Generally I'll tend towards an assault rifle but one with a semi automatic mode and a high accuracy.
So generally an m14 or similar.

I gave the revenant the scope and stability damper mods and it fixed the accuracy and recoil problems for the most part. But yeah when it comes to assault rifles in ME3 I'm starting to go the Geth Pulse Rifle route. Thing shoots in a perfect line and if you give it incendiary ammo it causes lots of explosions, especially with a ammo capacity mod.KingsGambit said:I only put that by way of an one-liner, but in fairness SMGs are generally high RoF, high recoil. low accuracy and +/- pistol-ish level damage, so their effectiveness is down to getting the most shots onto a target in as short a time as possible. I've always found it a hard playstyle to get to grips with as I can't manage burst fire, reloading or ammo management properly to be effective. The best use I've found for them is when you have enemies bottlenecked in a corridor or doorway; it's cool to just pull the trigger and seconds later, move past a pile of dead enemies...no other weapon can do that quite so well.Smiley Face said:I like to use short range weapons. You put Spray and Pray down for the SMG, but all it comes down to is that, provided you're at close enough range before the fight starts, you'll beat out most any other weapon - and unlike the shotgun, if you miss, or if there are multiple targets, you can still take them down.
I also don't know how you all manage with the semi-auto ARs. They're such weird weapons I can't work out how best to use them. If I only get one shot, I'd prefer it to come from a sniper rifle barrel at range, or up close with a shotgun where it can still do good damage, even with a glancing hit to the leg. I kinda manage alright with the M308 in Payday but that's because I use it as a sniper.
I tried the Revenant more than once, what with it being the soldier's evolved weapon in ME2, but I can't use it right. The accuracy is just terrible in the middle range where an AR ought to be best. Geth Pulse Rifle was better I think. Same low damage, high RoF but better accuracy.Beffudled Sheep said:Edit: There were two more games I forgot!
The first is Hitman (any of them will do). The gunplay is usually clunky (still fun for massacres ) so I stick to my sexy, sexy Silverballers (pistols) and my fiberwire and a knife.
The other is Mass effect 3. I usually prefer the Paladin or Phalanx pistol, the Black Widow or Widow sniper or the Geth Plasma Shotgun. And when I do go with the assault rifle I usually pick the Revenant or Typhoon.
I'm with you on the silverballers. Loved those (without the full-auto nonsense). Shame Absolution was so atrocious. :-\
