This has been discussed to death, but I suppose I haven't put in my opinion:
I don't mind if the Assault Rifle is nerfed, but have at least one component of the AR that is better.
The reason being, it will feel really bad when current AR players will use the new AR in the new version only to find it a lamer version of the weapon they favoured in the past. That's what I would feel, at least.
Yes, if we all decided that AR is too OP currently, then I agree it needs to get nerfed as whole. But add something better to the AR, even if it's just something small.
That way it's not like: "Oh, I used to have a 20 bullet AR, now I have to use 15." There would be no denial that the AR is now worse than before.
I think this would lead to current AR users today to quit AC.
However, if you add a small bonus to AR: "Oh look, they made AR 15 clips now, but at least it has ___."
Now the AR is worse than the current version, but is better in some aspects.
On the whole, my argument really has to do with the psychological side of things, not really about balance.
Bottom line, introducing an AR that simply has lower specs than the current one is a turn off for AR players.
