medomai grey WarRavens League of Infamy 552	Posted - 2014.04.09 01:35:00 - [1] - Quote Let's be honest. This game has a lot of machine guns: assault scrambler rifle, rail rifle, assault rail rifle, magsec SMG, plasma(assault) rifle, HMG, SMG, and assault combat rifle. But wait you say, many of the weapons I've mentioned are rifle. And to that I reply: mechanically, they are just machine guns with longer ranges. Much like machine guns, our assault rifles have one mode of fire, fully automatic. An assault rifle is a selective fire (selective between semi-automatic, fully automatic and/or burst fire) rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge and a detachable magazine. Surprisingly, no one has ever taken issue with this? Assault rifle variants should have alternative modes of fire besides fully automatic. They can implement this by allowing for hip fire to be fully automatic and ADS(aim down sights) to switch to an alternative mode of fire. For example: Assault Rifle Hip fire: fully automatic ADS: plasma grenades Rail Rifle & Assault Rail Rifle Hip fire: uncharged, low damage, shorter range, fast rate of fire, fully automatic ADS: Charged, higher damage, long range, low rate of fire, fully automatic Assault Scrambler Rifle Hip fire: fully automatic ADS: semi-automatic with charge shot capabilities Assault Combat Rifle Hip fire: fully automatic ADS: 3 shot burst fire If you are sick of the lack of variety of machine guns to choose from. If you support making assault rifles assault rifles. Sign/Bump this thread. I've been told that people prefer fake smiles over the honest expressions of their fellow men. : )

If CCP listens to this petition, they'll figure out how to do it themselves. It would be terribly lazy to just follow an example given to them to the letter.

Wouldn't that turn the Plasma Rifle into a Mass Driver with a Combat Rifle attached to it? That's where you're mistaken. It would be like a Plasma Rifle with a mini Plasma Cannon attached to it. Neither of which had a "x is OP thread" ever/in the last three months. Now, A combat Rifle with a Grenade launcher attached to it would be like a Mass Driver attached to a Combat Rifle. *1st Official Role Playing Gallente Asshole* -Title Awarded by True Adamance

1pawn dust Algintal Core Gallente Federation 124	Posted - 2014.04.09 03:29:00 - [15] - Quote nice idea about different firing modes but they should need to mess with the ADS Maybe map quick tap triangle to cycle firing modes or something

And as stated, mine was only an example of how they could make assault rifles assault rifles. Honestly, I like your idea more than my example.

Argent Mordred DUST University Ivy League 56	Posted - 2014.04.09 03:44:00 - [17] - Quote The issue I see is that implementing a fire selector doesn't seem that useful. I like having the ability to change to semi in shooters, for example Crysis, Bf3, or America's Army 3/ AA: PG. But with the amount of health players have in most modern shooters, using semi-auto doesn't make sense, especially when the assault rifles are quite controllable on full auto at most ranges in game, unlike in reality. If such a feature did get implemented it would need it's own key, not a kludgy ADS to switch fire modes mechanic, maybe left dpad?

Yes, assigning an actual button for switching modes of fire is a better idea. I've been told that people prefer fake smiles over the honest expressions of their fellow men. : )
medomai grey WarRavens League of Infamy 556	Posted - 2014.04.09 06:27:00 - [20] - Quote Bump. Because the player base really needs to realize that taking a machine gun and labeling it assault rifle isn't right.

Django Quik Dust2Dust. 2802	Posted - 2014.04.09 07:26:00 - [21] - Quote I kinda like the idea but honestly I'd rather they put back the old damage numbers for all rifles and reduce the ROF to bring the DPS to what it is now (and a bit more for the combat rifle, maybe rail rifle too). The ridiculous ROF on the rifles is what makes them LMGs rather than rifles. Dedicated sidearm scout - Watch out for that headshot Scout community is the nuts
Cinnamon267 131	Posted - 2014.04.09 09:29:00 - [22] - Quote They aren't supposed to be AR's, though, I though. Aren't they blaster rifles designed for close to medium range? Petition for a name change, instead.

A machinegun with more range is still a machine gun. I've been told that people prefer fake smiles over the honest expressions of their fellow men. : )
The Terminator T-1000 Skynet Incorporated 358	Posted - 2014.04.09 11:20:00 - [24] - Quote I spent 3 million SP on the AR and I want it to remain a fully automatic weapon. If you want a semi auto weapon, it has variations like the burst or tactical assaut rifles. Otherwise I do not understand your post.
