TEH FLUD SUXORS DEY ARNT IN TEH GAEM

Is it just me, or is a single SMG better than an AR at short-medium range?

I wouldn't trade it for the AR tho b/c in most cases the AR rush will be in pretty handy since it has more range

"2010 is the monument of all my sins, Where they were omnipresent, and where I left my old life"

Just take a look at my activity in the said year...

The Only important thing is that "The time Has Come, and the Self Trascendence is at Will".

The only problem with the BR (7urrón) is overuse.

Everyone uses it, and it appears in almost all playlists, yes, it is cool, but everything in excess is bad.

The AR is better at Medium short, range.

The SMG is better at Short Range.

Yeah, but on Epitaph/Epilouge there are a good few ledges you can jump down from to get into range quickly.

yeah but Epitaph in most of my matches are just dumb rushes in the middle of the map, so i try to stay back and steal some kills with the pistol or a BR.

Give a man a fish and you will feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you just lost out on a wonderful business opportunity

Pistol is useless. You should hop around from ledge to ledge with a br picking off people below

I think that each of the weapons are not overpowered. they are both good in each situation. For instance, at a distance the BR will own anyone with an assualt rifle. but in closer quarters, anyone with a BR facing an AR will get mowed down before thay can get enough headshots. I dont think either of these are power weapons however, since they are not the absolute best at what they do, their just really good. In my opinion the AR and BR lay somewhere between the shotgun and the sniper rifle.

  • 04.29.2010 8:09 AM PDT

Yeah, lol, they never seem to notice that one. =D

IMO, the BR and AR are equally balanced. The BR is meant for medium-long ranges while the AR is meant for short-medium distances. A person with a BR can do very well from a distance, but put him up against someone with an AR at a close range, the AR will be dominant.

I like them the way they are.

I agree totally, the AR is what is considered a N00b weapon to people in the ranked playlists, meaning it takes practically no skill at all to use. Again i agree, if you lack the skill to use the honored battle rifle, dont pick it up....

MY Gamertag is now

FPS Jord

I used to always use the AR gettin high killstreaks with it but recently ive been getting tons of Team BR's so ive been deciding to use it. And now i always use BR over Ar.

  • 05.02.2010 1:29 PM PDT

wtf? i think the br is fine. theres nothing wrong with it

  • 05.02.2010 3:12 PM PDT

The next person to assume I am talking about ranked, do us all a favor and look at what I play!

I actually ran a study over the course of 20 games determining the necessity of the BR and its effect on gameplay. The results are this: The BR takes over most aspects of gameplay, frequently being more important than power weapons. The BR is not necessary in 90% of situations where its use is highly justified. The lack of a BR could usually be compensated for by taking cover, throwing grenades, or using an alternative weapon such as a magnum or a needler. The BR is a game breaker, end of story.

Personally I prefer the BR. I used to like th AR way more but now since I have better aim I find it easier to kill with the BR :)

BR and AR are probably the best underrated weapons in the game. LONG LIVE THE AR AND BR!!!!
