no we need to nerf the AR now, and then when the new rifles come out if the AR is UP buff it.

Thats what CCP does to every other gun. the AR should be no exception. Period

TBH I'd love perusing the tears and QQ's of the AR users.

If any of you remembered what the forums looked like after the tacAR nerf, you know all hell would break loose.

Kind of like what's going on with the Mass Driver? We finally get the damn thing buffed back up from one of the craziest reasons to nerf something and people cry because they can't learn to run from an area denial weapon.

The sad part is that CCP shows a trend of listening to this and dumbing down their game instead of allowing tactics to flourish.

To most Dust players, thinking is OP, therefore we should have a game that doesn't require it. This will cause Dust to be just like, but crappier, than the other shooters on the market.

Dust, like Eve, should encourage players to think - not keep dumbing down the game for the typical AR run-n-gunner.

AR vs ScR is pretty well balanced right now, IMO. The basic SCR is perfect for winning the mid range game and spot removal I love popping a logi as they try to provide support for a squad, or taking out that uplink from range. If I'm forced into CQC I can just bring my aSCR and give any AR user a run for their money.

Nerfing the AR would make my weapon then seem overpowered. We need the other racial weapons and new heavy weapons before we nerf the crap out of the AR.

Your post is so bad in so many ways..

But aside of that Im not talkin reality, I was writtin game wise, gameplay wise, things you aint good at, but come on call me noob, haha that was nice but stupid, no way to fight back with arguments, or something like good examples?

I will throw a few at ya:

1.- 1 shot kills aint happening with snipers is game mechanic so a fit actually makes sense, like heavys take several shotgun blasts, etc
2.- You can try usin SMG's as primary but chances are youre gonna get killed easily, so its best used as a complement, same happens to Scrams Pistols and now at the Flaylock (maybe your iWin button?)
3.- Im ruining a game? haha tell that at the playrbase that aint using the FoTM
4.-No skill in use a SMG? haha, im not gonna reply to that
5.- Do you actually read my previous post?
6.- Fu** it, do you even consider or tought through what you have just posted?

I have nothin against you but come on grow up, dont go callin names or analizing my post, its my opinion so back the fu** up if the only argument you have is:

- blablabla my Flaylock aint primary anymore, I dont want you all nerfin my iWin buttons, please nomo

Come on!

People use the AR because it is familiar. Not OP. if it was op nobody would use the scrambler rifle.

lol let me show the power of my Proto SCR and ASCR

Of course the AR is popular. It's easy to use, reliable, and many players will choose to invest SP in it before considering a second weapon to skill into simply because of its simplicity and familiarity. You said it yourself, you're complaining about overuse and not imbalance. From my perspective, you're also wildly exaggerating.

Expecting every gun to be represented equally among the player base is pretty ridiculous. If I ran a poll of everyone's favorite ice cream, animal, cartoon show, book, superhero, whatever, not one of these would receive equal representation throughout. Why should random chance or even balanced weaponry somehow result in balanced diversity in weapon usage?

Less than half of my deaths have been the result of lone AR fire. Hell, if I'm going to escape from any fire fight, it will be vs an AR at mid range. I'm just as likely to be under fire from scrambler rifles and in my experience someone in my LOS is probably holding a mass driver or a flaylock. Snipers are abundant. Scouts usually have a shotgun, smg, and/or flaylock. Heavies are obviously likely to be carrying HMGs or forge guns. I don't see plasma cannons, maybe one a day and that guy's probably just trying it out. Don't see many lasers. I see them, but not many.

the poor english of your post stopped me from even reading it. please edit and repost in a language we all understand. me entiendes compadre?

and also, I run heavy suit. not flaylocks, AR noob. Check my threads I am a Heavy. so, before you assume and make an Ass of yourself, try taking your own advice and think...lolz o sea que piensas... lo traduje a espan~ol paraque tu entendieras, pero tu ni sabes como escribir en ella....lololz

So you speak spanish? good for you
Cool, say all of that to yourself Mister Mostacho, haaaaaaaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
So you use(d) other things aside from your iWin, maybe your other iWin?
I actually dont use ARs since 012 so.. suck it!

And.. you are the ass hahahahahah

Edit: you dirty grammar b*tch!

^^this guy is a joke. with no evidence, and a troll. you are also, a racist. i am not a gringo i am brasilian.

ME puede criticar cuanto que queires porque solo esta adicionando len~a al fuego puta. Tu ni hablas espan~ol correcto, ni ingles,, pues es triste de verdad. ademas, no has provedido ningun tipo de evidencia para promover su punto, ni demostraste evidencia contrario de lo que yo he puesto. Vos sos um troll. no voy a dignificar jamas sus respuestas desde este punto adelante, porque obviamente solo eres un troll, que ni puede escribir.

If your going to troll me at least write in a language thats understandable. your english is horrendous. and there is spell check here.... please rewrite in spanish. well, im not gonna respond anyway, but at least ill know what your saying.

No creo que debes usar otro lenguaje para insultar a alguien.

You'd do better with the AR.

Like I said, there are people that don't use the AR, but it's not because the AR isn't the best gun in the game.
