Does anyone even look at B.net sigs?

I agree, it feels like it needs just a tiny upgrade. It shouldn't take a quarter of a clip to kill an unshielded opponent, and it feels ridiculously weak in campaign.


Yes. Just a little more power in the rounds will do it. 16 rounds to kill seems like the perfect balance.

That is true remember halo 1 when the ar could take down a hunter if you tried. Now the hunter laughs at your puny magazine!


Or rather your weak rounds. But the Hunter was very weak in CE. One M6D shot and he could be killed.

This thread is much stranger and more awkward than any of my many films.

Well, look at it this way; This thread was on the front page for a helluva long time, so long that a Bungie employee probably stopped by. Just because they decided to not post and cause this thread to become locked due to the flood of morons that follow Gold wherever it goes. You even made it past 8 pages, which is damn good for a thread of this kind. But, everything must end.

If you still are down, then I'm going to just disregard the TOS for B.net and derail this whole thread, as it's probably dead now anyways, so what the hell: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPgNcDOe2_E&feature=relate d Just wear a headset when you listen to it.

Dark Neptune, a young amateur astronomer whose gaming life is no different from other teenagers of his age, though he controls it more strictly then others.

OP, it's still 20 rounds to kill, not 18. For Spartans I mean. Elites require 22 rounds.

  • 11.24.2010 9:05 PM PDT

I wish it was stronger .... the DMR which was meant for mid and far range beats the freaking AR at CQC.

  • 11.24.2010 9:12 PM PDT

Don't worry, you're still your mom's favorite Bnet member.

Anyone else remember the Beta Forum thread "clip size eliminates skill gap"? That thread pretty much summed up my opinion.

Gamertag: That Laggy Noob

Now that the SMG is gone the AR should have it's mag increased to 60 rounds. The amount of damage it does at the moment is fine, although the rate of fire should be increased slightly.

In other words: Bring back the Halo 1 AR.

AVG

Same here, I want that iconic AR from Halo CE back, and I want it to kill.

I've bumped *several* times.

Yes but the Plasma repeat needs a buff also....
And the plasma launcher


The plasma launcher is fairly powerfull already.

The PR could use faster bolts.

No way. I already feel like it's a little too powerful. Any more buffing, and it will become overpowered that ultimately leads to people mindlessly rushing with it.

The beta AR was perfect, because it forced people to think before they rushed and sprayed and prayed.

I disagree, it forced people to press Y at the start of the game.

It was extremely weak then. It's still very weak now. And if you're having problems beating a guy that has an AR, I would sugesst you go play another game. No offense.

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance.

AR shouldnt kill in mid range wiht 1 clip... thats what the magnum should do >_____>

Yeah, I remember that thread. That thread is so true, and so should apply to the AR.

It should be usefull at mid range. It doesen't have a headshot multiplier, so that already ofsets it, not to mention the magnum's higher accuracy.

I'd rather have stronger bullets though. 16 bullets to kill.
