I keep reading on the forums about how many people are getting wasted by the DMR. I’m just curious: What playlists are you playing? I’m mainly a DMR player, and consistently see myself get wasted by the assault rifle and the battle rifle. I’m not a terrible player either, though my KD ration isn’t exactly 1:1. (I blame regicide and being hunted constantly). BR seems to have some advantages, such as shield damage bleedthrough, as a BR player can pop shields and kill a player if the last shot is to the head. Also it SEEMS BR also causes more flinch especially when I’m scoped in. Besides that, a constant barrage of BR bullets fluster me more than I care to admit. DMR doesn’t seem overpowered to me at all. Besides that, the light-rifle scoped in seems more effective at long range, and since there is no unscoping due to damage (which really should be fixed), any trained player should be able to out-perform a DMR player with a light rifle, especially at range. DMR does big damage, but light rifle damage seems more insidious at range because of the transparency of the rounds.
