If you honestly believe that the BR is not overpowered, and everything else is under powered, READ THIS!
Increasing the power of every other weapon would balance the BR. That is true, but imagine what that would be like. ARs would need much more accuracy if they are to be balanced with the BR. They would become effective at much farther ranges, only making more "bullet spray fests" you hate so much.
SMGS would also need more accuracy, and less recoil. They would shoot a little farther, but would no longer have to be fired in short bursts.They would become very deadly weapons at short range, and if fired in bursts possibly deadly at mid range.
Plasma Rifles would nees increased accuracy, and a slower overheat rate. They would cut through shields fast, leaving you open to a grenade, headshot, or just more plasma spray with little to no notice.
Those are just a few examples. All daul-automatic weapons would be farther ranged and way deadlier. If a guy comes up behind you and opens fire with his Plasma Rifle/SMG combo, you would likely be dead before you get in melee range. ARs could spray you from mid range, making a BR much harder use because you can't scope. Imagine a full auto BR. Great and fun to use, but completely frustrating to be shot by.
In short, play Halo with 150% damage turned on, and you'll have an idea what it would be like to increase power of all weapons.
the plasma rifle was perfectly balanced in HCE...just make it more like thatWhat about the SMG, and Spiker? They will become more powerful, and they were not in CE. What can we base them on? What about Bruteshots, maulers, hammers, and swords? This is not Halo: Combat evolved, so we can not turn to that for all our answers.
ugh you missed the point
im just saying...increasing the damage is not the only way to make a weapon more effective We could give them more accuracy, add larger clips, and probably other stuff im not thinking of. The thing is, all weapons balance with themselves right now, except the BR and the magnum. Where most have enough ammo for two kills, the BR has enough ammo for three, and it has a rather quick reload, and functions at all ranges. The mangum, on the other hand, has onle enough for one kill per clip, and is not a very accurate weapon.
Take the SMG for example. It is deadly at close range. To balance that, it has a small clip. It is only effective for about 5 seconds before you reload. To prevent people firing a full five seconds, recoil kicks in after two seconds of continuous fire. Now, it is effective in short bursts at close range.
Let's look at the BR. Kills in four headshots. Has a X2 scope. TO balance it killing at extreme ranges, spread is added to the bursts. It is still accurate at pretty far ranges, and it can kill in about two seconds. If you fire it from extreme ranges, you can kill in 5 or 6 headshots. Using a few extra shots per kill still allows two kills (plus a few extra shots) thanks to it's large clip.
So, while most weapons have a flaw that limits them in some way, the BR can still be used in so many situations. Even by increasing other weapon uses, the BR is just too versatile in it's current state.
