My issue isn't because people use them to snipe, oh no, it's the ones who use them as a shotgun that get me. Since the damn things kill in 2 hits from full health within about 20 meteres they're outright broken for close quarters, the damn things kill faster than the 870 does.
Heyzues, either you're playing Hardcore where DMRs are borderline overpowered, or you're getting too butthurt about getting killed by a bad weapon class.
They suck. An absolute downgrade in pretty much every stat from BF3. Less damage, a LOT more spread, worse hipfire, less sniping attachments, pitiable fire rate.
Oh, but they have a higher ammo capacity. They're bad at everything: helpless at close range against every gun, still pretty helpless at medium range against every gun, and they can only beat out
some weapons at far range, but I'm talking beating out shotguns without slugs or pistols.
In BF3 they were my favorite weapon class, especially on Rush. They were monsters at all ranges if you played the game right and your aim at close range was on the head.
In BF4, it doesn't matter where you aim, that second shot is going straight into the ceiling or about four feet to the side of your target. No matter what range you're at, you're outclassed, no matter what DMR you use and what attachments you shove on it, it's still going to be nothing more than an inaccurate noise maker and a dirt agitator.
I'm so angry how DICE neglected the DMRs to rot once they said having a 50+ damage scale didn't work. They could've made the DMRs have
the tiniest bit different damage models, but nope, all DMRs have to do 40-43 damage, and they all have spread to make using a pistol a shitton more viable. The only DMRs worth using are the SKS for the hipfire, the M39 EMR/SVD-12 (
because they have the same exact fucking stats, what the hell) for the "accuracy".
Another thing I'm annoyed with is the new AUG A3. I fucking love the AUG in all of the Battlefield games, they were really good at all range and all situations, and now the AUG A3 is only suitable for close range. The SAR-21 is pretty much the AUG A3 of old for being the accurate powerhouse AR that is a breeze to use at close range, but what if I don't want to use the SAR-21?
And not packaging the M60E4 on release and throwing it in Second Assault is pretty darn sad. I love the M60, not for any of its stats (though the ungodly suppression, accuracy, and damage it had in BF3 ended up working out), but because it's the goddamned M60. I think I'm only eventually getting Second Assault (and Premium in general) is for the M60E4, because I want my M60. The AS VAL is a bonus, that was a pretty fun weapon in BF3.
