I do keep the BR if I get it because it is the best overall weapon in the game. But I actually drop my AR for ANYTHING, Mauler, Plasma Rifle, Spiker, WHATEVER. I do it.
Oh and for me, the BR, and Carbine are interchangeable. Heck, I even don't bother to pick up the BR sometimes if I already have Dual Magnums, because they kill faster.
no human weapon is exactely like its alien couter part, the carbines is actually more powerful then the br but alot harder to aim because it doesnt have spread. even is you miss slightly with the br you may still a bullet or two.
ever think that people dont use all those other weapons because they get you killed, theyre bad and we dont need thirty -blam!- versions of the assault riffle that you can dual wield, colts game just finished bye
They are actually better than the AR. Just single wielding an SMG or Spiker can kill faster if you can aim it. The Plasma Rifle drains shields ALOT faster and can assist a BR in killing EVEN FASTER than it already does. (And in Halo CE It was REALLY powerful with Headshots). They are better weapons than the AR, but they get ignored because players can't use them right. (When I open up with a Plasma Rifle, switch to a Carbine, or BR, and clean them off before their 3rd BR shot hits, I feel the power the PR really does have.)
They all also have their own unique purpose. The SMG has a high rate of fire, and a high bullet clip, with a lower overall damage per bullet. It is easy to aim, and more effective bursting at range than an AR. The Spiker is great at closer ranges, when you can actually land decent headshots. And has the highest Damage per bullet of any Fully Auto weapon. The Plasma Rifle is the most unique, it drains shields in 4 quick shots. And if your dualing with a Magnum, or switching to a BR, it is a VERY fast and effective kill. People just don't use these weapons right is all.
You are exactly right. The use and purposes of all the other weapons are shadowed out by the BR's universal usage. While I am not saying a well-rounded weapon is bad, I am saying that it should not be well-rounded in the sense of being the only thing in use and not out-competing most other weapons.
