The main reason the AR is now undeniably OP is due to the new module introduced in 1.4. All ARs now come with the new module built in, and you don't even have to spec into them. The module I speak of is Aim Assist.
I know all anti AR peeps will call bullshit on that statement, which is fine. I also know many AR peeps will call bullshit on that statement, which is also fine. I no longer have the energy to argue with those who say Aim Assist doesn't really make any difference.
Remember the days of 7+ Mass Drivers pounding squads into the dirt every other match? Where did they go? On an extended lunch break? To Sea World? Some are still around, sure, but you don't see nearly as many anymore. I guess most jumped ship to hop on the AR band wagon, and why not? I don't blame them.
Of course, it makes me wonder why this wasn't the case pre 1.4. If the AR was so OP before, why wait to jump on board till now? Because the AR post 1.4 is the AR people were complaining about pre 1.4.
And now after bitching and moaning for so long, the urban legend that was the AR pre 1.4 has become a real life monster, gobbling up everyone and everything in its path.
I'm an AR user. The Aim Assist has benefited me immensely. What's that? The Aim Assist is not an issue and it's just the AR being OP? LMAO, ok, that's cool. Go ahead and nerf the AR. What will everyone say when peeps are still getting mowed down because the AR aims itself I wonder?
*sigh*
Oh well. I would tell people to save their breath and not spout nonsense about hit detection and hit boxes in response to my post, but that would be wasting my breath, so **** it, i'll jump on board the anti AR band wagon.
Hey CCP! Nerf the AR to hell and back, leave Aim Assist in place and as is, then after you introduce those changes i'll meet you back here on the forums in the "AR OP" threads that will still be here, and we can start the dance all over again. |

The joke of AR514 was funny before, but now it just isn't. They dominate the battlefield in almost every single situation. Rarely is any other weapon better than the full auto AR in any situation we have right now.
The fact that you have scouts and heavies giving up their shotguns and HMGs because ARs do their jobs better is a clear sign there is something very wrong.
Judging by the amount of likes you have i'm going to say you have been around more than long enough to know that plenty of people want the AR nerfed to hell and back. Most don't give good (intelligent) reasons or numbers, but the cry has been going out as long as I've been here (2 months roughly, not long I know). I personally feel the AR wasn't OP pre 1.4, but combine with AA it is to much. My feelings are I would rather have no AA and at most slight (slight slight SLIGHT) nerfs to the AR as opposed to heavy nerfs and keeping AA.
But that's just me. Everything I've said is merely opinion, not fact.
Things will be what things will be I guess. |
