Subject: Are H3 weapons balanced?

I was wondering about this because I noticed that Halo 2 weapons aren't well-balanced. You know, BR, covenant carabine, human and alien sniper rifle, rocket launcher, sword, and brute shot are much more powerful than all the other weapons.
What about H3 weapons?
And Reach ones?

(No, since I'm a PC gamer, I've never played Halo 3 and Reach...)

Nope, but that's ok.

Everyone spawns with the same ones so you fight over better ones, which is good so long as the one you spawn with you can get by with.

Relax. I'd rather not piss this thing off.

I would say it is sorta balanenced as weapons have the same power BR is a 5 shot kill anywhere to the body the AR is good for close range plus the weapons are spread all over the map.

I have played on every button layout for Halo 3 in matchmaking.
It changes with my mood.

It doesn't matter

Lol, you are retarded. It is balanced because you have to fight for them on the map and/or because they take more skill than the other weapons.

Maybe that's why they're called POWER WEAPONS?

Hanger one I just shredded with the SMGs until ammo was out and I just threw 'nades like a boss while BRing.

My experience playing Cairo Station on Legendary

I believe that most weapons are, and then we have the Battle Rifle. This was like the candy of Halo. Everyone loves it and it works. Only issue is that too many people used it and it became the centre of attention so everyone lost interest in the other weapons. There's shouldn't be a universal weapon, but boy are the awesome when you know how to use them! They made the DMR to stop the BR from dominating in next to all situations.
