I'm not saying the BR isn't viable, I'm saying that its a cripple to use because of the power of the DMR. Just because its possible to do good with the BR doesn't erase the DMR's clear advantages. A famous player ( I forgot who) said,"I would rather have wood than a weapon." The logic behind this is he must play smarter with wood, and perhaps even do better with wood since he's thinking. But, I want the BR to be a tool for getting up close to DMR's and Lightrifles and beat them with an advantage that it should have. Before Halo 4 came out, I remember 343 saying the DMR was meant for long range, and the BR was meant for mid range. They got it half right, The BR and the Carbine are for mid ranges, but the DMR is now for all ranges, and it has more power. The problem with the DMR having slightly more power. Is the fact the DMR was meant to be the counter part of the light rifle. Now, its the counter part to all guns which is unfair. The Carbine and BR need buffs so that the DMR has its fair place in the game, and that it can rock the Carbine and the BR at long ranges, but be rocked by the Carbine and BR at mid ranges. If you notice, this is what is happening with the lighrifle right now. The lighrifle is awful at close range, and you have to be extremely skilled to get a 5-shot with it. At long range,however, it beats everything except the DMR, and then the DMR, its counter part, wins hands down at close range.
If there is a problem, if any at all, then why not fix it? O yah, and if this patch that happens angers you Syko Wolf, I suggest you ADAPT!
