Yep, the TAR is definitely shaping up to be the M16 of DUST. I predict the TAR being the "overused" weapon of choice at least for the foreseeable future unless CCP takes a look at it. Yes, people may use other weapons to "spice things up" but I truly see the TAR being the main and fallback weapon of the majority of players.
EDIT: The TAR also has no real downsides that I can think of....
1) Long range - Check 2) High Damage - Check 3) Easy to use (no real learning curve) - Check 4) Effectivce at both armor and shields - Check 5) Does it overheat - Nope 6) Damage feedback - Nope
If it goes on with no tweaks the TAR may even gain the rank of "Tryhard Weapon" but only time will tell.
P.S. I'm referring to the BF3 M16A3 (if you've played BF3 you should know EXACTLY what I mean) |

M16 being the BF3 one?
Because every month there was a new OP weapon, and they destroyed pretty much every weapon and vehicle through "balancing".
Except the DLC ones. |

Thanks for sharing your unique viewpoint, OP.
Speaking of Try Hards, are you too good to post in one of the 5 billion QQ threads already here? |

An M-16 has a point blank range of 550 meters and can consistently hit an area target (human body) at 800 meters.
A TAR also has mussel rise while an M-16 is specifically designed to have almost none.
A TAR is no M-16 |

I think he was referring to the fact that almost everyone uses the TAR in this game, like everyone uses the M16 in BF3. |

No it's not. It doesn't jam every 15 minutes.

Obviously your weapon maintenance was poor. I never had a problem with my 16A2 or M4 when I was in. Then again I serviced my weapon several times daily if possible.

I know I wouldn't shoot it like a lunatic if I knew for each successive shot under .25 seconds would add a 10% chance of jamming. In the case of jamming you'd have to reload the entire clip. This also helps to lock the TAR into its squad marksmen role instead of being abused in cq |
