Yes, the BR has an advantage over the AR. It should, but it has a massive advantage over the AR where the AR onnly gets an advantage at close range. On top of that, the BR has an advantage over long range weapons because it has a larger clip and faster rate of fire then snipers and rockets.The AR is designed for close-range. Oh wait, I already said that. Sorry.
I would like to welcome you to why people prefer starting with a defendable weapon, whether it is the M6D, the BR, or even the M6G. It decreases the amount of this Rock, Paper, Scissors gameplay that you refer to. Halo 3 Default (as in AR starts) is weapon advantage and weapon advantage is Halo 3 Default.
And, the BR at long range? That is laughable. If the H3 BR beats a Sniper at long range, then the Sniper is an idiot and should change his tactics or weapon. On Valhalla, I can just sit somewhere while people struggle to put more than one bullet on me. It is extremely easy to Snipe with the current accuracy and power of the BR. But, you want it to be even worse? My only conclusion that I can make is you would like balance to be more dumbed down to help you use certain weapons, like the Sniper.
Would you be happy if the BR was a 5-shot instead? I already dominate AR users with the M6G Magnum since it has an apparent range and headshot advantage, so it won't change much. The main thing that will change is that the flow of the game will be super slow for an already slow game.The "rock paper scissors" style of play being an issue is all opinion based. Some like it, others dont.
I never said it is overpowered at long range, i said it overpowers long ranged weapons. If a BR and a sniper end up in each other's range, the BR has a greater chance of winning. If they are both half decent, they would strafe. The sniper has to land either a headshot or two body shots with a much smaller reticule. If it misses four shots, it has to reload. The BR has a larger reticule, has to land either three body shots and a head shot or five body shots. It can fire twelve times before needing to reload.
A 5-shot BR would just slow gameplay. Maaking it less effective at long range, and maybe even slightly decreasing the rate of fire, would make it effective only as a mid range weapon, and it, like all other weapons, would only serve one purpose.
