A thread from the Reach Beta (Skip if you want the up-to-date details.).
This old beta thread shows us some of the problems that the MA37 (Reach AR) has.
It is too weak with the new, lower rate of fire.
The current number of rounds to kill is 18-20. That, along with the slow ROF and new melee system, makes the AR an unviable choice for CQB (Close Quarters Battle- meaning short range). You'd be better off meleeing with the DMR and getting the insta-kill headshot.
At Medium range it still loses out to most, if not all weapons because of it's long kill time.
This can be remedied somewhat, by increasing the damage of each single round, putting it at 16 to kill. That way the AR could get 2 perfect kills without reloading, which never happens anyway, but would help increase it's offensive power and balance it with other weapons. It would still be the underdog, but skilled players who know how to burst fire, and feather the AR would once again feel like god's own anti-SOBs.
EDIT: It already kills with 18 rounds- and it feels like it shoots hot popcorn. If it gets upgraded to 16 rounds to kill it would be perfect.
The AR ALWAYS MISSES AT LEAST ONE BULLET. So it would be very hard to kill 2 guys, and if someone does that, they damn well deserve it (Since they would have to hit each and every round).
By putting it down to 16, you would just upgrade the effectiveness of bursts, rewarding skill with an iconic Halo weapon.
Even in campaign on higher dificulties it is very weak.
Do you agree with this change?
New Intel: Thread
This thread here just goes to prove that the community agrees that the AR is preety much useless at the moment.
This change needs to be implemented.
Increasing the damage per round so that the AR kills in 16 shots.
