That I rarely see or fight some of the most powerful weapons in the game smg,shotguns,scrambler pistole ect (THE most powerful weapon in the game in my eyes)

So I started thinking why.

The answer: they are hard to use.

Everyone wants to use weapons that are easy to use and it's made no better when these weapons have no or little drawback (looking at you full auto AR guys) hell these easy to use weapons are not only easy to use but have been made more powerful so there's not much diffrence to the effectiveness of them as well so realy there's almost no need for 'situatinal' weapons that do something better then others because of the small gap in effectiveness unless used enmasse.

Why is this? Hell I've not seen some gear since the start of uprising like the burst AR (realy I havn't seen that thing at all)

Thoughts?

also speed typing without spellcheck so sorry for grammar.

AR is easy to pick up and use but it takes a lot of skill to be very good with. Using a duvolle is not an easy 20+ kills a match, only the players who have the skill to maximize its potential do it consistently. I pay attention to the kill feed and when I see Proto ARs and SCRs I always go right after those players to see how they stack up. More often then not it ends with me killing them during their attempt to cook a grenade out of desperation. True skill with this weapon comes down to the ability to maintain aim on a strafing target while you are also strafing and in my case that's with the DS3.

Sorry Sinboto but there is a reason that AR players I have trashed in PC and pubs have switched to the Mass Driver and are putting up better scores in pubs and PC then they did with the AR. Its true and I have have seen it from our own members who have made the switch.

Carlos every time you reply to me on the forums I'm confused as to weither or not i've been insulted.......

Hit detection is the biggest reason you see nothing but ARs and explosives.

Althought i've been using the assault smg last few days... its a pretty solid weapon and the armor bonus is wicked.

Despite how OP shields are i'm still surprised to see so many armor tankers out there, the bonus is quite nice.

If I do come across a shield tanker... I just need to pop an lolflux nade and im guaranteed to drop almost all of their shields. Flux nades require no skill whatsoever.

I'm not insulting you I'm just stating my opinion on your post stating

"(looking at you full auto AR guys) hell these easy to use weapons are not only easy to use but have been made more powerful"

I see my fair share of SRs, FGs, MDs and a whole slew of sidearms. I cant remember the last time I actually played a game of AR 514, it's looking like there's at least some diversity these days

scrambler rifles are only slightly less common than ARs. Im not sure why that is, as with the sight they have they're definitively better, I assume it's just do to the fact that people haven't had their eyes open to them.

It's most likely because when scrambler rifles came out, people were already specced into/speccing into ARs, since that's all there ever was. For me, at least, there was no way to test out a scrambler rifle, and its just not worth it to risk my precious sp on a weapon that wasn't tried-and-true. Incidentally, the AR also helped push me into Gallente suits, since I figured the fitting bonuses would be most helpful early on (in the early part of the sp game) when all core skills weren't at level five.
