look, i CAN aim. really, the only problem i have with the BR is that it makes other weapons useless... when was the last time you seriously used a PR in matchmaking? or how about those carbines? those SMGs? not used EVER.
EDIT: maybe the carbine is used on like 1 map (assembly) and in SWAT.
Perhaps that's because other weapons are useless? Outside of maps like Epitaph and Snowbound, there is absolutely no need to be picking up weapons like the Plasma Rifle or Spiker, that's not the Br's fault, that's the fault of Bungie making other weapons near useless. What's more is that, with Ar being the default starting/secondary weapon, there is even less need to pick up other CQC weapons, they don't function different enough and don't provide enough of a power boost to even bother to be picked up. As for the Carbine, it's on 1-2 maps and is so similar in function and power to the Br there is no need to pick it up.
okay, okay. but imagine this:
you have an AR, no BRs on map. you are on a map with many "useless" weapons. because your AR is useless on close range, you pick up 1/2 PRs, because the rounds are more precise at a longer range. or, you pick up another "useless" weapon, the MAGNUM, and do the ODST combo: take down shields with dual PRs, then headshot with the maggie. and nobody 4-shots you!
