No. Making the maps bigger and nerfing AR ranges is actually a good thing.
Also, it hardly matters that a scout can run that distance in ten seconds when you can gun them down with an AR in 1.5 seconds. |

Previously, there was very little reason to consider any weapon other than the AR. This is because the AR was always an excellent weapon to use at all ranges except sniper over watch ranges. Tac AR notwithstanding, now there are good reasons for people to use other weapons because the AR now fits it's role, short to med range high dps, without overlapping into every conceivable role as the goto weapon for nearly everyone. |

Its pretty much the same its just now Light sidearms cant shoot as far. Heavies cant shoot as far on and on the nerf was same across the board thats why its lame. Snipers were always able to stay out of range.
I disagree. There is a huge gap from over watch sniper to everything else, but now, again TAR aside, you have tactical sniping, then laser, then scramblers I guess now, then MD maybe, then AR, then hmg, smg, shotty and pistols. It doesn't really matter what the order is, only that, aside from TAR, there isn't one weapon to rule them all now.
It used to be that you could get a standard AR out to Tac sniper range and be effective at every range down to zero. Now, they don't reach out that far, so it makes sense that if you want to fight at longer ranges, you bring something else. Diversity is good. This is why the range nerf is good for the game. |

Ive tried to get 20+ ppl from other games i played to get into this game. wasnt 1-2hrs they quit mainly b/c the beta players are all proto gear while they stuck in crap suites for 2 weeks which is now gonna be even longer with the slow SP gain.
These paintballish ranges on many of the guns isn't help matters. Might as well pop in Greg Hastings paintball.
The answer to this problem is the academy. Like everything in dust, it needs more fleshing out, but the answer is most definitely not buff the AR. |
