Assault rifles sometimes feel too weak or i just havent used them enough recently.
Smgs spray better and seem to shoot better on the move. They just feel easier to use. I feel more confident using an XM8-C than the AEK. Better percieved chance of killing people at close and medium range.
Imo the vss beats the hell out of assault rifles. Kills in 4-5 body shots no matter what. Very fast reload. Comes stock with a scope, giving you better eyes. I find myself trying to play the same with assault rifles and they just dont have the same capabilities. Then i dont have any balls....err motion balls.
You can snipe like a sniper or go semi AR style. Very versatile.
The one thing that makes assault rifles worthwhile is the chosable attachement. 40mm SGN with extra nade perk has been very very nice sometimes on more clustered maps like White Pass or Laguna Alta. But then if im on some server that has fail hitboxes i pretty much quit using ARs there.
I've gone on empty servers before and shot most of the guns to see how they work well but im starting to wonder if assault rifles actually work more like in 2142 where i want to be aiming at thier crotch at medium range when i fire a longer burst.
It just seems inconsistent. Ive killed people insanely fast from spraying at oddly long ranges and then the same thing wont work when they are closer.
That would be one benefit of going platinum with all the weapons is most of the time when you get to 1000 kills with a weapon you have a very good handle on how it works.
