This is kind of the quandary I wanted to suggest with the "should we just remove AR headshots" question.

That is an interesting proposition. I have never really used the AR so I cannot speak from experience but that seams fair. It still wouldn't save Chaos' favorite gun though...

Durandal raised the excellent point that AR's were really abused by the top players, and that alone is maybe a good enough reason to change them.

That may very well be what happened.

I don't know if there's a good answer. Would having ranked playlists solve all of these issues? Or at least crystalize the issues? Or would that potentially make problems like this worse?

I remember when they tried that with Halo Reach and the result was an empty Arena playlist. It turns out that the top players preferred to play against lower level players in regular matchmaking rather than have their rank go down in the Arena. Perhaps most people prefer winning to competition.
