Wouldn't the metrics indicate that the VAST majority of people are using the AR? While I totally understand that this is the vanilla/standard weapon, what I don't enjoy seeing is nothing but assault rifles peppered with some heavies and snipers in match after match. I don't want to see the AR get pounded by the CCP Nerf Hammer (as this is what usually happens) but I would like to see some balance made to it where other weapons are desired as well. When you start to see scouts running ARs you really have to wonder.
All in all, what I truly curious about is this: What are the metrics and percentages behind how many use the AR? Is the amount of people using the AR CCP's intent?
I really do enjoy the concept behind the game, but being a scout class character I am not presently finding much enjoyment in this.
QFT. Currently we're playing AR 514. The AR is way overused, and it's well past time that CCP do something about it.
It seems though that the current philosophy from CCP regarding Dust is go AR or go home.
Hail AR 514, hail king AR. |

For once I agree with the AR toting masses. Like the OP hinted at. The problem isn't that the AR is OP. It's that they nerf the crap our of anything that isn't a standard AR. If I could force CCP to do things my way for awhile I would have them put the nerf bat on the shelf and start buffing things that need it starting with small turrets for vehicles, then the plasma cannon, then the laser rifle, then armor tanking for dropsuits, then the shotgun... They can let the dust settle on the nerf bat after one last swing. Like I just posted, it the ARs range, and then buff the other weapons back into decency.
This would be nice, if only CCP could see past the noise from the AR nerf brigade. They've been listening to the majority for too long, and here we are, in AR 514 because of it.

And that the desires of the majority of the people are often for injustice and inhumanity against the minority, is demonstrated by every page of history... ----John Adams |
