In my experience, the BR users are often overwhelmed at close range. The "Close range people" tend to often carry a Mid range weapon with them (like a BR or AR). I agree with you that the M6D was perfect when pulsed, I still use that trick when I play Custom Edition, But I think that the BR fills a similar role in Halo 3. The only problem with that is the burst does send off accuracy.
Well I think before you act like you understand Halo 3 you should at least get a 1,000 games under your belt, perhaps a highest skill of at least 30 as well. At your level yes the majority of the BR users will get overwhelmed by the AR but this is because they are learning how to use the BR and how to use grenades. When you get to the higher levels using the AR is generally a bad idea unless you are ambushing unaware players as you will probably find a grenade in your path followed by a burst or 2 from a BR to finish you off.
Also I would suggest the time to use the AR is when you are host as it is insanely overpowered in this scenario and most players will not be able to 4 shot you.
You think that just because I have played less games that I don't understand Halo 3? I have played several games with high ranked players who have still fallen to the ARs of Me and others. And gredades can be used by the lowest recruit effectively, the people at my rank are plenty good, even better than some at yours or higher. BR 4-shots are not the unbeatable strategy that you describe them as, they are beaten regularly in CQB scenarios and are defeated at long ranges by skilled snipers and laser users. Don't say that just because I am of lesser rank that I don't know what I am talking about.You may want to clarify if the gamertag linked to your profile is your first one or not, because that can throw some people off on how much experience you have (and your *cough*.69 K/D ratio*cough*).
Anyway, those who understand Halo, and Halo 3, will know that a Grenade coupled with a Headshot weapon beats EVERYTHING at close-range, ESPECIALLY the Halo 3 BR. If someone is camping in the Sword room on The Pit with a Sword and I have a BR. Guess what? I toss a Grenade and run in there and "KAPOW," he's dead. You would NEVER catch me doing that with the AR or any other close-range weapon. BR, Carbine, M6G, and Sniper all give you that ability to kill a close-range advantage, provided you have a Frag. If I'm out of Grenades, which is a rarety, I'll probably use the AR or other close-range weapon situationally.
And, if you are consistently beating BR-wielders like you make it out to be, then you are not playing with very good players regardless of rank (which btw means nothing).
The reason why people complain about BR starts taking away from variety is because most people prefer it over most weapons, with its ability to fight at ALL ranges (except for long-range in Halo 3, of course) and it can defend against Power Weapons, unlike the AR, SMG, etc. Usually, and by usually I mean most of the time, when an AR user beats a BR user at close-range it is due to the BR-wielder having a missed grenade (usually due to lag) or not having a grenade at all. And, at mid-range the BR-wielder almost always wins (with a good connection and reasonably tight spread).
Though, with all this said, I'll use the M6G Magnum over the BR and AR anyday. It's more fun with similar capabilities as the BR.
