I would like to see the AR
1. louder
2. more accurate in auto and in burst- in burst it realy should be just as accurate as the BR and in auto it should be reasonable like the ODST SMG
3. dose more armor damage and less shield. there was a point in time where it took 8 shots to drop the shield and 9 to kill--- head shot would be nice
4. an aim mechanic that makes the reticule smaller

this would throw it out of balance with the BR however

i still think the BR should be more practical than the AR at longer ranges. so i would like to see the SEMI AUTO BR. it would make a little more purpose built like a tactical sniper rifle instead of a different type of Assault rifle.

i would balance it this way
Because you have to Burst with the AR at longer ranges the BR wins but up close you could lay on the trigger and hit every time with the AR so the AR should win

it doese'nt look nextgen , looks good but not nextgen
If by next-gen you mean crappy, dark and colorless, I agree. It doesnt look next-gen at all.

Seriously you posted this in another thread. The same thing too. Did you really have to make ANOTHER BR/AR balance thread with the same thing you already posted in one of the other threads about basically the same thing?

while your ideas are good, there is no reason to make another thread. Just post it in an already existing thread so you can add more to the debate. =)

Death to rank junkies.

It would be better to make covenant weapons in general more powerful.
