The real problem with the BR is that it's a huge topic of discussion when there's nothing of importance to discuss about it.
It's a gun that fits the role it was made for just fine. It ain't perfect, and it never should be.
That's the problem, the role it fits in Halo should not be there. That KIND of weapon shouldn't exist in Halo, it does mess up the gameplay.
Halo relies on a balance of all the weapons together, like a big round teeter totter, putting another weapon in the middle like that means that all the other weapons become obsolete, they can all jump off the teeter totter and that one weapon can be the only one there. THAT is the BR's role, and it should NOT exist.
Take the BR out, and the balance gets completely shot to hell. Without the BR, Snipers become incredibly overpowered. I wonder, what you are going to do with an AR when there is a sniper staring at your spawn? I'll answer that question, you'll die, over and over again, until he runs out of ammo.
The BR is a textbook medium range weapon, and the fact that you think a medium range weapon has no place in an FPS is completely laughable. Have you played other FPS's? Halo CE, Halo 2, counterstike, Call of Duty, Half Life, all the shooters I played for PS2, hell even Goldeneye for the N64 all had medium range weapons.
If you really take it out, snipers will have a field day. I know I would get at least 6 head shots per sniper, because your AR won't do anything to me, giving me all the time in the world to line up shots.
