Again, sniper rifle isn't meant for mid range combat. One of the big advantages of a sniper rifle is its single-shot power and long distance accuracy. That's what assault weapons are for.

Granted, they could put a way for the mid-long distance rifles to be much more accurate only when crouching, making them less accurate if moving around or strafing. Still, trying to compare a prototype assault weapon to a basic sniper rifle is really not advisable. It's like comparing horsemen to pikemen - one is meant to defeat the other.

I luvs me Creodron Breach AR. The stupid proto-armor guys who rush me in the open while I am firing at them from a distance while behind cover just deserve to die, period. Maybe they should invest in the Creodron instead of overly expensive armor and learn how to take cover as well. Because my crap tier I armor dies real fast even from militia SMGs if I get caught in the open.

I also put most of my points into the AR and marksman skills and use a damage mod so I can even drop heavies who are in the open very easily with just the tier II AR breach if I wanted.

But as much as I love the Creodron, I have two problems with it. First, it should require at least some tier II skill training to use. And, second, the auto-aim has got to go - for ALL assault rifles. Auto-aim is what makes this game easy mode. I tested it extensively over the weekend and this is how I get it to work: pick a target, zoom in to your target and aim near where you want to hit them (usually center mass or head), begin firing, release the aim while still firing so you are now shooting from the hip, and BINGO, I am getting miracle kills at long range while running and gunning. Pretty lame. It would make more sense to have to stop and aim to get those hits.

It's the auto-aim which is 'broken', not the gun. Because the dudes with the shield buffed scout suits are ALWAYS a pain in the ass to kill even with the Creodron. At close range they usually drop my crap armor pretty quickly no matter how many rounds I fire off.
