Subject: What is the point of the AR?

I'm about as slightly above average as you can get.

It is worthless, the magnum is better.


Wow. So lazy that you don't even sign into your regular account. Who are you, anyway?

OT: Spiker is superior.

I understand nothing because my life is a conspiracy.

Before the TU, it was decent. It's for people who don't feel comfortable with scopes. I like the Assault Rifle (not for that reason, though).

To be honest I forget sometimes

Two makes there more than speakers.

It's a good weapon for most situations in general. Easy to use and it's somewhat okay for getting kills.

I have recreated the video on wobbly's account. In TU settings the DMR won 90% of the time. This is with 2 people standing still.

When actually re-creating a 1v1 battle AR v DMR mid range. ( With a Person the same skill level as me) The DMR out right won. The person didn't even take health damage.

I guess this may work in Vanilla. But who cares that was a broken game.


EDIT: In 100% it came a lot closer. Only once it bet the DMR because of Bloom.

ARS r the best weapon in the game so good i love it

  • 02.14.2012 6:34 PM PDT

Reach makes me want to gargle gasoline whiling jerking myself off with sandpaper.

AR sucks giant dick

It has no 'point'

There aren't really points on the AR. It's kind of round.

  • 02.14.2012 6:35 PM PDT

Want a cool clan? Join FRAG!

Want a war sim? The best war sim in Halo, Forerunner Conflict.

It can beat any non-power weapon on an even playing ground if used against thumbless mentally challenged idiots.

Agreed. All the changes are good and add variety. Do we really want another Halo 3? Just running around with one gun and no armor abilities? It's good that 343 wants to try something new. Do we really want the same thing for three more games?

Give bad players a weapon to rely on.

How can they rely on it? If they use it, they will lose every time.

They sure as hell can't use a magnum or a DMR.

True, maybe they should spawn with rocket launchers and swords.

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

The people who think the AR takes skill should go here.

My problems [with Reach] are basically just full parties, mlg, and people who go out of their way not to get killed.

People claim it adds "variety" to gameplay and that it somehow promotes "map movement".

Don't ask me.

Maybe it promotes "map movement" because you "move" to where the Magnum/Needle Rifle/DMR spawns, pick any one up, and then proceed to spawn camp the other team by using better weaponry.

I find it hypocritical that people will say that AR users have no skill, but then go and say the DMR is better.

OT:I find the AR a good close to mid range weapon. It's easily one of my favorite weapons. It's one of those guns where it's more versatile than any other gun in the game. It can be used at close range, but a sword or shotgun will easily beat it, but it will beat a DMR, while it can beat a shotgun or sword at mid range, while it gets out beat by a DMR.

Ar takes more skill than rockets and sword.

  • 02.14.2012 8:21 PM PDT

It's for people who can't aim. DUH. Halo would have alot less players without it.

You contradict yourself when you say a weapon requires no skill to use and is a crutch for bad players, and then say the weapon you love is better then that weapon, you are being a hypocrite. If the DMR is better than the AR then stop complaining about howpeople who "lack skill" can kill you with it.

  • 02.14.2012 9:23 PM PDT

Ive heard noobs describe it this way

'it never misses'

And pros refer to it as

'it takes no skill'

I think both are right.

I call it the bullet hose

  • 02.14.2012 9:26 PM PDT

I'm in love with Jesus and proud of it!

Erratic spread, poor range, low damage output and inability to overpower most other weapons make this a FINE choice.
