I mean, they’re supposed to be mid-range semi auto snipers, not assault rifles. There’s really no way you should be able to fire an M39 EMR 5 times in 2 seconds and have any semblance of accuracy.
But because they work like this, everyone and their dog runs around firing them on what basically amounts to full auto.
What I wouldn’t give for a little more recoil on those…
They are frustrating to go up against. That god awful noise…ugh. From experience though theres a huge accuracy drop-off when the DMR user comes under suppression fire. I usually try to throw a couple rounds + a grenade their direction which throws their accuracy off long enough for me to get in closer to take em out with my ACE 21. Like 75% of the time that tactic works unless you go up against someone with good situational awareness who keeps an eye on the minimap.
I’ve been complaining about the noise since release, typicically I get downvoted to oblivion and called some colorful names. But when I’m playing (PS4) and using that sweet wireless gold headset, THAT FUCKING RAPID SNAPPING MAKES ME CRINGE!!!
No, they’re fucking annoying to use. And hardly more effective than an AR on single shot.
I bet it comes from the players who usually just listen to music while playing bf4
I have no idea how they do it and I know one person who does it
Meh, I usually don’t have a problem taking out people using them closer range with my AR. I think the problem is that since they’re so unforgiving, the majority of the people who use them are really good with them. Those people would probably be just as deadly with a different weapon, and nerfing the DMRs makes it tougher for newer people to get into them.
The DMR reminds me of old school 1942.. the same reason I run around with unscoped sniper rifles. I just like the feel.
It reminds me of the semi autos in the original CoD, that’s what makes me love them.
I’m not a good battlefield player, I don’t play very often I put more hours into call of duty. I’ve tried to use the DMR’s a few times and for me they were so hard to use, so unforgiving if anyone suppressed me I was as good as dead. I’d get the first shot on target then found it almost impossible to finish off a moving target, I would die so many times in situations that with an AR or SMG I’d have won the gunfight, so I gave up on them. Then I watch lone survivor and wanted to unlock and use the MOD 12 I put a good amount of hours into using DMR’s now and I love them. There a high risk high reward weapon in my eyes, the recoil is more than you’d expect but with practise they shred. I’d recommend to anyone to give them a few hours, they are really satisfying to use.
