I thought that this was an uncommon view at first but I’m now seeing it expressed very commonly.
I’m regularly seeing people say that the AR should not compete with other weapons or should be removed from the game entirely. Personally I’m a major AR fan and prefer AR start to BR starts. To me the weapon embodies Halo as I’ve been killing covies with it since CE. It was a shame in Halo 3 and Reach where the gun was severely underpowered and a great relief when it was finally made competitive again in Halo 4 (despite that games other shortfalls)
IMO the AR, BR, and DMR should be equally competitive and have their own specialised ranges rather than the BR and DMR being superior at even close range like a lot of people want.
