It's boring.  I don't play a game to be bored

So don't QQ about and do something about it.  Its 'boring' when you're just lobbing ball after ball at a group but I try to ricochet shots against walls at enemies on the other side for the fun of it.

Looks like someone just learned what QQ means and feels like using it in every post.

I'm just bored and no I've know what QQ meant when we went from 40 to 25.  And I'm sorry its really hard to find another word to describe the many crying babies on the forums.

QQ BUFF THE GETH!

QQ The Quarian Infiltrator is to good, NERF IT!

QQ lower the dmg of Vanguards in bronze!

cry cry cry.

Falcon, but it's only an assault rifle because there is no grenade launcher classification.

If I had to pick between "true" assault rifles either the saber or geth pulse rifle.

[Elecbender]

Mattock with damage mod under Adrenaline Rush is beastly.

Second only to the Falcon.

Mattock on my Turian Sentinel with ~55% recoil reduction, larger thermal clips, and an AR scope, coupled with a fast trigger finger is a straight death machine. Especially when I spam overload and score headshots. I could be wrong, but apart from the Falcon, I don't think any ARs have a higher DPS than someone with a Mattock and a very fast trigger finger.

[Kel Riever]

Assault Rifles are mostly not good. Certainly better if you level them, but in general, bad.

Falcon, because it is as non-AR as yoou can get. And its good.
Then, MAYBE Mattock. Because it is more like a single shot rifle.
Sabre is fun, but actually bad. Aim for the head. Use everything with it you've got, like weapon upgrades, powers, etc. I do love how models fly away from you.

If you want machine gun like shooty, a leveled Avenger or Phaeston. Recommend you use a Turian soldier with marksmanship for these.

There are a lot of bad ARs. Geth Pulse Rifle and Vindicator come to mind. Striker, also fun, and plenty bad. If fun is your thing, just go for it and don't worry. But if you want to do high damage, look for another weapon.

Hurricane is better than any of the AR's.

Yes, sadly it's often times more practical to use a heavy pistol (like a Carni) than an AR. I was also playing with someone from the group last night and they mentioned that suppressing fire doesn't really seem to suppress.

Much of the point of a high ROF weapon is to make the enemy duck for cover and pin them down. The enemy AI doesn't really seem to work that way though. Higher ROF doesn't really suppress more than lower ROF. Being able to stagger is pretty much the main way to buy yourself some time.

Whatever's lightest and doesn't mess with my cooldown.

I only play on Bronze, so take this with a bronze colored grain of salt: 

But the Phaseton with a scope and some sort of dmg mod works great with a bunch of classes if you want lots of headshot kills. If you zoom in and sort of hose the body of an enemy with bullets and at the last couple of secs before their red bar poots out you nick 'em in the face it counts as a headshot. It's really good for those players that drink beer and get sloppy as the waves go by

Falcon is the best, and there is nothing even remotely close to it.

Wrong. Striker does better overall dps, is less prone to ghost shots, and also does stagger to boot. The only advantage in a host based situation that the falcon has is a larger stagger radius and is more lenient on ammo usage, which becomes moot if you're the host and can afford to saturate an area.

Use the Striker in hip fire or covered-no-scope on elevated terrain with a geth engineer with the same amps you'd stick on a Falcon and your score will easily double. The Falcon has crowd stagger, which becomes redundant if you have strong enough amps to make the crowd dead in a much shorter time, and better ammo usage, which is also made redundant if you have packs or a small map, which lends itself to the Striker even better as you can saturate an enemy spawn with impunity.

I'm still looking for a good rifle to use on non-power-based classes, like my Soldiers. I have a Vindicator and Revenant, but the Vindicator's clip size feels too small and I can't get the hang of the Revenant. I also tried using the Falcon but that did absolutely nothing; I'm wondering if I was playing in a game with bad lag.

For power-based classes who like rifles but want to keep their cooldown as low as possible, then Avenger X is the only way to go.

Phaeston and Geth Pulse Rifle are my favorites, but if I could get my Revenant upgraded past level 2, I might go back to it.

I mod mine pretty much the same way you do.

[Kel Riever]

For fun, I would also try the Revenant for that 'machine gun' feel. Do whatever you can for stability though...it has some serious kick.

[Cutlass Jack]

Vindicator is the only AR I use with any regularity in multiplayer. I like it on my power use heavy engineer. The three round bursts are easy to handle and time nicely between power usage.

I do have a soft spot for the Revenant, but has nothing to do with how effective it is. I just find it fun, and love how ammo is never an issue. But I generally don't play classes that can make the best use of it. And it weighs too much for the ones I do play.

[Ronnie Blastoff]

Falcon/Striker- Crowd control, crowd debuff, set up crowd for power combo.
Revenant- Semi crowd control (the accuracy spread can be used for this), great damage/clip size
Saber- Great Assault/Sniper rifle hybrid
Mattock- Decent damage, Accurate fire
Vidicator- Broken because it does more damage than higher weight rifles? Good damage/acc

All other assault rifles are sub par compared to a Tempest. I don't even play with people who use the geth rifle. Even with Targeting VI-Marksman with headshot boost- APR ammo III- Warped with Rank 5 expose, rank 6 pierce, its COMPLETE TRASH on anything with armor. Anyone who says otherwise either aren't playing on gold or are to busy "having fun" to notice how TRASH the gun is.

[Micah3sixty]

What mods do you all use with the Saber? I generally go with EB and AP, but wonder if I should swap AP for Stabilizer.

[Kel Riever]

No need for stability on Saber, I think. AP seems fine to me, as well as extended barrel. You want each shot to really count. Saber is all about 'slosions and stagger. Extra magazine size could help, but just get to ammo crates and use a thermal clip in a pinch. And extra magazines just takes up a slot from another damage dealer.

I wouldn't recommend scope. Besides not needing it, how could that not hurt your face when you fired?

[BJshepard]

I think the best AR w/o any DLC's is the Mattock because it has a decent clip size, good damage, and great accuracy but one needs to keep getting as many head shots as possible with the Mattock or then you find yourself w/o ammo really quickly.

[NoReapers]

U got ballz son.

[EXTRACT10NP01NT]

Gotta love the Saber...I think its the most fun.

[Lauro Baptista]

I like Falcon.
