We got Jackals in the courtyard!
I think the BR is a bit overpowered. i don't think it should be a 'jack of all trades' weapon. yeah, 4 shotting takes skill, but almost anyone can 5 shot. i think the BR should be modified to be weaker at close range, or maybe harder to aim, like the sniper. that way it would still be usuable, but would take more skill, and is more of a long mid range weapon.
Maybe introduce another 3 round burst weapon that has a slower rate of fire (longer time between bursts) and have that be more of a mid-short range weapon. or give the MA5B the burst function of the books.
The fact that nearly everyone's tool of destruction is a BR means the BR is over used and overplaced on maps. for instance: why use a brute spiker or a carbine when theres a BR? simple. the BR would wipe the floor with them.
realisticly, Id think radioactive rounds or huge 8 inch red hot spikes coming into your armour would kill quite a bit quicker than 7.62mm rounds.
here's another idea: put in the automag (or a pistol like it, not a spec ops odst gun) and as I said before, increase brs range, but make it harder to use at close range. that way you have two weapons that could headshot
theoretically, autmag could be like a beatdown then headshot for close range, or used to cover yourself because its damage to shields isnt much. then you switch to BR and do anti sniping duty. i think it could work, but not with the current BR.
