unstead of tuning the BR down why don't they just increase the weapon power of the other guns,i'm up for not having quite so many guys running and hiding(waiting for there shields to recharge) as soon as i get a couple bullets in them!
if the other weapons did more damage then they could just increase the shield recharge rate. well personally i would like to see the other weapons better then they are now because the only weapon i will use now is the BR,because it IS way better then all the other one's,i want to play other gametypes beside's only big team slayer (because the default spawn weapon is a BR) or team swat, i want to have a real reason to pick up that SMG or spiker.

Ugh...

First on a BWU.. yeah, I'm cool.

ODST;MYTHIC Screenshot winner! One of the first to get their hands on the mythic map pack.

This has been suggested, especially with the dual wield weapons. If those weapons were single wield, their power could be increased.

because people would still be running away from you. Say I had an assault rifle and you had a BR. Even if I had increases power it wouldnt matter because unless we were at close range only about 2/3 of my clip would hit you which unless thear was un mega steroids, wouldnt kill you. Also bungie probably doesnt want reach turning into a hard core everybody kill the variety of the other weapons by only using BRs and trying to be MLG

If you want to have fun when playing games, relaxing and other stuff like that, feel free to drop by and join The Gaming Knights.

The reason why is because the BR is so damn close to being a Game Breaker. You don't need to use anything other than it because it works in every single situation there is.

This. This is almost completely true. They gave just a bit too much versatility to the BR to consider the AR the "ultimate spawn weapon." This just compounds the ARs percieved "uselessness" as it seems an unecessary middle ground between the BR and SMG.

yes but then it would at least be even because just think,AR is close range,it's sepposed to lose at medium range,but right now i still own at close range with the BR,suggesting they turned the other weapons up tho the assault rifle would have the close range advantage,and would come out on top :)
