No, you are fundamentally flawed. The BR is intended to operate at medium range. The AR lists its range as "short to medium " while the BR lists its range as "medium to far". However to say that the intended range of the BR is to include "far" is wrong. Just like it would be wrong of me to say that the AR's intended range is "medium". That's clearly not the case in either of those weapons. As far as I'm concerned the BR works perfectly inside it's intended range, which according to Bungie is 18-20WUs. You seem to think that the intended range of the BR is something else entirely. As such the weapon is working fine you are just "doing it wrong" or at least having the wrong expectations of the outcome. If you are operating the BR outside of 18-20WUs away and expecting a consistent 4-shot your expectations are wrong based upon the fact that you're using the weapon outside it's intended range.
I don't know if I can explain it any more clearly without simply repeating myself over and over again. The BR is not broken as you seem to think it is. It might be "broken" when compared to your preconceived notion of how the weapon should operate but then the problem lays squarely with you and none with the weapon. If I were to think that the ARs intended range was medium range because it's listed as such, I'd think it was horribly broken as well. It's not because I realize that the intended range of the AR is far closer than that.
I'm sorry BakedPotato, the weapon isn't broken, your perceptions are.

Well actually, my original post listed the AR as short range, BR as medium range and Sniper as long range. I changed it for my post because that is what I believe it to be. To see my original post, check the top of page 12.
Not broken? How ignorant can you be! You say that the BR's intended range is 18-20WU's away, but then say that it works perfectly in that distance? Berserka, may I ask how often you actually pick up a BR? You've hardly played Halo over the last few months, so I begin to wonder whether your argument stems from actual gameplay and experience, or are you merely following Bungie. The BR does not work in its intended range, and if you decided to play in the MLG playlist, you would notice this. The spread of the AR doesn't need to be changed, it works perfectly in its intended range. The spread of the Sniper doesn't need to be changed, it works perfectly in its intended range. The Battle Rifle does not work at its intended range, which is, as you keep saying, 18-20WU's.
I'm sorry Berserka, the weapon is broken, and maybe if you actually played Halo and used the Battle Rifle you would notice this.
