Subject: When is it ever good to use the AR

Ohai, I'm Loscocco (pronounced Loss-cocoa). I'm a college student (computer science major), 3D animator, and long-time Halo player.

It's good when you lack thumbs to aim with.

Religion is stupid. Halo is amazing.

You've obviously never heard of the old trick. It was used in H3 alot. You use a whole clip on an enemy and hit 'em. Instant kill.

wtf

After every weapon has no ammo...

Walk by faith. Dude. Not by sight.

Works great in small maps in CQC situations when people don't have evade and can't aim well.

1st phase Invasion, when I'm out of pistol ammo.

There's actually some pretty good feedback in this thread.

As a person aiming for 100% commendations I'm going to have to use this thing at some point to get automatic weapon kills.

Guess I had better start playing more FFA and Invasion.

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.

I love using the AR. IDC what anyone says.

Not even remotely worried about k/d or w/l.

If I was worried about k/d I'd search in BTB 95% of the time (but I'll eventually have to for Mobile Asset or the driving one).

If I was worried about w/l I'd search with a party and dominate randoms.

And actually, now that I think about it, searching 900+ games in Swat (precision weapon/headshot commendations) has decimated my overall k/d anyway. I'm like 1.26 in there and 1.66 overall ... maybe even a 2.0 had I stayed clear of that host based BS of a playlist.

At the moment, and though I'm not a fan of it, I'm searching in Anniversary playlists where the pistol is super OP (literally no reason to pick up anything else) and easy side arm kills.

The AR in invasion just seems like the next logical step I suppose.
