It is worthless, the magnum is better.

It sounds powerful.

And the magnum sounds like a paintball gun but its better.

It's only worthless to those who can't use them. It can beat any non-power weapon on an even playing ground if used properly. Though it's extremely difficult to use properly.

I have a positive k/d with it, but the range sucks on it. Therefore the DMR beats it almost every time.

its good for clean up after expending a clip of the magnum (if you can get them down with 5 shots)

The AR is best fired in 2-shot bursts and can be fired in rapid succession. Though the timing required for it to effective is very difficult and has to be perfect. If done correctly you will fire almost as fast as full auto, without any accuracy loss. This will also increase the range.

Also, unlike the DMR, you can keep firing as fast as that at any distance up to mid-range without slowing down so that the bloom can settle. This gives it a huge advantage over the DMR at mid-range as the DMR needs to slow down while the AR does not.

That's actually impressive. Any good player will actually still win mid range with a DMR though.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOL

Spamming at mid-range with the DMR will make you miss at least one shot. Assuming the AR burst-fires at a very high rate and doesn't miss, the AR will always outclass the DMR.

It was made for people lacking thumbs.
The massive aim-assit/bullet magnetism on it is all the proof you need.



Also, spawning with a single weapon looks silly, they needed to give a 2nd weapons that would fill up the blank spot......

Goat was famous. Irie was infamous. Gh0st was FaMaS.

My stats in Halol 4

Typical Waypoint post.
no it's "its got to go" you wouldn't say the "it is got to go" would you?

Anybody who tells other people to pace the AR needs to go shoot themselves in the foot. Preferably with the AR since they would probably miss with any other weapon.

  • 02.14.2012 5:55 PM PDT

Nope.avi
If you want to test it Inv me :P

Pace it. Trueskill has your back.

Oh, and the point of the AR? Duh - it's the heart and soul of Noble Team. It stands for the values and ideals they stand for. Like the value of long range shotgun use, or the ideal way to drive a warthog full of marines off a cliff. You know - the things that matter.

Yeah. Trueskill has my back. You see the match time? I have faith in trueskill. Well, and faith that anybody not pushing a PW that early is going to suck.
