Does anyone even look at B.net sigs?

I think that the AR represents the lowest possible weapon, both in terms of results obtainable and skill required*. It's the baseline for all weapons, it says "this is what you need to better than if you want to be at least somewhat viable". It's the first weapon most players feel in their hands and a great tool for them, because of it's simplicity and usability. That said, I also see why it has to be worse than any weapon requiring even a bit more skill. E.g. If the AR could out run the magnum for a kill, even only at close range, the magnum would be totally awful (as no matter how good you were with the magnum, you know you'd lose to someone at close range if they had an AR).
Therefore I completely approve of the way things are at the moment and want no changes to the AR at all.
*:I'm not saying this is a constant, for example sometimes you will need more skill with the AR than a quick rocket kill requires, but on average, you just keep them in the center of your screen and fire, bursting if need be. Too Simple.
The Magnum user should back away, and with the proposed change would still win.
The AR, if sprayed, even if it kills in only 12 shots, would still be terible because of inacuracy.
Knowing the correct bursts at the correct range requires skill.
These changes would not give power to the noobs, but rather help skilled players have the option to use the AR.
EDIT: Besides, I'm sick of using the DMR all the time- I'd like an usefull automatic weapon, and I don't like the Needle Rifle's style (same as with the covenant carbine).
