In all seriousness though, DMR is actually a mid-long range weapon meant to fill gaps between everything else and the sniper/beamer. Which is good in my honest opinion. At least now the BR can be contested and not destroy everything on the field from a safe range. It's still a good weapon, but it's just not the only one besides the Sniper/Beamer that can kill effectively from a good distance. The Carbine looks rather OP to me right now tbh, mainly because it has a faster firing rate than in Halo 3. I do like how everyone is saying that it's a lot more accurate now.
I think it'll be OK as long as there is a meaningful range limitation on the weapons, like the pistol in Halo 1. It could reach, but not to the extent where it began competing with the sniper rifle. I think that's the largest issue the following games had, the mid-range weapon could basically serve as the poor-man's sniper rifle.

I mean, I know "BUT REALIZM!" will show its face, but the range the DMR had in Reach was not good for play.

I'm also going to really miss the Needle Rifle. The Carbine can fuck off, the Needle Rifle was far more interesting and entertaining.
