halo 4 because the community requested so but wouldn’t the BR have to be in the game regardless?

Why can’t we 4 shot anymore is it because the DMR that we gave to 5 shot? I really miss the 4 shot made halo 3 faster pace and felt perfect for the game unlike reach when everyone would eat your bullets and camp with there over powered Armour abilities. I just want a little more classic feel to the game since its pretty much Call of Halo at this point lol. I know its probably not a big deal just something that’s making me worry about how strong the shields are or how weak the load out weapons are.

DMR is used by the Army. BR is mostly used by the Marines.

Balance.
DMR is 5-shot
BR is 5-shot
Carbine is 8-9 shot
Light rifle is 6-shot , scoped 4-shot

I dunno bro, clearly a 4 shot hitscan BR didnt work in H2 since Halo 2 was such a failure of a game and sold so poorly so 343 thought they had to change the BR to 5 shots.
It makes sense really since Halo reach has been the number 1 xbox game for 2 years while Halo 2 got beat by everything
ROFL >_<
BecAuse it has always been 5 shot …?
Also in the long run halo 3 killtimes weren’t faster than in Reach.
I don’t get why the BR is a 5 shot either. I mean as it stands the DMR has a 1.47 sec kill time yet despite the Halo 3 BR being a 4 shot it had a kill time of 1.53 seconds. Which is longer. Even the Halo 2 BR with its faster fire rate only had a 1.43 sec kill time, 1/30th of a second/ 1 frame faster than Halo 4’s DMR.
1.73s seems way too long.
DMR tech was not lost at Reach… that’d be stupid. Its not like its a classified or exclusive weapon.
The DMR is more often used by the Army. We’ve been with the Marines the past few Halos, so it was BR. The Infinity likely comes with a complete armory, army and marine, which would include both weapons canonically.
And the BR is a 5 shot because of balance. They tested the BR as a 4 shot, but it was very imbalanced with the other weapons.

Because they wanted it to take more consistent skill to kill someone. With 4 shots, you only need to aim 4 times.
LOL DMR TECH WAS LOST IN REACH. JUST LOL
What the military just decided to forget how to make one of the most basic forms of the gun? LMFAO.
Sandbox balance.

The SIV program draws from all sections of the UNSC, just as ODST’s do… ODST’s are still useful and they will continue to train those that have the potential to be SIV’s, just not quite the same way others have been pulled directly from their respective section.
Now as said, SIV’s draw on they army and such the DMR is already a readily used and familiar weapon. The Spartans will learn to use the other weaponry, but they will do so going into battle using the weapon they feel most comfortable with, and then improvise from there. As such, the BR is for the navy recruits, the DMR is for the army recruits but the Infinity grabbed themselves some Carbines, Light Rifles and learned how to replenish the ammo for them for anyone who wants “anything”.
PS:Somebody forgot to grab an NR as they left Reach 
The DMR is often used by the army, it is a very common weapon. The DMR has been around, it’s not classified or new. Also, the halo 4 model is the M395 model, not the M392 that was in reach. It is still the DMR, but a bit different (In canon).
Your comparing longer kill times with call of duty? Really? The shields and alien weapons/ longer kill times will really distance it further from the “realistic” warfare games.
I get the comparisons with some perks/armor mods, but you make no sense,
I agree tho the br could have kept its 4sk if it was 12 bullets to the head it would take 5 shots for most players anyways
They probably figured because the majority of the population failed to properly four shot (ending up expelling 5-6 bursts to get a kill) that they would bring it to par with the DMR.
From the vids I have watched … quite a few players are having trouble five-shotting with the BR.
It is for sandbox balance.
