The BR v.s. DMR
The BR in Halo 3 was a medium ranged weapon, and that makes sence because Halo is more of an in our face up close and personal game.
The DMR is like something out of COD. Since when can you kill somebody from across the map in Halo without a sniper? (excluding Halo 2:D)
I honestly thnk that Bungie should use the Halo 3 BR in place of the DMR.
Maybe they could let you spawn with th BR and place DMRs on the map?
Well long story short, does anbody else like the Halo 3 BR over the Reach DMR?

Still using a pump-action shotgun over 500 years in the future I see.

omg not realistic stop game production plz

The DMR has a more realistic range, but yeah I miss the BR so I'm going to start playing H3 again. ;P

Nothing can ever detract from the signature weapon of doom, from Halo - the legendary BR55 HBSR Battle Rifle.

Of course everyone likes the BR better. It was more effective. It was a better weapon by far.

Which is exactly why it needed to be replaced with the DMR.

I wouldn't say the BR was better by far... The DMR takes 5 shots to kill rather than 4, yes, but the BR had 3 bullets, all of which needed to be hitting. With latency, bullet spread, range, and no hitscan, that's nearly impossible most of the time. But the DMR only needs to hit 1 bullet, with barely any spread if shots are timed, AND it's hitscan. It's got WAY more range and is good at close range when combined with melee or when spammed. The DMR is by far better/more effective.

I still love the BR though. ;D

Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Halo!!!

I like both of them so I can't decide but, if I had to chose I would say the BR.
