M392 DMR: Difference between revisions

*In earlier stages of the [[Development of Halo: Reach|development]] of ''Halo: Reach'', the M392 was stamped with the label "Armalite MG UNSC"; sharing a name with the real-world [[Wikipedia:ArmaLite|ArmaLite, Inc.]] The decal was removed in the final game and ''Halo: The Essential Visual Guide'' states that the weapon is manufactured by Misriah Armory.{{Ref/Reuse|EVG}}

*The DMR held only twelve rounds until quite late in the development of ''Halo: Reach'', most notably in the game's [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta|multiplayer beta]]. The increased magazine capacity was likely intended to afford the possibility of attaining three kills with a single magazine. Also during the ''Beta'', the background color and numbers of the M392's ammunition indicator were green instead of blue, and the numbers were more rounded. The scope's lens was a deeper shade of green than in the final game.

*In the ''Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta'' the assault rifle was given to players' Spartan models in their service records, as in ''Halo 3''. However, in the final game, this was replaced with the DMR. Similarly, Elites, who were formerly depicted carrying the [[Okarda'phaa-pattern plasma rifle|plasma rifle]], are now drawn carrying the Covenant equivalent of the DMR, the [[Gadulo-pattern needle rifle}}|needle rifle]].

*The [[MIL-FBS-295937(1)B Field Manual|''Halo: Reach'' manual]] has a printing error that reverses the "effective combat range" listings for the DMR and the sniper rifle, saying that the DMR is most effective at long range, while the sniper rifle is described as excelling at medium-range combat while being inadequate at long-range engagements.

*In gameplay the DMR incorrectly ejects the casing of the [[M634 Experimental High-Powered Semi-Armor-Piercing|9.5×40mm]] round used by the BR55 battle rifle instead of the 7.62×51mm round which it actually fires.
