I just don't understand why people Like AR starts over DMR starts here is what happens most of the time with the AR. You shoot at one another then you get closer and KO both your self's???

DMR>AR, but every AR battle doesn't have to end with a melee. AR>5 Shot Bloom Pistol

You must confront your inabilities
You must adjust to your capabilities

1v1 and you have to reload your dmr or pistol and the guy is one shot, but your secondary is a crappy AR.

edit-why say it sucks when it is #6 in your top weapons?

And then die when several bullets come out of your enemies corpse because of Reach's superior registration system.

The 343 forums suck. They're full of retarded kids and mods who got butthurt in the B.net forums for being told that they're bad.

Use it in Multi-team or Invasion.

In Multi-team, it cleans up nicely.

In Invasion, the dino's hitboxes are so huge that every bullet that you shoot at them is nearly guaranteed to hit.

Only use it if you need to get your automatic weapon commendation up to onyx.

  • 03.23.2012 3:44 PM PDT

point blank range

but that doesn't matter since you can just melee twice

gg reach melee system

I do love to see a player with a k/D lower then 1-2 to use AR. No wonder why they use it when they have no brain and thumbs.

strafing


In Reach? IMPOSSIBLE.

bungie has proven that a bunch of monkeys sitting in front of keyboards can randomly type out a masterpiece. the thing is, when you go to play the masterpiece, you cant help but notice all the monkey s**t smeared all over it.

it gets real old having to wait months for someone like mlg to clean off all the monkey poo.

the ar is the most powerful non 1 hit kill weapon in the game. its brokenly overpowered.

how it works:
1. dont get instakilled by an instakill weapon
2. ignore and walk away from anyone who's shooting at you from over 30 feet away. you cant hurt them, and they cant hurt you. as long as its not a 3v1 teamshoot, you'll reach cover long before their dmr scratches your shields.
3. under 30 feet close your eyes and hold down the ar's trigger. all of your bullets will get sucked into your opponent and shred them before they can walk 10 feet.

i once made an ar account just to prove how broken the ar is. it ended up with a significantly higher kd despite nonexistant effort on my part.

spiral out

It's effective range is 5-10ft. Melee lunge is twice that, so the AR is redundant with Reach's turbo beatdowns.

Always up for REACH customs!

meh, it's better than getting killed while reloading.

Mediocre Backpacker
56% W\L
2.86 k\d
3.18 DMR
7.29 God Magnum
7.79 Sniper
5.34 Needle Rifle

Never. Use the Magnum you scrub.

The Internet is an empowerment tool that's agnostic; it doesn't care about race, gender, or age.

It's good for cross map encounters. It's my go to weapon on Hemorrhage.

I'd rather see a gametype with o weapons on map, just your starting weapons.
That being said, the AR can be useful, just rarely. It doesn't have the clip size it used too, while still dealing the same damage.

"To me, a nice triple kill with the sniper is infinitely more impressive than any Living Dead Killionaire"

Does flaming people on forums count as an esport?

It's decent for cleaning up kills where you missed a few pistol shots and you just need to finish someone before they get away. That's about it though.
