This is my opinion, hate all you want on it.
AR's are too effective. At this moment in time they are the only viable way to get kills. I'm seeing people go 30/4 with a GEK slaughtering anyone who doesn't use an AR.
AR's pretty much take up the role of Shotgun, Sniper rifle, Laser Rifle, and SMG's. If you have an AR you are instantly jesus.
They have absurd damage, absurd mag sizes, and absurd accuracy, absurd ROF, with no recoil whatsoever. It's like playing the game on auto-pilot. What's the point of having squads if you can just use an AR? Oh I know! To have 3 other people that have AR's so you can completely dominate every aspect of the game.
You need a heavy to take out a vehicle? Nope. Just get X amount of WP in 10 seconds, and call down an orbital to kill that pesky tank.
Use the GEK to kill 3 enemies, get an orbital, and kill enough people with the orbital to get another orbital, repeat.
Sniper on a hill? No problem, shoot 10 bullets from your GEK with it's insane ROF/Dmg. and he's dead.
Logistics with a mass driver? shoot 15 bullets from your GEK with it's insane ROF. and he's dead.
Tank? No problem, use one AV grenade he's dead.
LAV? No problem, us an AV grenade or shoot one full mag from your GEK and he's dead.
The fact is that you don't need any other class except assault in this game. And you get very harshly punished if you dare try to use any weapon except the AR.
CCP, stop making AR's into the MP40 of World at war.
I would be fine with Assault Rifles if they had one effective range instead of being 100% dominate at all ranges.
But it won't happen because of the mass influx of people who are about to bash on me.
Sorry, it doesn't take "skill" to hold R1. |

Nobody is ever happy about anything on these forums.
Edit: and stoop to your level using an OP weapon to gank the enemy? The fact is I already am better. Because I don't rely on cheap weapons to win. |

what exactly "takes skill" out of anything when playing video games? a guy pushes a button and jiggles a little stick anyway ulook at it, it's not that impressive.. skill is stuff like playing pool, tig welding, or flying a real space ship not internet ones.
Well... Shooting a rifle that takes more precise aiming than a fully automatic death machine I'd say takes more skill. |

Did I hear an annoying buzzing sound? Sounds like REGNUM failing to provoke any emotional response.
EDIT: I don't know what a ppl is, sorry. |

So you all think they should be god guns with no recoil, max damage, max range, max mag size?
Good luck with that. |

Guns in real life also have recoil. And bullet drop. |

Look, balance > realism. I understand that they are high tech weapons. But it's a game. they have to have limits or they will be abused. Damn. |

Wow. This thread got a lot of attention.
Yeah I have since specced into AR's and in my first game I went 26/4 whereas with the sniper rifle i was going 14/0 or so.
I suppose that's just a fluke and in no way was the switch of weapon type?
Breach AR's need no recoil, tight hipfire, large damage per bullet, and slow ROF.
Normal AR's need high ROF, medium hipfire, and high recoil with moderate damage per bullet. |
