Here is the stupidity of blaming the AR for the "rush" tactic that your complaining about, anyone with half a brain will not run into an opponent while shooting with the intent on meleeing them, that is foolish. The weapon doesn't promote this, inexperience does.
The AR does it's job in the right hands, a short-short mid autorifle. The BR on the other hand is entirely off-balance, allowing for strong performance accross the spectrum, this is a problem that needs to be a fixed.
The AR doesn't "newbify" gameplay anymore than the BR makes a player PRO. They are both weapons that offer an avenue of attack, but while the AR's is limited (as it should be) the BR's offering is far broader, hence far more appealing.
It doesn't work on short range since the AR guy will RT + B you.
Again if your "jousting" with the guns, that is your fault. I've outshoot and been outshot with BR's multiple times at close range. The only up close situation a BR fails in is against pointblank weapons (shotty, mauler, sword).
It doesn't really work on midrange since you can't even 4-Shot a guy from Top Gold to top snipe tower on guardian.
Your kidding right? Doesn't work from midrange? That's the whole weapons appeal, and most of the game is currently played from mid-range. Certain maps that don't promote fire-lane camping (thank god) will hurt the BR, and that's a good thing, but the weapon itself functions on mid just fine.
And it doesn't work on long range since not a single bullet is hitting on long range because the damn weapon is spreading.
Again, I don't know what game your playing/watching cause the BR can make shots at longer range, not sniper distances, but long range. I certainly understand the issue with spread, but that does not render the weapon as useless as you are making it sound in your post, if anything it is one of the few things (if not the only thing) that brings the weapon "down to earth".
