Bojo The Mighty Zanzibar Concept 1496	Posted - 2013.08.16 21:08:00 - [1] - Quote Right now, I feel like the Burst AR has the potential to be my favorite weapon but: -Scope zoom seems too narrow for the lesser range of the tactical -ADS tracking seems to slow -Possibly bring back 5 shot or do something funky with damage/RoF I like the extra range to the Burst AR but right now the ADS is more set up for Tactical AR making it rather "cumbersome" for it's shorter range. It's kind of like using a sniper rifle in too close of range. As of now it's hard to place shots when the target is moving because the radius is shorter, thus the target appears to be moving faster but using Tactical AR setup for the burst is far too slow. I find myself resorting to Hipfire because of tracking seeming slow. I'll probably give it several more go's and see if I learn anything else but these are my prominent impressions. I can't seem to place a whole lot of shots accurately due to slow tracking and only 3 shots.

The burst assault rifle needed a rate of fire increase even with a burst of 3 shots. I agree, the burst out DPS the normal AR but with only 3 shots, not by much. Needs to be 5 with higher RoF. ....and the scope/ADS tracking needs to be sped up

If you change the damage or shots, people will say it is OP. No, the Burst Pistol is a head shot machine. The Burst AR as of now is something more appropriate for finishing off the wounded. It's accuracy is fine right now, it's at a good place. No, people will not say it is OP if you change the shots, it used to be 5 shots back in Chromosome and it wasn't OP.

I remember a long set of shots, 5. But you could be right it could've been 7. But 7 might have been codex, 5 Chromosome, and 3 now.

I remember it was beast in chromosome.... Yeah but the issues I stated, like slow ADS tracking, actually impact it's overall use quite a bit.

Hope aiming changes apply to BAR. -Bojo (n) Bone Jockey will become a widely popular insult around 2014, then be shortened to "BoJo" in 2015.
