Assault Rifle is so weak

[Joe]

Please may this weapon be buffed¿? I mean , increase its damage

[Maniac Mike]

You feel like it's weak because all anyone ever spawns with is the godly DMR. It would make sense if everyone spawned with the slightly weaker, yet still viable AR and hopefully pick up the BR in the map, but this is currently not the case.

To sum it up, everyone spawns with a DMR, everyone uses only a DMR the entire match.

Yeah. Close-range the AR is second best to the Shotgun. There's been times where I rushed a DMR user and lit them up without getting hit myself.

you need to practice quickly switching weapon to pistol, it may help a lot

It's literally meant to be the weakest weapon in the game. It's SUPPOSED to be the starting weapon and you search the map for better weapons.

People are just using it wrong. AR is for cqc where headshots are hard to land. If you’re at a distance, don’t use it. If you’re up close but can get easy headshots, don’t use it. If you follow that then it’s pretty consistent

AR is great at close range for sapping shields into melee. Its not that bad at medium range when you tapfire it.

I mean i cannot kill anybody with a magazine even when i did not miss any bullet on them

[GnomeDompski]

It's strong at the right range. A short burst and a smack is a faster kill than a DMR.

[SoniKzone]

They won't be balancing anything, they want to keep it close to authentic Halo as possible.

If you can't kill them with a full clip... then you missed...

[Defy]

Man. All these new comers.

Well if they wont buff any weapon to keep ot close to authentic halo reach, they will improve the perfomance of Framerate and sound of this game instead?

[SomeFellow74]

I don't think it needs a buff at all. Matter of fact, it seems more effective than I remember it being in the 360 days - I think they already did buff it a bit.

Game doesn't have framerate issues. Runs amazing at 60 FPS on ancient hardware. They're working on sound. The assualt rifle stats are untouched.
