Since when is the DMR considered a "noob" weapon?
I'm not posting this in waypoint because 90% of the people there believe it is. I just don't understand how, especially compared to the AR which IMO acquires very little skill. I thought AR was considered the biggest "noob" weapon, at least in Reach but from what I seen on the Halo 4 forums, DMR is the new AR.
I always assumed more skillful players choose the DMR because you need to have good aim. If your aim is horrible, the DMR is nearly useless. So can someone care to explain as to why it's now the "noobiest" weapon in Halo 4?

Edited by Jaaake AU: 2/21/2013 4:19:32 PMBecause of the bigger map sentiment taken by 343i in Halo 4, the DMR allows pretty much everyone with two thumbs and a brain to get easy kills. I had graphs to show the range of the DMR on H4's base maps, but I can't seem to find it. Regardless, it doesn't take a genius to figure out that a weapon that can effectively ping and kill players from across the map uncontested is broken. Therefore, I guess that sentiment drives some to the conclusion that it's a "noob" weapon. Admittedly it works on small maps like Haven (just Haven... there are no other small maps), but once you break outside of close/medium quarters, it simply has no counter apart from itself and a powerweapon. So, IMO, it's not a 'noob' weapon, it's just a weapon that breaks Halo 4's maps and probably shouldn't have been in the game in the first place.
