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?

Well while I mostly agree with you (though I never had a problem with people using the Assault Rifle), one thing I've observed is that the definition of skill is relative. Just watch the game forums for a while. Noob combos, using only precision weapons, being able to use any weapon, camping, melee/melee weapons, long-range, no-scoping, full-scope close-combat, close-range, jumping, etc. There is no good definition of being "skillful" or a "noob" without being extremely generic.
