Your entire post is terrible.

1. Heavies should always beat AR users in a 1v1 fight, as long as they aren't extremely stupid. The weakness with heavies is that they don't have equipment and can't be where they're needed as quickly as other suits. Yes, they shouldn't attack a squad in win, but an AR user beating a heavy 1v1 is a joke.
2. Exactly: ARs should be a generalist weapon. However, unlike what you think, they shouldn't be perfect at everything. If you think you can get through armor faster than a MD, you're joking.
3. How exactly was this ruined? The only difference now is the sniper has a chance to kill you if you run out in the open in front of them while shooting like an idiot.
4. MDs needed a bigger clip- but perhaps only a 1 round increase. If you would use more than ARs (and by the sound of it, you used them because they were OP at the time) you would know this.

Learn to play- as I learned how to effectively use non-OP weapons last build.

The loss of a proper sight has completely altered gameplay with an assault rifle. I love how the noobs call things balanced, because the AR's no longer have a proper sight. I guarantee if CCP was to give AR's the camera back noobs would start bitching about the AR again.

"optional scopes" and "weapon customization" don't work for games that already have so many variables that alter weapon performance. CCP should keep things simple and offer the camera sights we already have along with ironsights.

This game already offers enough customization we don't need more. Rather than adding customization CCP should focus on increasing the player count.

When recoil gets added to assault rifles n00bs wont stand a chance and we will dominate like never before.

STFU ARs feel like **** right now and were over nerfed, don't deny it.

26 kills in skirmish wow you're good. if I don't drop 40-50 kills in skirmish i'm playing badly. I'd probably wreck you on COD.

If find it ironic, that is the topic doesn't deal with your precious tank or vehicles, your are 100% against against anything for altering and listening to feedback; yet when your specialization is brought up, you hardheartedly agree with it no matter how bad of an imbalance it is.

Part of being a beta test is giving UNBIASED feedback, which you seem incapable of doing. Its a lets make vehicles stronger and not nerf them to you; or lets make anything that doesnt deal with my vehicles less effective.

This topic isn't simply about the AR anymore; but contains several "problems" that has spawned since Chromo went live.

1). Loss of AR scope: you even said it don't make you better, so there is no harm in having it back. The main reason many want it back is so you can see who you are aiming at, at a distance; as well as knowing if someone is in your effective range (as ever other gun in the game has this feature easily noticeable ingame but the AR now). You (dark cloud), even said this isn't game breaking, thusly shouldn't have needed to be removed as it doesn't alter how the weapon handles, it just allows it to be used as it should, at MEDIUM range with effectiveness.

2). Damage centralization: by making basic/militia weapons have more damage and reducing damage of adv/proto; it brings things closer together, which is a BAD thing. Now that the exile is about on part w/ the duvolle, there isn't a reason to skill into AR's to use the duvolle, or if already have, to even run in for cost reasons. This doing also for the pistol, smgs, etc. Why run a proto smg, when w/ weaponry lv5, the toxin does the same amount of damage? Do you think putting 610k SP for an extra 2 points is really worthwhile? The damage centralization, has reduced the need for better gear, making SP all but useless into guns, unless you want the passive bonuses they 'give".

This also brings to light the still bad spawning in ambush; as it allows spawns to determine fights more then before. IF you're running proto gear, and get spawned infront of a guy in basic w/ an exile; b/c of damage centralization he has a MUCH better chance of killing you, and you are less likely to be able to turn on him and counter w/ a gun that is better (and should be for SP required to get it). This takes away from player ability, and allows randomness to have more of an affect on gameplay scenarios.

3). Map reduction. With some maps being reduced in size, it causes centralized fighting, mostly CQB situations. This has turned the game into longer duration CoD battles of hipfire. The need for accuracy of ADS has been drastically reducled; leading the way to more MD usage. Ideally smg's should excel here but dont, b/t of lack of damage across the board (could be helped by flipping OP/Prof skilling)

All in all, this isn't a full "complaint" on AR's, but a more broad topic, that by changing one or two features; affects the entire gameplay spectrum

You're a parameter player. You hide on the outskirts of the map with a laser. Set up a corpbattle I was in the pen during the tournament and never got the pleasure of collecting the sweet tears of SI.

im sorry but i dont click on links of people i turn on.
