The combat rifle is fine. I still use rail rifles on open maps and destroy entire squads cause i outrange them easy. In my opinion the assault rifle needs a rate of fire buff to justify the higher fitting costs over the combat rifle.

Only reason I don't get pissed from dying by a CR is because I don't die from them from 100+ meters away.

The ACR is like a longer range HMG.
Get too close to either weapon and you're swiss cheese. That's called balance.

And have you ever tried to use the CR with even a little bit of lag? Yeah, funny how it makes the weapon COMPLETELY UNUSABLE because automatic weapons don't have to rely on the game registering constant trigger presses.

That's what happens when you make a high dps weapon with 95% shield and 115% armor damage profile. Ccp balances all their guns against the opposing race and any gun fit to kill amarr suits is good enough to kill any suit especially if it has some of the highest dps for whatever reason.

Change the profile damage to 95/105 and it would still be a potent weapon.

I dont want it to be useless just a change in profile would still make it a good weapon.

We finally have a great mix of weapons back on the battlefield (don't know what games you guys are playing but honestly I haven't seen this much diversity since chrome - AR514, RR514, TANK514) and everyone is still bitching about one weapon. Each weapon is great at what it does in the right environment. Having multiple skilled weapons is what let's you succeed so let's stop doing this dumb ******* nerf/buff bullshit and just ******* adapt already.

Well yes, the AR is a bit UP, but it's closed the gap on CR and RR. And besides, you can't expect every single weapon to be competitive. No FPS with this range of weaponry has ever managed that. And it's still approximately 1000 times better than the lolPC.
