Seriously CCP, this thing is ridiculous, and it's honestly the only thing (Besides the obvious LLAV) that needs a nerf beating. I mean a REAL beating. For all the ammo it has, the damage should be pithy so that people have time to react to it, and it's range is still somewhat unreal, even without the sharpshooter bonus. (I miss you chromosome)
This thing looks as if it should work like a miniature HMG, so lets make it like an ACTUAL small HMG. Works the same, but is less effective overall. Like most things you're trying, I feel as if the AR should be a niche weapon, useful only in a designed role, in certain scenarios. It shouldn't be a master of everything, I don't even feel like it should be a jack of all trades.
It should possibly be powerful enough to make enemies check to make sure they're ready to take it on (Sufficient ammo and shields to win) but AR's shouldn't be able to go 20-2 in pubs.  |

For what? I think this was a well thought out reasonable post  |

As of right now, AR> Everything else. The tac is almost a sniper rifle, but apparently that's getting fixed. |

If your saying all ARs need to be nerfed then you are also including the other 2 in the works. This means you want to nerf 1/2 of all of the anti infantry light weapons that will be available in the game. And knowing the anti AR crowd they truly do want the AR to be useless. Unlike those who want actual weaponry balance the majority of AR haters will not be happy until ARs will literally be unable to kill someone. Why?? Well simple really its because the MD takes more skill 
I don't use the MD. The AR just shouldn't be any more effective than any other weapon in the game. |

Jimbo appears to be correct. Everything has been nerfed to cater to the AR. |

Except...The fact that it's THE useful gun in DUST 514. MD's time is almost up, then you AR users will reign supreme once again. Congratulations, who knows, one day this may force everyone else out of the game. Then all you AR's will have it all to yourself. |

I will start by posting every single weapon that I use on my proto dropsuit. Lets start with my primary weapon: GEK
Sidearm: Nope, I can't put one on (No slot available)
Grenade: Lai Dai AV
So lets see here...I can't use any grenade to kill your dropsuit or change to a sidearm to finish you off.
But OMG, I am apparently using an OP AR according to everyone on this thread. You know, the one that has to reload while you are trying to kill me with your side arm or your grenade. Yeah...that OP weapon. That OP ADVANCED AR. Cut me a break. Its a weapon where you actually have to shoot the person to inflict damage.
You can try and defend it all you want, but once the Nerf train starts...It doesn't stop for anyone  |

Seems like the same thing the flaylocks, HMG (Chromosome) Viziam and a number of other things said. Not to mention the things that didn't deserve a nerf. But...I'm archiving your post, so I can make it a topic when that day DOES come. |

Good idea. We leave the AR alone, and buff everything else to make it 2x as effective as the AR. Everyones happy |
