ok well maybe it is overused but thats not its problem and has nothing to do with the BR itself.
There are all kinds of CQC weapons but only 2 mid range weapons, one rarely placed on maps. What do you expect? Of course the BR is going to get used a lot, you dont have any other options in mid range. If there was only 1 CQC weapon it would get overused to.
And the BR is not overpowered. People just stick to mid range because of how flawed CQC is. The melee is way too overpowered and simplistic. Thats a horrible combo to have because it negates any skill gap or dynamic gameplay.
If you want more weapon and gameplay variety dont look at the BR, its fine. You need to add more mid range weapons and fix CQC/melee. That way people will actualy venture into close range and when theyre in mid range theyl have more options than just the BR.
/retarded nerf the BR threads.

"The BR problem is actually caused by a problem bungie created in ALL weapons during the switch from Halo 1 to Halo 2 (which carried over in H3 and ODST). Play Halo 1. Most weapons have around 40 or 50% more range than they do in all of the Halo sequels. For some reason bungie cut the range from every single weapon in the game, thus making the game more close range, thus making these midrange weapons like the carbine and BR dominate easier because players don't have a weapon that accurately shoots further than at a distance of 5 to 10 feet away -_-"
