I'm not going to agree with the BR being cheap, but I will agree that it should be taken out of matchmaking entirely or toned down a LOT.
Duals take far more skill than people seem to realize.
The Battle Rifle really makes Halo2 a one-dimensional game. Host becomes much more of a crutch when the Battle Rifle is in play. Duals almost entirely lose their usefulness. BRs become almost the only thing you CAN use unless they're REALLY rare.
Honestly, if you took the BR out, Snipers would be unfair, so my suggestion is to make BRs less common by a LOT except on the very large levels, or make the BR far less accurate. But if you do that, you have to make sniper rifles less accurate.
Changing the physics of the whole game is the only way to make the game 3-dimensional and still fair at the same time.
A lot of the comments in this topic are really biased, ignorant, and to an extent, stupid. But that's only to be expected.
