No, but the SMG could use a 2x.
Zombie sandbox:
-Magnum
-Shotgun
Matchmaking sandbox:
-Br
-Sword
The magnum and shotty weren't underpowered - they were perfect....for zombies though.
The Br is not overpowered to the point where it rules all other weapons. It is the jack of all trades and master of none. That is why it is the perfect starting weapon. Then you have easy-to-use duals for learning players that SHOULD be less powerful than the BR because they are easier to use.
The BR was not overpowered because it did not dominate ANY range let alone all ranges. Rockets dominate mid range. The sniper dominates long range. The sword dominates close range. And things like the Plasma Pistol etc were specialty weapons.
IMO H3 got the needler perfect.
Include zombie and MM versions of the pistol and shotty, switch to the H3 needler, put a 2x on the SMG, make every game BR/SMG starts, buff the carbine and make it more accurate with less auto aim and make it sound more bad-@ss, fix vehicle balance, 103% movement and 110%acc for strafe, retool the engine for widescreen HD, xbox360, bumperjumper, include toggle switches for bouncing and button combos by gametype, slap on theater, and you have one hell of a game! The greatest game of all time I would say.
I think thousands of people would pay 25-30$ for an xbl arcade version of that!
