Assault rifles completely fuck over balancing in most games since it can kill at any range easily

Assault rifles completely fuck over balancing in most games since it can kill at any range easily.

Turn a corner
Nothing personal kid

it is true, games with greater distinction between rnaged and closer ranged weapons (especially if they differ based on being hit scan or projectile) tend to be balanced better.
I'd use tf2 as an "overall" example but the sniper rifle is busted asl so there goes that

Just like in real life and why small arms haven't seen any radical advancements since like the 60's

I never end up using traditional automatic weapons in games. They just don't feel satisfying to shoot.

*cries in Halo*

Agreed, the base gun every game should balance around is the shotgun. Then you start adding all the interesting stuff afterwards. Like a spray can and lighter, or a flare gun, or a shrink ray or freeze ray. If you really must have a gun that has a high rate of fire, a minigun or chain gun should be it.

Assault rifles aren't that good. Shotguns are better at any range. You can peek out of cover and shoot someone. The assault rifle's sustained dps becomes irrelevant, and they are much easier to dodge compared to a shotgun.

Geez that's a big one!

Seething shotgunfag.

smg bros, our day will never come.

at any range

Retard.

Games with realistic guns always have bad gameplay.

avoids using the shotgun because it is perceived as the cqc gun

Retard.

I think Bad Company 2 is a good example as to how to handle them. I dunno it just sounds like you play shitty games.

Have fun hitting and dealing considerable damage to anything at 100 meters, poindexter. There is a reason the assault rifle is the default go-to of any military instead of the shotgun.

bingo, they're also boring as fuck

Assault rifles are for genocide, not combat. If the U.S had competant opponents then they would adopt the shotgun as the default. Shotguns will always be superior for combat.

Is everyone in the military clinically retarded globally? Why can't the just be smart like (You)?

Hitman 3 does assault rifles right

Sniper Rifles* completely fuck over balancing in most games since it can kill at any range easily.

Fixed

adopted the 308
adopted the M14
adopted the 277 SIG
adopted the XM7 formerly 5
Yes.

Actually napalm runs would be superior

Third world countries are usually 100-200 years behind America in combat knowledge.

I love guns

I'd use tf2 as an "overall" example but the sniper rifle is busted asl so there goes that

because it's literally the only long range hitscan gun that isn't some peashooter in the entire game + tf2 maps are very hallway focused

It takes more skill to use a sniper than it is to use an assault rifle

sniper: line up the reticle, time the press of the mouse and hope you didn't miss

assault: drag your mouse in an enemy's general direction and hold down fire to win

Time to choose the sniper class and be a badas-

Everyone is using MGs with 6x zoom optics that also kill in one body shot

What's even the point?

Sniper: point and click anywhere over the enemy and get an instant kill, be so far away that other weapon types can't do shit against you, so you can miss as much as you want

Assault: Have to maintain your aim on the target for half a second while dealing with him moving erratically and compensating for recoil because the AR requires multiple bullets to kill or absolutely needs headshots, damage also magically drops like a rock over a short distance
