Hopefully this game will allow the use of Drones like in eve but we probably won't see that on the PS3. (at least give us small sentry turrets CCP)

To counter this, I personally use a flaylock as secondary to have a decent chance against armor.

Rogatien Merc Red Star. EoN. 723	Posted - 2013.08.17 00:01:00 - [19] - Quote 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..).
Nosid Katona HavoK Core RISE of LEGION 39	Posted - 2013.08.17 00:14:00 - [24] - Quote As an assault rifle user myself I can say i use it because of how effective it is in most situations. I am a team oriented player but I often outlast or just get separated from my squad do to my playstyle; which leaves me on my own against one or more opponents. To be effective in such a situation I chose to run an assault rifle since it is effective against different types of enemies; is it best in all situations? In my opinion no. (In before Steve shows up for his anti AR chanting....) The AR can be outdone by other weapons in their situations; examples being SCR against shields, MD against armor (a little too effective? We shall see after the armor update, patience) etc. etc. Another thing that helped in my choice to continue to use the AR is none of the weapons we have right now feel like something I'd enjoy using for a long period of time; I tried the SCR and liked it, but it just didn't feel like my type of weapon. I might try the laser rifle next but other then that I can't see myself switching my primary weapon to anything else. I don't enjoy AOE weapons, they seem a bit cheap to me. I also feel the only time to use a shotgun in video games is when zombies are involved, using them against other people limits me to CQC (as all shotguns should) and I don't enjoy that as much. I would be a sniper in this game... If it wasn't so damned easy; I haven't used one above the starter fit since uprising started but from what I can tell nothing has changed, so no thanks. HMG? I'm not going heavy till the Gallente heavy is out so I think I'll put that one on hold. So until a new weapon is introduced or I get bored enough to try a weapon we have now and it totally blows me away, I can't see myself changing anytime soon. Vae Victis
Nicholas Silverton Granite Mercenary Division 17	Posted - 2013.08.17 00:16:00 - [25] - Quote So the pattern in your responses expectedly seems to be that you guys use the ar because it is usefully in any situation and because it is easy to use. I have another question for you: doesn't this go against combat in eve completely, where it takes much skill to be good with your ship and if you don't have the right ship for the battle you're ******?
Rogatien Merc Red Star. EoN. 724	Posted - 2013.08.17 00:19:00 - [26] - Quote 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.

Well if everything like shields and armor were balanced against eachother, all basic content promised upon release was included, and this wasn't a lobby shooter till further notice, I'd maybe agree with you; sadly this is what we have. When we have a tactics filled balanced between roles game where combat isn't so restricted this argument won't fly. Also you and I both know this is coming so I'll get it out of the way, this isn't EvE this is an FPS. Two totally different beasts and we aren't even really sharing the same universe yet, just the same setting and backstory in my opinion. Vae Victis
Henchmen21 Planet Express LLC 98	Posted - 2013.08.17 00:24:00 - [28] - Quote becasue I dont consider the PC and MD guns. But I use them fairly often, sniper as well. your base assumption that the majority of AR users use only the AR is just wrong.

RINON114 B.S.A.A. General Tso's Alliance 456	Posted - 2013.08.17 00:32:00 - [32] - Quote I use the AR because I like it. I like Gallente tech, and I like lots of bullets. I used to be specced into both heavies and HMG's plus AR's back in chrome but since all the training costs went up, I'm still recovering and also adapting to the issues Uprising brought like murder taxis so I specced into proto swarms. The AR is good because you can't really be 100% caught with your pants down in any combat situation. I can still scare LR users at their range, and it's acceptably useful in CQC against scout shotties because I have lots of bullets that are enough to scare them away usually. Finally, it's also because with the dodgy aiming it can be hard to hit stuff so 60 bullets is usually just enough to take someone down.

I don't really think something like DICE is the answer; I enjoyed BF3 when I first got it and only stopped playing once all the DLC was out and I got to try it all out. Yesterday I went back to BF3 and it has become just another twitch shooter; with the added displeasure of player run servers (If you wanna know why this sucks so bad go watch Battlefield Friends episodes on Admins) I hate twitch shooters, they aren't fun and simply frustrate me whether or not I'm doing well or getting my ass kicked. A bigger budget and development team would be nice though, maybe in time we will see this come to fruition Vae Victis

Yet you guys chose the most cliche weapon in fps history, does it ever get boring? It definitely gets boring, I used the AR for almost a year in this game and I got bored out of my mind with it. Which is why I loaded up an alt that had been collecting passive SP to try out many other weapons. Long story short, the AR bests all the other weapons I have tried... by FAR. The only weapon that stuck out as different but still incredibly useful, is the forge. Everything else in comparison to the AR, sucks. I've tried all the weapons below in their advanced tiers. Laser - Yeah, interesting to use but the sights are pretty awful and it is a highly situational weapon that gets out-ranged by an AR. Mass driver - Works pretty well and is a blast to use, but would never choose it over my AR for competitive play. Assault scrambler - Fun to use and I like the sound it makes, but aside from being able to have 72 rounds instead of 60 and having a RDS, the AR beats it in every other way possible, even in effectiveness against shields. Plus the muzzle flash is too bright. Scrambler rifle - I haven't yet played with the adv variant, but the std one overheats almost instantly and landing a charged hit is not very feasible in most situations. Plasma cannon - lol, do I even need to explain why this sucks compared to the AR? I haven't yet tried the shotgun or sniper in this build. But either way it is clear that the AR is just really good in every situation except sniping. Aside from having fun by trying new weapons, there is really no practical reason for anybody to choose the AR over any of the other light weapons when it comes to overall effectiveness.

The idiocy on these boards is running rampant! I can't wait till the next FPS game FOTY comes out and all you go there. How about after stripping the shields away, you switch to your SMG or Flaylock, or better yet, have your squadmate that's rolling with an AR, or MD, or any other armor bonused weapon, focus fire on the target?
Rogatien Merc Red Star. EoN. 731	Posted - 2013.08.17 05:18:00 - [37] - Quote 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.
TheAmazing FlyingPig Crux Special Tasks Group Gallente Federation 2740	Posted - 2013.08.17 05:22:00 - [38] - Quote I would think that the reason they're so common is that it exists in just about every other FPS out there. You pick up the AR and it feels just like the assault rifle of insert FPS. I honestly think it has less to do with effectiveness and more with familiarity.
Michael Arck sephiroth clones D.E.F.I.A.N.C.E 542	Posted - 2013.08.17 05:31:00 - [39] - Quote I am a Caldari assault. Most trusted weapon is the AR. Nothing shall ever take its place. A logi cannot be without his nanite injector, an assault can't be without his AR. It doesn't go against combat, in fact, it coincides with combat that a soldier/mercernary has his standard rifle. This sudden flux of AR topics that speak about them being OP or the heavy reliance by assault players is just downright absurd. It never gets boring. Hearing the sound of the fire like a woodpecker with those muffled sounds of bullet hits against a dropsuit is satisfying. Seeing the red bars rapidly deplete is satisfying. It never gets boring. It only gets better.

Because having the best of one well rounded weapon is better than having 3 mediocre weapons.

You don't win by having a ton of 'ok' weapons. You win by excelling in your one preferred weapon.

Taeryn Frost Zumari Force Projection Caldari State 47	Posted - 2013.08.17 07:13:00 - [48] - Quote I use an AR because it won't leave you woefully outmatched in a lot of situations. It won't match a heavy or shotgun at close range. It won't match a sniper or forge at long range. But it will be there when you need it. It is reliable and predictable. This is my AR. There are many like it, but this one is mine. My AR is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life. My AR, without me, is useless. Without my AR, I am useless. I must fire my AR true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will... My AR and I know that what counts in this war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit... My AR is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my AR clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will....

It's the M-16 of DUST. It was already in the game and we are still waiting on the other two racial variants. I'd assume CCP will rework the AR when the other two rifles hit. But it is the basic infantry weapon. It can't do everything. It is a general weapon for shooting ground troops. Maybe if they tied it's use to the dropsuit roles better like the SR is to the Amarr suit then that would be more reason to use the other rifles when they come out. I like the idea of adding jamming (apparently already exists to an extent) that can be overcome with suit role. Change the kick and dispersion bonus to the suit rather than the skill. Maybe get rid of the full automatic model and just have the burst and tac versions like the firing modes on an M-16. The Minmatar rifle will be the fully auto AK47.
