I understand the AR nerf in this build (It's been a long time coming) but it seems that specifically Burst ARs (And probably Tactical ARs - which already had too much recoil to be useful in the first place) have been gimped to hell as a byproduct of this whole fiasco...
I have tried using the Burst AR I cannot even hit a target who's body mass nearly fills up a zoomed scope at a close-medium range!
I could *BARELY* reach a target in the Bravo crows nest from railing/stairs area at the Charlie - sorry I forget which map this is...
I had to stand at the unprotected area at the furthest edge of the stairs just to hit someone who is at the closest edge of the crows nest above Bravo.
Even with rounds connecting, the new THREE ROUND burst mode does not seem to depart enough damage before your target flees/moves to cover. The weapon should fire at least FIVE ROUND bursts, in my personal opinion, as opposed to the 7-8 round burst it did before.
Tactical and Burst AR's should (in actual firearm ballistic theory, wink-wink) hold more accuracy and reach than say a full-auto rifle...
*** ATTENTION ***
This concludes the important part of this post. Everything after this point is rant/constructive criticism/bitching because I'm outta coffee and cigarettes***
I know CCP hears enough of this on the forums and I'm sorry to gripe, but it seems a bit silly that you didn't consider the effect that this AR balancing would do to the DIFFERENT TYPES of AR's - respectively the Full-Auto, Burst, and Tactical.
(lol, you guys should have had plenty of time and feedback from the community between this and the last build, no?)
It was a simple balancing issue, to begin with -_-
ARs did not need a range nerf to begin with... Rather, they needed an ACCURACY nerf... and it was just the full-auto ARs (Since that was clearly the one being used the most - ppl tend to use the most exploitable, easy-to-use weapon, as most betas has shown us... no offense, assault classes).
Regardless, Burst (and Tac) ARs are now useless while full-auto AR's have been balanced. There is no Yin to the Yang, as far as ARs are concerned... |
