Are you serious? We have enough weapons as it is. Most people don't want more guns, we want more story content and + armor pieces like the aegis pack. A gun is a gun. They all end at the same thing - someone dies. No need for a new model if it does the same thing. Yeah, it might have a different projectile and sound, but come on. I'd take story/armor over weapons any day. We have enough weapons.

While I can understand the sentiment, the fact remains that ME2 doesn't really have a genuinely effective assault rifle. The Avenger shoots peas, the Collector Rifle has a poor fire rate and the Geth Rifle is a collection of bizarre traits, such as SMG-like stats and variable rates of fire. There isn't any solid, effective assault rifles like the Spectre X AR from ME1.
Sure, we've got the Vindi and the Revenant, but neither are really assault rifles.
Hence, I'd at least like to see the new AR.
