Your confusing the term "balance" in relation to an FPS game. The BR is the most usefull weapon in the game, hands down. The only weapon that is at least semi-effective at all ranges. Add to that the fact that there are little to no area's where a sniper can capitolize on it's range boost over the BR and you edge out it's advantage.
The BR is too good a weapon compared to the rest of Halo 3's lineup, and that is easilly proveable as to how many can be "pro" due to that weapon.
its not effective at all ranges...it is utterly useless in melee range and extreme long range against those ranges specified weapons
pros are amazing with all weapons...ive played triggers down in MLG and beat them and lost 50-10 in bungie vs the world AR spawns regicide vs them
DId you read my post? At all? There are few instances where the snipers range comes into play. most maps with those large fields of view have obstructions and limited fireing lanes, once again, limiting the snipers advantage over the BR.
I'll say this again, the BR is the most well rounded weapon in the game, the most usefull. If this wasn't true it would not be used by so many, it would not be constantly begged for by so many and it would not be consistently forced down our throats in so many game types. I agree that there are situational weapons that beat out the BR in their specialized field, but once again (and please read this time) those instances are few and far between. In typical gameplay the BR is far too effective, and not balanced for the current weapon set.
Ask anyone who has been around since Halo CE, the BR in Halo2 streamlined the gameplay, simplified it. The learning curve was flattened because all you need to be consistently dangerous is a single weapon. This is not balance.
did you read the OP?...at all
the only reason the BR is overused is bcuz it is the only mid range weapon in an FPS
FPS are always going to be predominantly played a mid range...your logic of its used a lot so its overpowered is flawed
You've got it backwards friend, it's not overpowered because it's used a lot, it's used a lot because it's overly usefull. Please read the damn post. You call my logic flawed and then say something stupid like the BR is the only mid-range weapon (carbine anyone?), c'mon now. I use the rifle often, for the same reason that many others do, because it is the most usefull weapon in the game across most common situations. This takes into account both weapon balance and map design.
So for the last time, since you consistently ignore the point, the BR is not balanced for Halo3 gameplay. If it was you would notice a great mixture of weapon use, but you don't. People will stay in situations that allow them to capitolize on their BR, because it's so effective.
