I think that the BR is prefect and should not be changed, and that some of the weapons around it need a change.
I disagree. The BR is too ridiculously easy/random as is. In a 1v1 fight it's too random at all but close/medium distances to come down to distinguishable skill. On top of that, when it's team fired or used to clean up kills, it is SOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to get a headshot. You don't even have to aim at the head with the burst. Why make a burst weapon headshot capable? It's a n@@& weabon and highly overrated on the skill department - too well rounded to make gameplay with other weapons viable enough.
Give us a single shot BR and/or reduce the damage on it, decrease the rate of fire, or something.

Carbine: at least double the ammo
Carbines are where the skill is at. I love the carbines and they DEFINITELY need added ammo. You can get 2 kills per clip vs. 3 kills per clip on the BR (6 vs. 9 overall with all the clips). Why make a weapon that is harder to use less viable of an option?
Posted by: LekarranAssault rifle: make it head shot able, give it a sight Your ideas really go down hill on this one. Why? It's a close range weapon and doesn't need a sight (though if it is a starting weapon, it would give you some chance against BRs and such - so maybe it's not such a bad idea). But giving a spray weapon HS capability is absolutely dumb. It already kills quickly enough. It would be like BR2 if you made it HS capable.
Posted by: Lekarranmagnum: make it the ODST magnum except not silenced (so it makes a little more powerful sound) I think they sould up the ROF on the magnum or make it a 4 shot kill. It has short range, single shot, and can't beat out a BR all things being equal. It's not meant to beat a BR at long range, but it should do a pretty good job at close range. I say increase ROF and decrease damage so it can kill faster than a BR, but you have to be consistent and land the hits.

SMG: give it the range from ODST I think one major problem Halo has run into is that very few weapons are good options now. All you ever use is BR/Snipe/Rocks/Shotgun. Why would you ever really pick up anything else? Maybe for some fun, but you rarely ever do because it's actually useful. They need to find good niches for weapons. SMGs are for closer range, so I'd say up the power but keep the range the same or bump it up a little. With melee as strong as it is now, duals are pretty much pointless because you have to get close to melee range for it to be effective.
Posted by: Lekarran shot gun: give it a little more range, but keep it week from distance and powerful up close, it should take about 3 shots from the old SMG's range and one as close as a Halo3 player uses it While I don't want to make the shotgun any more powerful (which it sounds like it is what you propose on the surface), increasing its ability to do damage at some range may make it a little less of a camping weapon, but that's doubtful. I think it's great as is.
Posted by: Lekarran Energy sword: give the UNSC a knife that is faster, dosn't lung from as far, and cant clash, this would be picked up as equipment and would replace your melee, it would be faster than a beat down I don't like this idea at all. It's pointless.

frag grenade: up the power so one drains your shields completely (flashing red) IT already does. They're perfect and take skill as they are. Don't just turn them into spam.
Overall, they really just need to give the weapons a niche of their own and make all the weapons viable options for different situations. As it is right now, a few weapons fit everything.
