ALL LIGHT WEAPONS BELOW:
ASSAULT RIFLE: Well, this is why we are here no? Good range, has + to shield which in current meta is awesome, tight ADS with decent sight picture and not bad for hipfire.
SNIPER RIFLE: Specialized and situational; must kneel to fire effectively, small clip size makes spray and pray unattainable.
SWARM LAUNCHERS: Limited anti-infantry use.
MASS DRIVERS: Can kill yourself; no-skill CQC FOTM piece of ****; harder to aim at range and travel time of grenade makes it less effective than AR.
LASER RIFLE: Was nerfed into oblivion and scope ******* sucks; damage falloff at close range; overheat makes this an Amarr Assault-specific weapon to be used to full potential.
SHOTGUNS: CQC only with no med-long range functionality; ****** up hit detection in present build
SCRAMBLER RIFLES: Less damage to armor than AR; overheat disrupts DPS potential and makes it another amarr-assault specific weapon to achieve full potential.
PLASMA CANNONS: I actually use this for the lolz. Another CQC weapon, but single-shot-then-reload leads to reduced survivability. Shoddy hit detection leads to necessity to aim at feet and rely on splash damage limiting the weapon's full potential.
....... so WTF do YOU want me to use? |

Yet you guys chose the most cliche weapon in fps history, does it ever get boring?
Thing is, you just ... die alot if you use situational weapons in the wrong situation. Like... spawn in with a lazor rifle and find yourself face to face with .... anything and you are dead. The Assault Rifle is the jack of all trades that is effective in more situations than other weapons; other weapons will be more effective in their specialized situations (shotgun at close range, sniper at long range, scrambler rifle against shield tankers, lazer rifle at long range when scope gets unfucked, etc..). |

Well EvE isn't really a good comparison. I'd compare it to other FPS honestly. But even in EvE over the years standard doctrines have developed whereby certain ships perform very well in many situations. The Hurricane and the Drake come to mind as being that sort of "versatile" ship.
But dude. Quit being Socratic, no one is getting on board the anti-AR train that didn't already have a ticket on the sleeper car. |

Also, the Scrambler Rifle - though very very similar in functionality - makes me look like I'm waving a ******* FISH around in my hands. Nom Nom Nom.
I therefore cannot use. That is all. |
