This poll isn't to cry that it's OP. It's to prove a point, how many of you would say the Assault Rifle out guns every gun in the game. Even with the game has a crappy aiming system and major hit detection issues the Assault Rfile is still effective in short to mid and mid to long distances. Imagine how much more accurate it'll be when they fix the aiming system and hit detection. No need for snipers (no not including red zone, but the real support snipers that help out). The assault rifle is more deadlier than even the mass driver. The assault rifle holds the most advantages over any gun. No troll just simply reply yes or no that the assault rifle has the most advantages over any gun. Not saying it's OP but saying that it's the most effective weapon in the game in almost all situations. Yes or No people. Keep the debates clean and please if you're going to debate make sure you have a strong point.

NO:

Yes it's OP. It has no real downsides and far too many upsides.

The only reason not to use the AR is if you don't want to be an AR crutch wielder.

Can we, the Dust community, stop this back and forth silliness. The MD vs. AR dead horse has already been beaten to an unrecognizable pulp. Backlash type threads like this do nothing to help. Can we please try to make some better threads with real discussion rather than getting bogged down in this crap?

No, the other light weapons need a buff, except MDs, Swarm Launchers and Snipers. The gun is just doing its job and feels like any other gun from other FPSs. In Chromosome it was OP because of the light sharpshooter skill, which made it jack of all trades master of all. Now I just laugh at its poor range.

-Scrambler Rifles need more range
-Shotguns more damage
-Plasma Cannons more damage and missile travel speed
-Laser Rifles more range and less heat build-up, should overheat at 20 ammo like in Chromosome

With those buffs the other light weapons can shine in their niche and you won't see as many ARs. But ARs aren't OP is the other light weapons that are crap.

Or another way to look at it is this: If you have a battle between 32 snipers, forge guns, or mass drivers, the gameplay is going to suck (not everyone will agree with this...). A battle between 32 ARs is going to be just fine, whether you find it boring or not. That's why it is the default weapon for most people, and will always be the most common choice.

So no, I can't give you a yes or no answer because you are not asking the right question.

To me, what you describe as "fine" gameplay is the entire problem. That's the epitome of brainless, no tactics lowbrow FPS. I hope Dust never even comes close to this.

I wouldn't say its op, it just lacks any downside unlike pretty much every other weapon in the game which have things quick limit them, overheats, charge up times, visibly giving away your position etc. Give the AR something that limits it like a shorter range or an overheat or a slower rate of fire. Weapons need something to limit them otherwise they become something of a jack of all trades.
