Sigh, its people like this who disregard weapon balance and are too hard headed to see that there are other people besides DMR users, who want a FAIR Battle instead of a STACKED battle, I agree to the fact that player skill makes a very huge difference, however, this does not mean that BR and Carbine users arn't crippled. Lets look at it this way, on a skill scale of 1-100, 2 players are at very similiar levels, 49 and 50 , lets say player A represents the 49, lets say player B represents the 50, Player A uses the DMR, an OP gun which earns him a +1 on the scale, Player B uses the BR so he earns +0. Now, both players are at an equal playing field. ( Notice that the skill floor is huge for all halos so +1 is a huge deal). People don't want to play with a cripple, so they use the default DMR. Now, to say that people are too bad to use the BR and/or the Carbine, so they cry for a change is correct for some people. Although, the majority ( I do think) wants the BR to have its own distinctive advantages so there can be the variety that 343 promised us.
Now, back in my MW2 days, there was a weapon that made me want to slam my controller across the room. This was the UMP45. It was downright OP, but I got away with using other weapons, still, I was beaten and battered by the weapon. Why? Because I couldn't help it! The gun was stronger. If my shots all connected and his all connected I would lose every time. Same thing with the BR and the DMR! The type of comment you posted enrages me everytime I see one. When I see comments like this I see: arrogance, stuburness, immaturity, and the attempt to dodge the fact there is an imbalance! If something is imba shouldn't we change it? Hopefully the answer is yes. The comment quoted above me is a true sign of bias. The DMR is undeniably over powered. You can check the stats yourself. Its way too good. Whether you like or agree with it or want it or hate it or not, this must be changed.
