Doesn't that just point out that it's overpowered?No. It could mean its overused, however, but that is not a fair accusation. Why?
1. The BR is the only versatile weapon in Halo 3, everything else is severely limited to their own range (most of them close or melee range), so they cannot compete with the BR. The close range weapons need to be able to compete with the BR at midrange provided they are used in the right hands (someome with the skill to repurpose a close range to a midrange weapon); a weapon should not limit a player's ability to kill, their skill should.
2. Team SWAT. 'Nuff said.
3. The BR is the only midrange weapon, for the most part, because you cannot spawn with the Carbine, and its not on most maps. On the maps it is on, its scattered sparsely around. There are 3 primary ranges in Halo 3. Close, Middle, and Long. Close range has a huge variety of (un-unique) weapons, so the kills are spread out among them so non stand out much in the ToDs. The BR, however, is the only midrange weapon, so it is the same as if there were only one close range weapon and everything else was midrange like the BR. We would be calling the close range weapon overused because it would be showing up most on the ToD.
