I'm a big fan of burst rifles as, in general, they're more accurate than automatic weapons. Most have a scope of some sort and are more effective at longer ranges.
I'm hoping that the combat rifle is awesome like this, but I'm slightly confused looking at the stats for the burst AR in the game right now.
Why does the adv version only do 32 damage per shot when the regular AR does 36? Shouldn't it be the other way around, where each bullet of the burst rifle means more? Sure, the RoF is slightly higher (about 80 more rpm), but in reality the regular AR can fire off all 60 rounds in much less time than the burst.
I don't know how many games you have played, but every other burst rifle I've used does a TON of damage per hit, with the downside of smaller clips, more reloading, having to stay at longer ranges, and a poor hipfire.
What gives? Why is the normal AR more accurate and more deadly than the burst at range? Can someone explain to me how this is supposed to be proper balancing?

If I'm doing the math correctly the assault combat rifle will be doing 440 but the regular, burst version will be doing 672. The 1.7 weapon stats post doesn't mention damage updates for the existing weapons. I wonder if they've been tweaked at all. The Gallente Burst AR should be doing more damage.
That combat rifle looks like it's going to be a beast if it can get inside the optimal of the Scrambler.
446 dps...if there wasn't a delay between each burst. The delay seems about as long as the burst itself, so it only does half the damage that the AR does.
Can't wait for the combat rifle.

Not sure,but didn't they reduce the rounds by two shot on the AR? I know for a fact that the Burst Pistol was a tree-shot,and and now it's only two.Doesn't seem like much of a difference,but if you played with it before,you really can tell how gimmped it is now. Ummmm, what? The burst pistol is still a three burst. The burst ar used to be a 7 burst, now its a 3
Used to be 5, not 7 lol.
5 round burst was weird to some people so they changed it, which makes me realize that the reason the burst feels so weird now is not because of the scope or whatever, but because I was so used to being able to punch 5 rounds into someone skull instead of 3.
