The Halo 1 AR is just like the current SMG, or be a bit a tiny bit more powerful.
The Halo 3 AR is just a really bad starting weapon that ruins the game because of that. Frankly Bungie can keep their precious AR in the game as long as it is NOT the starting weapon.
A weapon that is just like the BR, except with a slightly shorter range and perhaps single-shot (but not as fast as the Carbine, maybe Halo 1 pistol speed), would be perfect.
It'll be a gun that takes some skill, is not useless over medium range (can be good against sniper on long range to stop spawn killing, but obviously range would be not be far enough to kill or do significant damage), but most importantly so that it cannot be whored and sprayed continuously to make small games full of spray + pray/melee fests and allow even beginners to beat the experienced.
It'll actually teach new-comers that Halo has more to it than just spraying and meleeing, uses tactics and aiming skills, and encourages intelligent gameplay.Any form of the BR is a crappy starting weapon just like the Halo 3 AR. The BR is too good at most ranges and allows for the player to not need to pick up other weapons.
