The biggest problems with the DMR compared to the Pistol are that it's hitscan, too easy to hit with, and its effective range is practically unlimited. Unlike the Pistol, which had a clearly defined maximum effective range, the DMR can hit people with perfect accuracy from all the way across almost any map. Cover on most maps is sparse, so there's virtually nowhere you can go to be safe from DMR spam. Even the BR was less annoying on maps like Valhalla because you actually had to lead with it.
Light vehicles are pretty much useless because again, there's nowhere they can go and nothing they can do to avoid getting DMR spammed, and their health doesn't regenerate.
As DarkHalo said, the DMR would be fine as a pickup weapon, but it breaks the gameplay when it's a starting weapon.
