Here is why. It is the master of the game.

It kills at long range medium range and even close range. You can put it on any suit and destroy 90% of the player base.

If we ever get Scopes back there will be no reason to use any other weapon in the game.

I suggest increasing recoil so that aft about 5-10 shots it is not accurate anymore. I can take out a heavy with 900+ shield in one clip. If anyone doubts this get a gek with 2 damage mods. Lolol

Seriously all you qq AR guys need to get good and quit blaming other suits for your weak gun game! The duvolle will be the king of the battelfield.

And even the exile with damage mods is extremely OP. Especially since its free

Is everyone new to shooters or something??? ARs are always the most frequently used weapon

Note how he said while using two dmg modifiers well no ******* duh your doing more damage ofc your weapon is going to be OP dafaq lol.Maybe they should make it to where you can only use one dmg mod to keep the weapons at lease a bit more balanced

To really elaborate on the current points and to add another twist, the AR is really good in pub matches where you just run around randomly and try to take on all-comers. This is especially true with more experianced players stomping newberries.

In more co-ordinated battles such as corp fights or squad play, you often will see much more weapons diversity. An example is a 4 man team I run with frequently for pub matches is one with AR, HMG, MD, and Laser (or sometimes a sniper that provides anti-sniper/overwatch to our squad). The AR does well at mid range and provides good covering fire but it's the other 3 that are the real damage dealers at thier respective arts. The MD deals with entrenched enemies, the HMG for anyone who comes too close, and the Laser/Sniper for dealing with threats at range or snipers. If a squad with such weapon diversity went up against 4 AR, all the squad needs to do is just get one of those guns at thier optimal range and it can easily drop most of them.

So when talking about what weapon's OP, please look at the bigger picture.

Lets nurf everything and add this game to the cod series

If I was a shadowy conspirator, I would have minions create characters to support this thread and lead to a massive 30 page debate and like 100 likes to the OP. I would then have others create separate threads claiming that the AR is OP. All that so everyone can shutup about lasers, heavies, HMGs, mass drivers, and everything else being OP when those things actually aren't OP at all. I want to put the whiny AR users on the defensive so they won't have time to fight their nerf war on everything else.

here we go again.

they already nerfed it mate, they have nerfed EVERYTHING

nerfing doesnt work, balancing the game set up does. every weapon has it's niche, it counters something.

CCP should focus on better match making so the games arent scewed to one side. the AR does it's job, you're most likely just on the recieving end of a creodron

Here is why.

It kills at medium range, and even close range. You can put it on any suit and use it on 100% of the player base.

If we ever get Scopes back there will never be any reason to use them.

Two words GET GOOD. That is all....

I use an AR I am already good.

I find it hard to believe your good being in a starter corp. But then again im sure my def of "good" is different then yours.

Yes you are right because the are the easiest weapon to get kills with.

You have to actually aim with the AR to get kills. Give me one weapon that is harder.

HMG..spray and pray
Shotgun...OHK
Sniper...hiding off in the mountains
Mass Driver....only handheld that misses and you still get a kill

Should I continue??

Scrambler pistols, you have to aim with those too don't forget ( or atleast i do..).

If I was a shadowy conspirator, -- rest of jerk post snipped --

if anything militia and standard needs nerfed not proto or advanced

I only gave you a like cuz your my brother and have no likes.......

Must. Troll. MOAR!


And ya not enough difference in the tiers, to similar.

CCP dont listen to these noobs, AR is fine and no nerf is required.

It in fact is OP. To claim that its not means 2 things. You haven't used the other weapons to have a grounds for comparison. Your simply not very good, or lack experience to make it work for you.

Its been OP since the start, which is fine so long as weapons like the MD, LAR and HMG have the ability to gain the upper hand so long as environmental conditions are met.

someone appears to be butthurt from the battlefield my skills speak louder than my txt

DUST was labelled as 'the thinking man's FPS' in some magazine when it first went into closed beta.

Think before charging at a guy with a better weapon then yours.

Think before running out of cover when a sniper has you pointed.

Think before running up to a heavy to kiss him and then being rejected with a hail of rounds.

you dont know what ur talking about, AR HAVE ALREADY BEEN NERFED ONCE., and that is enough. I suggest u guys some other shooters such as BF or COD...

To all CoD and Battlefield veterans EVE is not a universe where you can pock up something up and insta-win you have to actually use your brain and figure out what does and what does not work, scary thought huh?
