If you have not played the Custom Map Team's campaign, you should do so now(it's on the main page)
I think what the guys did there was perfect. BR is far weaker, but its secondary fire and accuracy compensates, pistol is more powerful, low ammo, AR has less power than SMG, but more ammo, better accuracy.
What I'm getting at here is that instead of changing one weapon and hoping that it all balances it out, is that there is no easy way, and most, if not all weapons will probably have to be changed. Failing that, I would love the AR to be like the SMG in the CMT campaign. It has low accuracy, but it takes maybe half a clip to fell an elite at close range, about 5 well places bullets to kill a grunt(on normal), and it does not have much ammo. Yet it feels like power, and it is still usable at mid-range, and occasionally farther. You can obviously see where a BR or pistol would be more effective though. With bungie implementing both the SMG and the AR in halo 3, I believe they need to take a look at what CMT has done, and perhaps give AR more accuracy to balance it out.
