I'm not sure what you mean. The AR is a good weapon, yes. Having the BR there or not seems irrelevant.
The Battle Rifle is pretty much unarguably the utility weapon of the Halo franchise. It has a multitude of uses in almost every situation you could encounter, has a lot of ammo normally, has little to no drawbacks, and is readily available in most situations. By removing it from ODST, players are forced to use more weapons to deal with these differing situations, leading to a higher amount of weapon variety, and bringing out each weapon's strengths and weaknesses.
I don't know about you, but I spent almost every minute in Halo 3's Campaign and Multiplayer either walking around with a Battle Rifle or aiming to acquire one at some point. Whereas in Halo 3: ODST, I used a much higher variety of weapons in both Campaign and Firefight.
