I don't know, JaegerBane. Having all 16 shots go at once in AR (or close enough to seem that way) would give me time to get to cover before AR runs out. Reload, repeat.
It would be the most awesome compliment to AR ever. Would make the widow, rev, heck pretty much everything obsolete on the Soldier providing you could find ammo for it.
Cast a squadie's overload or warp to take off most defenses, pop an ar, jack-in-the-box up, push button, drop back to cover. Reload, switch to pistol while everything cools down, repeat.

I wasn't really clear there - I didn't mean to imply a auto Mattock would fire off all it's shots at once, what I meant was that a fully auto-Mattock's performance isn't really any different to what we see now if you bash the hell out of the fire button under AR. It's prime limiting factor is still it's ammo, as it's RPM cap is huge.

The only time you'll ever need to empty a full clip is against big guys, most of the time 4-7 non-headshots is enough to kill a regular merc. If the Mattock is fully automatic with its current RoF, one burst should equal to about that amount.

Personally, I prefer the manual precision, the variable control of speed, and the joy of knowing when I make a killing shot instead of letting automation taking care of that.

Stuff about m16s and AKs etc (that I've trimmed)
 

I would've thought the Mattock was more analogous to say one of those revamped M14s (EBR maybe to the vipers' EMR) than an M16/M4 or AK anyway.

Select fire would be nice in ME3. Was kinda thinking the geth plasma shotgun should've been a secondary fire mode on the GPR (yes I know the GPR sort of already has a secondary mode where the fire rate changes), to make it more useful.  Dunno how you'd implement that though in ME3, especially for console gamers where the limited number of buttons are an issue with there already not being anything equivalent to the PCs hotkeys for handling squad powers and quick no-pause weapon switching.

I agree, it would be more comparable to a M14, or M1, or even an LWRC REPR, but I actually prefer the rifle semi auto, easier to aquire.  I still hope in ME3 that that all assault rifles have select fire if they are anything more than semi auto.  So all full autos or three round bursts would have the option to fire at semi auto.  What do you guys think.

You can set an effective select fire yourself, if you wish. Just a little editing of the coalesced.ini. I do it with my Mattock and Rev. It's a little more complicated with the Vindicator, though But I don't use that now that I have the Mattock...

I still prefer single fire on the Mattock, though. Go figure.

Funny, I think of the Mattock as a space M14 too. I still prefer the Vindicator however.
