While the Beam Rifle was a more powerful weapon, it's good that the Focus Rifle took its place in the Reach sandbox to promote variety. There's no reason to have two weapons that are pretty much identical.
A useless weapon is not an improvement over a duplicate. The beam rifle was a power weapon, whereas the focus rifle is not.
If you think the FR is useless or "not a power weapon" you're using it wrong. Don't use it like a sniper weapon, use it like a superpowered AR.
It fills a completely different role than the Beam Rifle.
