I must agree with you, and bow out at your acceptance.

Do you guys own any PC districts

or are you that kind of corp?

Before I say anything else I have a question
What skill does the AR take that no other weapon has?

I remember you, I made a thread a while back titled 'Regnum Dei's rocket boots'. I was so upset that you ran from me every single time we met on the battlefield. I managed to pick off the rest of your people in 1v1s, and was quite proud of it.

Sharp shooter?

Come now ladies theres no need to debate this topic. The AR is a weapon only a select few can use. You need certain qualifications. To name one you need a strong trigger finger, I'm sure the tactic of pray n sprays really hard on the pointer finger, poor guys.

LOL, not what I meant. Player's skill?

I don't remember you... what a surprise.

Anyways just another MD user justifying why their noob tube takes skill thread

Ar isn't op but isn't the scr supposed to outrange it?

Hmm, what player skill doesn't the scrambler rifle or pistol or hmg, or smg, or assault scrambler rifle, or forge gun have.

I'm not sure, please enlighten me.

Well at least AR's not OP as stated by op. So does that mean it's not getting nerfed?

Ha. Complaining about the core mechanic of a first person shooter as "you don't need skill to use it."

Classic scrub ****. You'd probably complain about Guile throwing too many Sonic Booms in Street Fighter too. Holy ****.

I still don't get the complaint. Back in the beta (edit: back when I had easy access to the following), lasers had their purpose (usually anus peak). Great at mid-midlong range, not so good anywhere else. SMGs and shot guns are good at open close range. Mass Drivers and Flaylocks are great in tight close range, snipers are great at long rangers etc., etc.

ARs aren't easy mode. They are the median weapon, and the most comfortable weapon for most FPS players.

Get over it.

Oh this the guy who runs 6 man squads and gets raped by just me and aldin LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

i wouldnt even need to read this to tell you.to be honest man the assault rifle just isnt the problem when you think a weapon is o.p....you need to think about damage mods and weapon pro. lvls..which means mega extra damage %..

Ooh lets not talk about damage mods the penalties make them up.

its what you have as far as skills and modules dude...the rest is player skill those facts will remain regardless if damage mods are the factor or not.

I'm not at all arguing that this game is perfectly balanced, but the issue is that other weapons probably need some kind of buffs, but more importantly need to be spec'd into by a larger crowd first, which is going to take some time, before anybody can really complain that 'everyone is using the most comfortable weapon they can unlock in an fps that takes weeks before wanting to swap over to try a specialized one "

AR's are OP because DUST has always been filled with bad players.

Except they are easy mode in dust.

Game skill required to be effective in dust (high kdr with weapon) from lowest skill (entry level) to master level as of 1.3:

1. Easiest - Swarm Launcher
2. Easy Mode - Assault Rifle / Assault scrambler rifle / Sub Machine Gun / Scrambler rifle
3. Easy - Mass Driver / Flaylock
4. Just above Easy - Heavy machine gun
5. Moderate - Nova Knives
6. Moderate - Forge Gun
7. Challenging - Pistol
8. Imposssibruuu - Plasma Cannon

*sigh*

Assault rifles need bullet dispersion

Uhh, they do have it.
It just takes like 20 bullets before it's noticeable, but it's always there.
BTW 20 bullets is max skills, I didn't check with a new one.

I would rank plasma cannons at OVER 9000!!!

Half of the weapons in this game are hit scan.
Assault scrambler rifle is an AR with the name scrambler rifle.
NOBODY is complaining, and yet it's practically the same.
It's obvious bias, people hate what kills them most.

Do you guys own any PC districts

or are you that kind of corp?

The scrambler rifle is balanced with over heat, which not only shuts the weapon down for 10 seconds, but also prevents all other activities and deals damage to the user.

ARs just reload.

Another AR is OP thread. Notice how all the guys that whine it's OP never use it... What a surprise!

I'm confused here why is everyone saying that their weapon takes skill? I mean your playing a game why is everyone acting like its an Olympic sport or something?

The AR is a hit-scan weapon which fires 750 rounds per minute as long as you hold the trigger down. Fighting with it is as easy as pointing it in an enemy's direction and letting them walk in front of it, boom dead. If they get frisky, do lots of hopping, all you have to do is swipe your hit scan laser pointer (ahem, AR) over them a few times, and boom, dead.

It isn't OP, it is designed with easy button for those without skill to play the game. No bullet time, no need to lead the shots, large clip size, no overheat, long distance and high power. just swipe it over the enemy a few times, ???, profit.

It may not have any draw-backs, and have great fitting stats, but it isn't over powered at all. It is simply easy mode. You can use it in all situations, you can actually hit things above you with it, (unlike explosive weapons), you can fire the entire clip without over heating, (unlike laser weaponry and heavy machine guns), you can ads with it for very accurate long range shots, it's great in a squad( just have the whole squad swiping their hit-scan weapon over the enemy a few times, ???, profit).

As easy mode as it gets.

Well CCP can then make a weapon with wich you are not supposed to AIM at the ENEMY

OH WAIT

Before I say anything else I have a question
What skill does the AR take that no other weapon has?

shorter time to kill. But truth be told, I don't think anyone has said ARs are OP in any game...

Lmfao!

Quote of the day - "Just swipe it over the enemy a few times, ???, profit "

hah!

By god I wish my shotgun was as magic at swiping as the AR. I put a whole 8 shots into a heavies back last night in a laggy game (Yes lag was my end, changing ISP currently) but I didn't do a single point of damage to the heavy.

To use a shotgun in DUST right now is asking to go clinically insane.
They've sucked since the Beta. I think Shotguns should have no penalty for stacking damage mods.

If the AR is OP I'm screwed. My MD devastates them.

Don't worry, the AR isn't OP, it's just easy button for people without skill. Swipe the hit scan beam across an enemy a few times, ??? Profit! So easy even I could do it.

Such a crybaby, dude. God damn.
