The Assault rifles really need to be nerfed. They do damage quickly, and work at long range, when they should only work at medium to short range. More recoil needs to be added to them to discourage long range use of them, and the amount of damage they do needs to be decreased. The fact that the default gun is basically the most powerful gun in the game, decreases peoples want for trying out new weapons and going through the process of ranking up its stats to make it a good weapons choice, while the assault rifle come ready to kill a ton of people right out of the box. For example, I really really like the laser rifle. Is spent a week trying to upgrade it, trying to make it a longer range weapon, but people using assault rifles had a clear advantage over me as they could fire just as far, just as easily, with out having to invest any time with skill points. Once I realized this, I just went back to the assault rifle. I really want to use the other types of weapons, but honestly, why bother when assault rifles are already so good. The only other weapon worth using is the heavy chain gun. The shotgun is really good at close range, but I am finding that often times people using assault rifles can kill me just as easy up close as I can. I guess this is really a balancing issue, and assuallt rifles are honestly way better then they should be, for costing as little as they do. |

I realize assault rifles have been nerfed before, maybe its just that I am not very good with the other guns. My main issue may just be the fact that assault rifles are so cheap. Its hard to find a purpose to earn enough sp to gain the skills required to get higher powered versions of the other weapons, when in the long run, I would just as easily get kills with a milita assault rifle, or ever an upgraded assault rifle. The thing is, that I really want to use the other guns the game has to offer, because they are much more unique then the standard to all shooters assault riflle, but I can't see a good enough reason to. I want there to be a good reason to, but I don't see the purpose of wasting skill points on them, especially since skill point gain continues to be nerfed. |
