The br is overused because it is the only mid-ranged weapon that is placed on every map. The pistol is useless and the carbine is only on 2 or three maps. It is one of the most effective weapons when used by a skilled player, as it should be. It is because of this that the br is overused.
People think it is overpowered because skilled players use it, so when they are getting spawn trapped, it is by the br or possibly the sniper. When's the last time anyone set up a spawn trap using the pistol?
My solution, add more mid ranged skill based weapons. Use the carbine as a starting weapon or place it on every map that the br is placed on. Bring back the HCE pistol and make it the most effective mid ranged weapon. 3 shots to the head for a kill. With this variance of mid ranged weapons the br will not be as overused so it will not seem overpowered to the lesser skilled players.
Its not the br that is broken its the lack of other effective mid-ranged weapons. And the br WILL be in HR so don't even argue about it.
This post is full of win.
I'd say make the BR the primary starting weapon. Then go ahead and make the Carbine a bit more powerfull and place them where all the BRs used to be. Then take the HCE Pistol (ahhh best weapon ever, 10x better than ODST pistol) and place it very sparingly all over the maps, maybe one or two pistols each map.
Now, take this concept and apply to Reach.
