Goodbye COD514

Hello DUST

Live it up while you can. Soon as people start gravitating towards the next weapon we'll be right back to square 1. The AR is going to be close-medium range? So it should be on even ground with the Shotgun. I guess that makes sense, somewhere, somehow..........

I've noticed a bit more diversity on the battlefield lately. Makes me feel a lot better about the game. The Plasma Rifl... I mean assault rifle is just so damn .. vanilla. We're playing a space age shooter for christ's sake. Bring on the crazy weapons!!!!

Still haven't seen a small railgun kill yet......

I got killed by a small rail one time. True story.

Ive noticed in the past week a sudden decrease in AR's Are OP threads. Maybe its because 90% of people agree they are range broken, or maybe it is because CCP already confirmed they re supposed to be Close - mid range instead of out DPS'n Scrambler rifles and Lasers at optimal range...

but this is not the only thing i've noticed.

IN GAMES the amound of Ars is decreasing. Maybe im blind,but i've been seeing ASCRs,SCRs,SMG's SHOTGUNS!, mass drivers again,etc....HELL,i even went vs a squad full of plasma cannon users! the MADNESS!
BREACH AND BURST ARS> WHAAAAAAT....

MAybe people are just realizing they need to find a new weapon to use since ARs are not going to be KING OF ALL TRADES anymore.

I think this is a good thing, for 2 reasons:
GÖª The diversity has increased to a pleasurable level where not only you have a chance to fight back since you dont have 3 guys shooting at you at the same time with GEKs (and we all know thats 100% death sentence) but you get the chance to adapt more with your weapon to different situations.
GÖª THE Plasma rifle or AR as its commonly known WILL be classified as a CQ weapon,so its another weapon scouts will be able to use with a certain degree of advantage over other weapons.

Discuss.

Or maybe they never were you simply didnt have a large pool of people with leveled up, weapons to compare. Anyone that sits here and says the ar does more damge at lasers optimal range is an idiot, the weapons optimal starts at around 80 meters my efficacy drops to under 60 percent at 65 meters, who is this dude and who says dumb stuff like that and where are the people who know better telling him to stfu? Please make video of an ar out dps the laser at optimal range, 80, to 100 meters, this idiot must never look at the range hes shooting from, wow......Scrmrifle smokes people, dude your bad.

You said it out dpsed a laser at optimal range, again thats 80 meters and thats simply a lie, as for the range it matters little, I play all weapons and all suits, as for scrubby im not on here qqing asking for nerfs.

The Lr needs a range buff for every tier.

LR needs like 25 extra optimal range and no instant falloff. We might get it in a few months because it has half of "Assault Rifle" in the name.

I think you're seeing more weapon diversity because people are bored and don't want to do the same thing all the time, even if they realize they would do better with the AR.

i've noticed this too. a guy ripped me apart with a CreoDron Breach AR earlier today. then i was protostomped 6 matches in a row by duvolle ARs.

off topic, but i faced someone who saw i had nova knives, then ran up to try to melee me, multiple times. i just dodged him waiting for him to pull out his AR, but no, he kept trying to melee me. needless to say, i killed him, but i mean come on. he literally GAVE me that kill. then again he was in a frontline suit, so he was probably a noob XD.

*waiting for all the AR "leet" players to come in and defend it with talks about "skill"*

I hear with the Breach AR you'll have to melee them for the shots to connect.

I got killed by a small rail one time. True story.

You talking about DIVERSITY, when CCP is killing the weapon that was supposed to be the most DIVERSE ?


The irony is KILLING me.....

40m is short range?

I think the gallanteans are screwing over the shotgun users who do about 2 damage at 20m

You said it out dpsed a laser at optimal range, again thats 80 meters and thats simply a lie, as for the range it matters little, I play all weapons and all suits, as for scrubby im not on here qqing asking for nerfs.

Compared to the 400+ meters modern day assault rifles are effective at 40 meters is spitting distance

Yeah but they also kill in 1 well placed shot, and shotguns can kill well past 50m.

Your missing the point the AR which is plasma tech is optimal upto 40m, this is the range for most engagements, they have overpowered it now, I could accept it, but now we are getting the rifle re work and they haven't changed it. Its ridiculous 40m in this game is a long way, especially whennthe distance between null cannons is on average less than 300m!

Then the shotgun which uses the same technology, has ridiculous recoil, only holds half a dozen shots and has an effective range lesx than the ar optimal!

Thats just plain wrong. Not to mention that MD is only ranged to 40m, the plasma cannon is useless. Your left with 3 choices, snipe, use the other 3 rifles outside the complex picking of reinforcemens, or use the GAR (God's Assault Rifle) inside, because no other weapon really cuts it any more!
