Hahaha IWS27 I have to agree, the BR is totally more awesome than the DMR without a doubt. Now, I am completely opposed to the DMR but after the evidence shown in this thread it has shown new light on the horrid weapon. However, it doesn't make up for the fact that 343i has to do SOMETHING about it. Whether that involves map design, instant respawn, or maybe even gametype changes we shall see.
On a side note, I would like to explain what I mean by gametype changes. This variable applies to all bases including, but not limited to, map design, instant respawn, and weapon loadout customization. The standard gametype allows for instant respawn, and as previously stated above, does not allow the BR to show its full potential in CQ maps because 343i can't make some type of spawn killing frenzy map. Secondly, custom loadouts apply many factors to the game that people tend to over look. Some combinations of weapons can be more powerful than others thus tipping gameplay away from those with 'weaker' weapon combos.
Example: Most of the maps in vanilla Halo 4 are moderate to long range. Using a DMR to take out enemy's at close-far range and a boltshot to take out enemies at EXTREMELY close range makes a extremely deadly combination. While a weaker combination may be a Carbine and a plasma pistol. While the Carbine may be effective at close-mid range, at long range it definitely lacks compared to the other weapons. In addition, the plasma pistol can be very useful, especially against vehicles, but at CQ against a foe this would require a full charge, and a lot of spamming, or a full charge and weapon swap for the headshot, which drastically decreases the chance of finishing the kill.
In conclusion, if 343i were to go back to the 'Halo roots' and force weapon combinations like assault rifle or battle rifle and pistol, make a respawn time of 3 or 4 seconds, and place power weapons/ regular weapons around the map (whether through regular placement or fancy pantsy in-game ordance drops) would make the gameplay much much much more enjoyable for those who are having trouble with current gameplay.
