High ROF Autorifles - Blanket Nerfs are a Bad Idea (Destiny)

I don't know, man. It sounds to me like you've never used a good autorifle.

These are the facts: The slower RoF autorifles are easier to aim, are effective over longer ranges, have a faster time to kill, and need fewer reloads than their high RoF siblings. There is literally no advantage to the high RoF weapons. They're all downside.

This is exactly why I think they need to get rid of the slower RoF ARs, I think they are covering a nitch that pulse rifles and scout rifles already fill. I mean, who needs to use a pulse rifle when you have SUROS? And they give the high RoF ARs a bad rap.

I actually agree with you!

Though the high RoF autorifles are eclipsed in their "intended" role by shotguns. They simply need higher impact and larger magazines. There's no reason it should take twice as long to load the weapon as it does to empty it.
