From what I've seen, the battle rifle seems very cool and balanced. It is, in a way, what the pistol never was. The pistol was always a top sniping weapon because of power, accuracy, range, and ammo capacity, but was weak in closer battle because it did not have enough ammo. With the battle rifle, you have more shots for range, and in close the three round burst, although wastefull, will also quickly and easily destroy your enemies because of the bullets power (From what I've seen and heard, the battle rifle bullets are as powerful as, or slightly weaker than, the old pistol rounds. Correct me if I am wrong please)
I agree that it will have a certain weakness at range, but the burst fire seems to be accurate enough to give you enough time to get the scope on and start sniping.
