Subject: Is it always best to switch out ARs for something else?

Deutschland uber alles!

If you burst it properly and combine it with the beat down combo it is quite lethal. Dont let it fool you its a pretty good weapon but like all guns you need to know how to use it right.

When abe goes to a parties, all the chicks grind with him, easy.

Play smart, switch if another weapon suits the situation better.

Right, though I did find the Machinima AR comparison video, where the first three weapons is what I'm talking about. I also watched some commentaries where the guys say plasma rifle rush/beatdown beats AR rush/beatdown >90% of the time. I seem to notice this happens for me with the spiker too.

"Team shoot the wraith!"
"What's a team shoot and what's a wraith?!"
"It means we all shoot at the big blue thing together!"
"Okay!"

I dual wield.

SMG + Plasma Rifle = unstoppable at close range. Although I will try to get a Carbine or BR.

Forget the SMG, SPiker's better for that combo.

I went outside today. The graphics were AMAZING. The gameplay WASN"T.

Maybe I should cry for help
Maybe I should kill myself
Blame it on my ADD baby

Only close range, at mid range SMG is far better.

I like to have a headshot weapon at all times. Its best in my opinon to have your AR and Pistol, or AR and BR. i also occasionally will use Plasma Rifles instead of AR for maps such as citadel,and narrows which have TWO overshields. Stay away from open spaces when using your Plasma Rifle. If you are elevated from your enemys brute shots are good too.

Also try not to go for your beatdown with the AR unless you have to. back away when getting rushed when they try to go for their beatdown you will win.

Wat.
I get confused when I use smg with pr at mid range because I have to lead my pr shots but not my smg shots. Whole reason I think spiker is better with pr is both bullets travel at similar velocities.
