Chemical Weapon!

ok, so everyone knows about the BR vs. SMG start war. i think the problem is that the BR is a little too powerful to have as a spawn wepon and the SMG a bit too weak. my solution is to make the spawn weapon be something like a br that shoots single shots that are about as powerful as the burst and has no scope and is less accurate. you would spawn with it, and you would be the same threat level as a br at close to medium rance, but what i think maks the BR too strong for a spawn weapon is that it has a scope and can kill from a distnace. (dont get me wrong, you would still be able to pick up a BR on the map, just not start with one)

This would be a good discussion point in either the weapons suggestions or multiplayer suggestions threads; you'll find links to both in the "Threads of Interest" sticky post above.

Hmmmm intresting point but that might just be why they decided to bring back old trusty in the trailer for H3. Also smg is only as weak as how you use it. I mean someone who isnt that great can be an idle threat even with a rocket launcher. But Someone who has "Teh Skillz" can get six consecutive kills without getting killed with just a plain old smg. But yeah it would be better to have a bi more of a balance.

I think that is a great idea, and yes the BR is overpowerd...
if they make ik more lika a carbine but human style, smaller clip and slower fire rate and a little more damage, you would have a fine weapon

something like the m1 carrand, with headshot and a 2x scope, and a clip with 14bullits in it, and the same reload time...

yes a weapon that I like

Back in my day we didn't have no fancy lasers, and the hogs were indestructible!

I think that's why they have brought back the AR, it will have the same magazine capacity as an SMG but will be more accurate, and probably just a little less powerful than the BR, no scope of course and only single wield.

Personally I would like to see some sort of special operations AR like replace the flashlight with laser rangefinder and give it a wicked silencer.
