I feel like an increased rate of fire + increased recoil= an unsatisfying weapon

I have lvl 3 in all light weapons (except ARs, Swarms, Sniper Rifle, and MDs) that way i'll always have diversity in this game, and support this idea.

Are you serious a real AR 15 has over 500 yards in hitting a point target. I use to qualify at 500 yards in the Marine Corp and could hit 10 out of 10 rounds into a mans heart. The distance you suggest is near a SMG not a rifle. If they do decide to alter the AR they need to refund all SP to everyone that wishes to opt out.

Instead of adding overheat why not just reduce the clip size to 45-50.

Not even reading original post.

Ar 15 has 400 yard range.
Ak 47 has 250 yard range.

How is it that in the future the ar has less range?

Seriously.....learn to creep on maps, use cover and fight by logis or in larger groups.

None of the players in the above thread are good with the AR

... yet they constantly try to balance it

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

If CCP wants to balance they should ask the pros, via private channel

You do know that your range "tweaking" is the same as leaving the damn thing alone right and even increasing the optimal range on it by a bit right

**** like that is why I cant take the guys crying about the AR seriously, they dont seem to really understand how it ******* works in the first place and propose things that wont alter it at all in any real way

Just tone the optimal range and add more dispersion/kick. CCP made the biggest mistake by listening to kneejerk reactions during the first week of Uprising. Everyone was so used to sharpshooter and aiming was horrible, but instead of fixing the latter, they caved in and gave everyone automatic sniper rifles.

No they shouldn't. As I almost guarantee that if they take suggestions from people like you, then this will quickly turn into COD514.

Plus this is not your game. It's everyone's game. So everybody will, shall, should, and would have an equal say in what happens to it.

And I highly doubt that you have played with everyone in this thread to an extent where you can judge their performance with any weapon. Or could it be that you maybe are just saying this because you don't want anything to happen to your precious AR.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Go back to COD. We don't need you here.

CCP has already stated that the current version is temporary. Supposedly it will be reworked when the Combat Rifle and Rail Rifle come in.

I believe it should be reworked NOT nerfed.

-Reduce the effective range to 35 meters(not when they register but how much damage is done at long ranges) after which the damage would abruptly drop to 50% and eventually drop to 25% after reaching 60 meters.
-Increase damage at 0 to 15 meter range.
-Increase rate of fire
-Increase recoil(due to increased recoil, not due to recoil increase per shot)
-Include over heat if more than 40 bolts are fired continuously*--READ NOTE--

The AR should be a glorified SMG with more damage, less rpm, less ammo, better range and slightly better recoil.

Just my thoughts.


Note*:
Instead of over heat, how about increased muzzle flash after 30 shots? Not brighter, just bigger. That way, it is harder to spam shots from a long distance.
