You can keep ignoring what I'm actually saying if you want. I didn't say that. All I said is that they aren't useless and they are actually pretty useful when used in the right situation. Some only like 3 people seem to actually understand what I said.
Unless you have a power weapon a skilled player is going to kill with a BR at ANY range. Its not up for debate. The usefulness of those weapons is completely linked to the skill of the person your fighting. I can guarantee that if you tried some close quarter dual wield combo against any competent BR user your going to be absolutely destroyed.
Thats one of the reasons Bloom was introduced to limit the effectiveness of the BR/DMR because its essentially the only weapon bar power weapons worth picking up.
You like spikers and SMG's? thats cool, me to. But when you being so arrogant about your skill with them and calling telling someone like kyle(and the rest of us) who is a really good player that he cant even use a AR properly no one will take your opinion seriously.
You think we just grabbed the DMR/BR and ignored the sandbox completely? well i got news we didnt we obviously tested everything because getting good at the game was the goal if the PR or the Spiker was a dominant weapon then we would be using those instead. There is a very clear reason why we are not.
