Breasts, or remove thyself!

I voted for a 16 round kill. The MA37 sounds 100x more powerful than the MA5B or C, and therefore should at least be as powerful as its predecesors.

Does anyone even look at B.net sigs?

It does sound better :)

But the main reason this should be implemented is for gameplay and ballance issues.

They really should've made the AR more powerful and kept and SMG in the game for a weak, last-resort-if-you've-got-nothing-else-weapon.

Oh and while they're buffing the AR, why not buff the Plasma Repeater too, that thing is really in need of a damage boost.

So, dear Bungie community, point is:

The AR needs a damage increase.

*Note that any argument against this (as rare as they were) was countered, and disproven.

Play the game like it is real; use cover, use teamwork and you will survive.

I'm in for a damage increase :D

I have to admit, that for once the general opinion is one that would actually be beneficial.

We cant have it too powerful though, then everyone would spawn with a power weapon that kills easy. I'd like it too have a few more rounds but I doubt that will happen.

You mean the BR/DMR?

I was actually quite surprised by this aswell!

Besides, I would find it really strange if Bungie wouldn´t do anything with this even after so many people voted about it.

I hope they implement the change, but knowing Bungie, and seeing how they aren't responding to the complaints (valid or otherwise) thay might not give a damn.

But this is different from all the Bloom threads.

This is an easy to implement tweak, that can only be beneficial :)

Do you know for a fact that it's easy to implement?

(BTW, thanks for your comment on my vid in my File Share! :D)

  • gamertag: [none]
  • user homepage:

considering the fact that the most used weapons (or at least considered powerful) are headshot weapons, non-headshot weapons (including the AR) need serious buffs.

  • 12.13.2010 3:34 PM PDT

Only reasonable if every weapon also received a form of buff.

  • 12.13.2010 3:36 PM PDT

AR FTW

  • 12.13.2010 3:39 PM PDT

I thought this tread was dead; good thing I was wrong.
I'm for the 16 shot kill.

  • 12.13.2010 3:43 PM PDT

I prefer the M16. Takes about one round to kill, although if you're using 3 round burst you'll waste two shots but hey better than wasting 10 on fully automatic.

  • 12.13.2010 3:47 PM PDT

Please do this.

From experience.

In CoD: BO they implemented weapon damage tests ingame- LIVE ;)

And significantly changed the way the sniper works :)

P.S. No problem, it's an awsome vid :D

Thanks for helping keep it alive :)

I'm for the 16 shot kill as well, as that promotes aiming :)

Mag size increase = promoting spraying I think, while in reality keeping it as weak as it is.

Check out my channel! Link in 'My Homepage' above!

Comment and rate, and subscribe if you like what you see!

I'm rendering clips using b.net, but HD PVR coming soon!

Agreed.

PEOPLE, bungie wants you to put it down for a better weapons. If you increase the mag or the damage it will become a weapon as powerful as the others that take more skill to use and no one will drop it. I know a ton of players that never picked up other weapons in halo 3.

If the increase happens in one or the other or both I vote for a decrease in the accuracy so you actually need to be closer to use it.

I voted NO

  • 12.13.2010 5:34 PM PDT

Come at me bro.

And lower the auto aim A LOT or else there will be noobs running around killing with the AR

I hate to break it to you, but the M16A4 and M4 are the only weapons in the world that I can think of that take 3-5 rounds to put someone down, unless you get lucky with a lethal-T shot or a major organ. There's a reason that changing to 5.56 NATO from 7.62 NATO was so unpopular with the US Army and Marines.

  • 12.13.2010 11:57 PM PDT

I'm sorry but somebody that uses the AR correctly, has the same chances to beat a DMR marksman.
No damage/Bigger mag needed
And there's something called Reloading or something called Magnum FOR WHEN U RUN OUT OF AMMO.

Magnum is awesome.
