Chinduko KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 102	Posted - 2013.05.24 21:57:00 - [5] - Quote I'd take a TAC over a sniper rifle for it's long and short range capability and any AR over a shotgun anytime in CQC. Sniper rifles only work for long ranges, shotguns take more skill to use as CQC weapon. ARs are much easier to handle with no recoil, have excellent range still, pinpoint accuracy, and excellent hip fire. It's the hands down choice of weapon to use for anyone from the highly skilled to the novice players.

I suppose if you know someone who can pull the trigger 13 times in a second the answer would be yes. Course he'd be blowing holes in the ceiling, but it would indeed be firing faster.

Still that doesn't change the fact, that the Assault Rifle have none of that things. Lots of recoil, rubbish range, is only accurate when aiming trough the sight, and TERRIBLE hip fire.

Like the Scrambler rifle and Laser rifle. The only other two guns that are suppose to serve the same all purpose niche, are completely out gunned. All the other specialized weapons have a hard time competing because the AR is very effective. The only AR that needs a nerf is the TAR (don't nerf it worse than it was in Chromosome, still keep it above that) Personally I feel that all the other weapons that are UP should be buffed.

Asmodeus Reinhart lufafas marines 6	Posted - 2013.05.24 23:52:00 - [26] - Quote Panther Alpha wrote: No recoil ? Excellent Range ? Pinpoint accuracy ? and Excellent hip fire ? ......CCP... can i have the AR that this guys are talking about ? because the one i using, have none of that things The militia AR is none of those things. I spent my newbie points on light weapons and the assault rifle tiers and created a single fit with the GEK38 as - something to 'try'. I like to run and gun, and theoretically the assault rifle is a balance between range, speed and power in most games. Moving just out of those basic load out items will IMO change your mind about a few of those things. If you already have then I don't know if I fully agree with you. Just the step up to the GEK-38 created an instant probably +20% chance of winning a gun fight compared to the militia AR. But if you are an opportunistic (jerk face, rat fatherless, son of a mean person) that sweeps in behind busy opponents fighting what they 'think' is a 180* battle. Oh lordy. I can drill guys in the head before they can even turn around. Rarely have to even track them as they realize they are getting hit and try to left stick out of the incoming fire. Just drops them cold. F2F gun fights it isn't drastic as most of those are panicky. But it gives an edge over the militia AR IMO. And that isn't a leet AR. I'd imagine the top shelf stuff gets a bit more nasty.
Obodiah Garro Tech Guard General Tso's Alliance 11	Posted - 2013.05.24 23:56:00 - [27] - Quote After hearing everybody cry a river ive went and tried the TAC for myself, and well yea its a great weapon if your good with it lol. If you glass cannon yourself you can put out pretty mean dmg but you need to have the skills (read real skill) to be able to hit moving targets with the damn sights. For the hardcore player it can definitely be a mean tool of choice, but for me I waste more shots than actually getting on target. Id say don't punish people who put in the effort to use the weapon well, stop crying and master your own damn gun.

Konohamaru Sarutobi Ahrendee Mercenaries 233	Posted - 2013.05.25 00:21:00 - [35] - Quote Oh my Jesus guys! Think with your head, not with your feet. The shotgun is very good at close distance but it's not good at large distance. The sniper rifle is very good at large distance but it's not good at close distance, the forge gun is very good as an AV weapon, but is harder to use it as an anti infantry weapon. The assault rifle is not that good like the shotgun at close distance, but it's not that bad at large distance like the shotgun. The assault rifle is not that good at large distance like the sniper rifle, but it's not that bad at large distance like the sniper rifle. The assault rifle is not good as an AV weapon like the forge gun, but it's not that bad as an anti infantry weapon like the forge gun. The assault rifle is NORMAL. So, what's the problem? The problem is that if you suck with a shotgun at close distance, a normal AR player will kill you. The problem is that if you suck with a sniper rifle at large distance, a normal AR player will get closer and kill you. Welcome to New Eden. Adapt or Die. If it is yellow, don't drink it

It's the jack of all trades weapon. Welcome to real life. Is it probable that a game emulating combat would somewhat follow reality? We're playing a video game, what matters is if the gameplay is FUN. Why bother with supplying us with all of these different weapons if only fools and casuals will ever bother using them? The great things about video games is that they can suspend reality for the sake of excitement, diversity, enjoyment, etc. This game has a lot of cool weapons with fun to use mechanics, but the DPS of the assault rifle mixed with it's very large efficiency range makes all of those cool weapons with fun mechanics obsolete. When the simplest and easiest gun in the game is also, by far, the most powerful and most versatile, the gameplay suffers. Generally with FPS, the easier a gun is to use, the lower it's DPS. This way, using weapons with more complicated aiming mechanics, or with tougher to manage drawbacks are offset by their higher damage. In this game, it's exactly the opposite, the easier the gun is to use, the more damage it does. It doesn't make any sense from a gameplay perspective.

I then either get shot dead while reloading the gun or get run over by an enemy LAV.

Oh, and people keep constantly saying that TAR's have no recoil, so it must be true.

Sometimes they do I wont lie about that, hell if my clone was capable of climbing fences I might have made it so its kind of a shame.

Well if we go by your premise, then the HMG would shred any infantry target caught in it's 1 to 1.2 km kill zone with a max 1m dispersion at max range. The sniper rifles would OHK all infantry and have an effective range of around 7.5km, and the forge would max out at over 15km. ARs would range between 500 to 700 meters. That's just a small sampling. The scary part would be the damage and range on all large turrets. There's got to be balance, but ranges shouldn't be be equivalent to airsoft and the HMG should be better than a high speed spitball projector. BTW... I'm a dedicated FG wielder so calling me a HMG wh*re is pointless. LOL

Jenova's Witness Red and Silver Hand Amarr Empire 24	Posted - 2013.05.25 09:40:00 - [53] - Quote The problem with the AR is that it's being used as a placeholder for all the other racial variants of the assault rifle. The TAR is essentially a Caldari rifle tech demo, while the other variants have too much range to be classified as a high DPS, mid/short range Gallente plasma rifle. The SR is way off from a lore standpoint because EM pules should have a superior range compared to plasma, which isn't the case. The entire AR class has the range and incidental damage of a Minmatar weapon without the penalty to shields but bonus to armor and the TAR adds to this problem because it makes the AR too versatile for its own good while giving it the strengths of all the racial weapons, yet none of the weaknesses. Read Templar One by Tony Gonzales and look at how much of the lore and applied science actually translates to Dust 514. You'd be surprised how almost none of it makes any sense due to the lack of other weapons to balance out the assault rifle class of weapon with each racial variant having its own strengths and weaknesses. This is also translates to issues with the HMG because there aren't any other anti-infantry heavy weapon variants to round out how a heavy weapon should be balanced and leaves its DPS being scaled with the light weapon class, which is counter productive.

I'm tired now... i'm off to bed... Learn the rest from a book,,, or use google.[/quote] your taking a small statement and jumping to way too big of conclusions from it, there are more guns than just the shotgun and sniper rifle, but no one would know because the AR out preforms all of them, im talking about the SR and the LR, the shotgun and sniper rifle arent that out preformed by an assault rifle because there are situations where they work beter, but those situations arent very common, im not asking for a beter shotgun at range and a close range sniper, nobody wants that nor ever said they did, that would be pointless. but right now the advantage to using an assaultrifle overall almost always beats the little situational advantage you get from a shotgun, if there was a side arm with actual range then i would probably feel more comfortable with a shotgun

Cat Merc BetaMax. CRONOS. 1117	Posted - 2013.05.28 17:01:00 - [59] - Quote People here are talking like the TAR encompasses the entire AR range of weapons. Well, it does not, and the only weapon that needs a nerf is the TAR. When someone says "this weapon is better in its niche" then someone says "you should try the TAR". And although he is correct, that doesn't mean the rest of the AR's are broken. The burst assault rifle is bad, that means every AR needs a buff right? ^What you people sound to me, only in the opposite way. The only acceptable nerf for the AR would be the clip size. I don't think it needs 60 bullets in a clip. On the average assault, hitting every bullet will give you a kill in 11-12 bullets. Giving some room for error, that's around 20-30 bullets for person depending on how wasteful you are. That means the AR is very very very forgiving for missing. And that's assuming no damage mods or skills, and using the standard AR. I would drop it to 48, but its not necessary and the weapon is balanced without it.

Then you ll try to argue only noobs stay still but again my comment is on lack of recoil not my accuracy. If you want recoil try Battlfield or heck even call of duty has more on their ARs. People will use what's easiest and the AR in this game is jack of all trade and master of nearly all, excluding shotguns and snipers which are extremely specific niche weapons.

Hahahaha mini guns can shoot at over 4000 rds a minute with slugs that can pierce tanks following real life mini guns would wreck everything at all ranges except for sniper ranges. Even smaller variants shoot rounds much bigger than standard AR 5.56 rds. Plus in real life I don't see giant infantry carrying mini guns into battle, this is not real life or even acting like real life. It's a sci Fi FPS where guns should be balanced.
