terrible voting choices but it's to give us a new experience in the game. Its like asking why did they replace the AR from C.E with the BR.
BR = cross between an AR and a sniper
DMR = cross between a BR and a sniper
think this topic would have been better in the reach forum

H:CE pistol - "Derp. We made a pistol unrealistically strong. Hmm, lets nerf the -blam!- out of the pistol even if it ruins gameplay"

BR - "We are the smart! Its the pistol, but it takes 1/3 of a shot more to kill someone! OH AND WE WILL MAKE IT POWER WEAPON! Who needs skill when Halo is just a race to power weapons"

BR - "Well, since we suck -blam!- at balancing but have hordes of fans due to live, we will nerf the BR ever so slightly. No more hitscan"

DMR - "Well, 3 round burst is disgusting and a detriment to the game, so is having the BR as a power weapon. Lets give Halo players the pistol, but nerf it to the ground. 5SK, oh and bloom. Oh and armor abilities. HUEHEUEHUEHUEHEUHEHUEHEUEH"

i personaly like the battle rifle in long range combat maps. but it was slower then the magnium to relode. and in ecnclosed small maps, thats going to be a problem.
