Whenever it is up against the DMR or BR, it is like there is no competition needed, you will most likely loose the battle. I mean its a good starter weapon and such, but do you think it should last a little longer as a standard weapon such as the br or DMR?
Not really sure what you mean by under powered??? That gun is ridiculously strong up close, where it’s meant to be used. Yeah if you try winning a mid range fight against a BR then good luck but only an idiot would attempt that with an AR in hand. That’s halo 101.
ar has no skill involved you just spray it at enemies it shouldn’t even be a primary weapon if anything it is over powered it always has been a close range weapon now its competing at mid range NURF
Totally the strongest weapon for Adrift. One clip emptied is one dead guy, couple that with Dexterity and it’s unbelievably good.
It seems far stronger than Reach or H3, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Unless you’re one of the people I laugh at as they try to shoot me from zoom-distance with an AR.
Is it as flexible as a DMR/BR/Carbine? No.
Is it massively improved over Reach? Hells yes.
Wait what
If anything the AR is overpowered
Nope. My last Pro Slayer game I played exclusively with the assault rifle except for my first spawn (selected the wrong loadout). No problems with the AR here. I came out on top of the match against guys wielding BRs and DMRs almost exclusively. It wasn’t an easy fight, but you can’t tell me the AR is underpowered. You just gotta learn to use it right.
Good AR users strafe as they come toward you. Bad AR users run a straight path towards a player as if forward is the only direction designed into the joystick. I’ve noticed that I actually get overwhelmed from an AR user when they switch up their path as they rush you. The ones that run straight, well they just make my game easy.

Also, if you look at the game record, you might notice two DNF’s on my team of players that betrayed me to steal the sniper rifle off me. Won that game 2 v 4, with an AR, so once again, don’t try to tell me it’s underpowered.

Also, a good AR user knows how to time his bursts instead of spray rounds in the general direction of his or her target.
AR + Mobility + Dexterity on a small map.
Oh boy.

SSSHHHH!!!
Don’t give away our secrets!!!
Good to keep a Magnum handy though for when you empty a mag and your target is too far away for a sprint/melee. BOOM! Headshot 
I love the AR it’s just the damn bloom on the gun expanded way to fast.
At a ranged fight, yes. The AR will have a hard time taking out BRs and DMRs. However, if you burst fire, dance, and use Sprint to get around enemies and to keep the distance down, you will almost always kill players with it.
Learn the maps, jumps and how to strafe, and you will be good against the ranged weapons. Distance is not your friend, so always find ways to keep your enemies close(unless he has a shotgun, SAW or sword. In that case, run like a school girl).
my biggest issue is how you can unload a full clip to someones head up close but they hit you twice with melee and you die.its like a elbow to the face is stronger than bullets for some odd reason

Exactly what I don’t use. To all the noobs out there who think this is effective, it’s not.
/s
If anything it is OP.
halo has always had the marksman rifles kill faster for a simple reason. The reason is it is harder to kill with, a Reward for skill. Now AR shreds anything up close, it may as well be a saw.

I’m not a noob. That’s what I use. It’s effective if done right, and used effectively. If an actual noob tries to use this, they’ll get owned by someone with a shotgun. Also, use thruster packs, for evading shotguns 
So far, I’ve managed to evade a fairly sufficient number of players with shotguns and kill them with AR/melee.
Guys, he’s trolling… slaps head…
