Personally I don't think it is, but it seems that people were pretty upset over it not making an appearance in this game.

I also wondered if it would have just been possible to just change values in the DMR to make it more like a battle rifle, like ammo, fire rate, damage etc.

The BR is worse, skill-wise. It babies players. You can miss, but correct yourself mid-shot to actually hit your enemy. I don't like that. If you miss, you should miss, not be able to swipe your crosshair and suddenly hit your target.

i vote no but i still love it i just think dmr is beter for swat cause 3 shot burst only one has to hit so you just sweep over their head while dmr requires aiming

I'd say it depends on if the target has shields or not. If they have shields then it takes more skill to connect a continuous stream of bullets onto the enemy (without missing a single bullet compared to only needing to hit your enemy at one instant), but after the shields go down single-shot becomes the most skilled weapon for the headshot.

This, not to mention the fact that the DMR is slightly more balanced when put up against similar weapons.
