OK "gets ready for a load of abuse on this one"
My opinion for what it's worth. AR is a superior weapon especially when used by teams of people to rush for flags and AR running is a sure way to get back down the tunnel in Shine! SMG is a more skilled weapon, those who use it successfully are skilled players but often they have to resort to AR because that's the way the game rolls.
In my opinion the current weapons balance is quite true to life, AR is more powerful probably the most powerful of all the weapons, as for the others they broadly fit in too. In a game though is this fair, we constantly try and balance these weapons but we never succeed, I say do not try, it is not the weapon that needs balancing but the score you get from it. that way skilled players can use an inferior weapon and get rewarded for doing so. Newbies can get used to the game using a strong weapon that at least gives them a chance of getting a kill.
If we did the above it would add another tactical dimension to the game and may invigorate the play which has become a bit stale lately.
