Hell, I find this intriguing just from the standpoint of seeing the effects. You should keep in mind, however, that the ARs in this game are far more restrictive than in some others. Hell, there's one for each role, and they don't even have select-fire options.

I don't seek the ARs removal, I seek balance with all the other tools of the trade. As you stated, people gravitate toward the AR. If you had continued to read, you would have noticed that I stated that removing the AR would force people out of their comfort zone to make them choose the specialized weapons and get a feel for them. Also, because a dropship can do anything, which it can't by the way, doesn't mean you take something else and say it's fine because it isn't as bad. In fact, if people ditched the AR for a build they would come across the weapons which kill dropships, which is the point of this thread. Because the majority uses ARs, we can't test what a balanced team of specialists can do. We only test what ARs can do versus the special weapons.

You may have remembered me saying this, maybe not, but thank you for being the one to prove 'Now that everyone who wouldn't read the whole OP thinks it's a rage thread and already commented, let's move on.' wasn't wasted typing.

Furthermore, does anyone else find the fact that he whines about 'godmode' dropships, but hates the idea that people will be forced into roles that can fight dropships? It is immensely entertaining.
