Lately I have been playing with a weapon I have ignored for years.....the AR. I am getting to the point where I now have changed my mind about the quality of the weapon. If you think while you are using it, instead of going bullet hose, it has some mighty fine attributes. It does go through the ammo, as the stopping power of the rounds is weak, taking 3-5 for even grunts (although I do get the feeling that 2 perfect shots to a jackals "pouch" takes him down pronto) so it is a good thing there is a lot of it laying around! I played levels 1-4 with only grenades and the AR, no other weapon fired and it was easy for the first two, but once you get into T&R and SC those levels have so many more enemies that the AR ammo has to be used very wisely during some parts. It is alot of fun to take down grunts with a 2-3 round burst and finish them off with a AR stock to the grunty forehead! Save ammo, Melee a GRUNT!.......and a jackal, and an elite for that matter! The best way to save the ammo is to taunt the hunters over a cliff to their deaths, or melee them rather than hose them down with precious AR rounds.
