It would be overpowered if it could get headshots... I think that the AR should be upgraded to include one of the BR's functions (long-range supression).
If you hold the trigger, it fires in full auto, and is as inaccurate as the Halo 1 AR. You can fire slower by pulsing the triggers, and the accuracy will be somewhere between the H3 AR and BR. You could also tap the trigger for single shots, which would be as accurate as the H2 BR.
This AR would have a scope (like the SMG in H3 ODST), 45 rounds/magazine, and fires 10 rounds/second in automatic. If you land bodyshots, its weak (about as strong as the Halo 1 AR) but if you can manage headshots, there is a 200% damage bonus, so that we can out-AR people now.
We would still need a midrange weapon capable of headshots, so give us a "scaled up 117%" Spartan model Pistol (M6D?) with a scope, which would operate similar to the H1 or H3 ODST Pistol. I usually always agree with you. But, I think if designed correctly, unlike the OP's suggestion, it could replace the BR's fuctionality.
The OP's suggestion where when scoped it fires semi and auto when unscoped I thought was dumb, and would require a completely different damage set for unscope and scoped.
The way it would need to work would be like this...
Similar to how the RFG AR functions and similar to how the M6D functioned.
It is more accurate, alot actually, when burst fired and gets a wider of a spread when auto'd. It would be completely an automatic that the accuracy and RoF is controlled by the user. The damage points for body and headshots could be adjusted for balance to be as effective as what other mid-range weapon there is.
Which brings me to this...A single-shot weapon, as in the M6D, would still be in the mix if this was to happen. There is in no way that they would noobify the BR even more than it already is and not bring in another workhorse weapon with range.
But, there are ways to make every weapon deal headshots and still be balanced. Look at Red Faction:Guerrilla for example, which by the way has powerful single-shot weapons with the AR being the primary weapon (though a very easy weapon to use, yet still less powerful than the Pistol).
