Yes, [b][u]and no[/u][/b]. Yes, because they're getting a 10% damage boost against AI and an overall boost in damage. So that's good. But they will also have faster damage drop-off. A screenshot they showed in the 2.0 tuning post had a sample of a Captain getting pinged by a machine-gun. At maybe 3 or 4 meters the pings were for 19 damage. At 7-10 meters the pings were for 14 damage. That's a big drop-off in a relatively short distance. Thats a 25% loss in damage in a relatively short distance; imagine what it's like at 50 meters or more? Now, I don't know if that screenshot was accurately depicting the % loss or just a "for-instance" to get their point across. But overall it could be a net-loss for Auto Rifles.
