1. Yes. There is a wide variance from newb weapons and really bad weapons that rock when you don't have anything better to OMG.
2. Not exactly... I'd like a weapon for every type for every race. The preponderance of weapons in MP and SP are Human weapons, and I feel like there has to be more from the other species in the galaxy that we just haven't seen yet.
3. Viper/Widow, Saber/Falcon, Geth Plasma SMG/Hurricane, Graal/Evicerator, Talon/Eagle

[ShaggyWolf]

1- Yes
2-Yes
3- Mattock, Talon, and Hornet.

I think there are alot of weapons, but could be a better usable range. Some weapons are just not effective. I think AR's (atleast full auto ones) should hit harder since they require the user to be out of cover (exposed) longer.

SMG weight should be reduced across the board and get rid of ULM. The ULM mod doesn't work properly anyway. I don't think I've seen anyone use an SMG as main weapon except newbies.

My favorites: Indra (closest to what an AR should be), feels cool on Xbox too (vib).
Scorpion for the sheer fun of it.
Phalanx has good rof and punch plus lightweight...great started weapon for casters.

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
- I do think there is a wide range to choose from but i still think the Assault rifles are out of balance for the most part while the new harrier is almost perfect with recoil, damage, accuracy, etc but compared to most of the other AR's which are lack luster and very few are worth using.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
(e.g. - From low: "Give this weapon to the rookie so he doesn't hurt him/herself or anyone else for that matter" to High: "This weapon makes things go away just by its mere presence on the battlefield", and everything in between)
- I do feel there is a weapon that works better for everyone

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favorite weapon overall?" I am not asking which you think is the "best", only which one do you simply like to play with most of all.
- I love the harrier AR. Its good balance, makes my soldier class's actually fun to play on gold games, I use it on my engineer and geth infiltrator and I enjoy it just as much, finally a good AR that is good in the hands of multiple class's not just turians. Love marksmen and adrenaline rush with the harrier as well. The other AR's just didn't live up to how assault rifles should be and ether are to heavy or didnt pack enough of a punch to be good on gold games.

Cheers!

Do you feel there's a good range of weaponry to choose from?
For the most part yes. I feel like the SMG class is underpowered. I feel like I rarely see them used in most games. No matter which one I choose, I feel like I'm not playing very effective. The only exception would be the Hurricane. But even then, the recoil is difficult to manage without stabilization assitance.

Do you feel there's a weapon that fills every niche?
Sure, I think there's a good balance of advantages and disadvantages to most weapons to go with play style and skill level.

Favourite weapon overall?
I feel like I used the Carnifex X the most. It's feels like the most balanced weapon and I like using class powers with low cool down. It's gotten to the point where I've gotten bored using the same old gun and will go to other weapons but with less satisfaction.

 "Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
Yes, there's a rather good range of weapons to choose from.  Of course, there is never any harm in having too many to choose from, as each seems to play differently. (Though, there are some that seem to share a role)

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
There are a good number of weapons that fill various niches, but that being said, there are always more than can be created to add alternatives to certain roles.  Part of the issue is, that while some roles have a multitude of weapons that suit it, there are others that have only one option.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"
The Revenant.  Being a fan of light machineguns, and sustained cover fire, I find this to be my "Go-To" rifle.  Though, I wouldn't really call it a light machinegun, but as of now, it's close enough for me.  




Edit:  After reading through most of the posts...  I think I'm the only **** who loves the Revenant.  :'(

[Damather]

If It weren't for the encumbrance, I would use the Graal on all my characters

And now to answer the questions:
"Range of weaponry"
I think there is a gun for every player out there, so plenty of choice. Some guns could use a little loving though (vindicator, incisor.)

"Weapon that fills every niche"
I'd say the Graal, with the right upgrades you can use it for sniping, closed quarters and everything in between."

"Favourite weapon?"
The Graal no doubt, sadly it takes your cooldown down quite a bit even at high levels.

[cronshaw]

I think there needs to be more full auto weapons that are good choices for gold. The hurricane is good; the harrier is good; The revenant is okay; the rest kinda suck. Pistols, shotguns and snipers are too heavily represented in gold, there needs to be a wider variety of weapon choices that are really good choices on gold. I try to cycle through the weapons and try weapons out I haven't used in a while. Right now i've been using the wraith a lot. I think it is a nice alternative to the claymore, especially for people who don't reload cancel and it is light enough to use on casters. Some weapons I think are fun to use but a little too niche-y are the crusader, the scorpion, the kishok and the revenant. Final thought, I really wish the Paladin didn't make the exact same noise as the carnifex.

[AbhijitSM]

Foe Q1 : There is a wide variety of weapons in each category (assualt rifles,shotguns) but i would like to see a decent SMG added. Currently the hurricane is the only one & that is a promo item so a rare SMG which does decent damage & an be carried as a secondary.
I could have said the same about the assualt rifle category but the revenant is decent & with the addition of the harrier the category got better.

For Q2 : Yes

For Q3 : Difficult question to answer as i use many guns. I use the revenant, talon,scorpion,indra,black widow,claymore,krysae. If i have to choose just one among the above i will go with the Black Widow.

[DSxCallOfBooty-]

1) Yes. There's a pretty good variety of weapons thus far, although there's certainly room for improvement. I'd like to see the Valkryie, Raider, Argus, Chakram Launcher, and Particle Beam (I think that's what it's called? I mean the weapon from From Ashes). I'd like to see weapons with a distinctly Asari, Vorcha, or Reaper style to them as well.

2) Weapon balance is pretty poor in this game, unfortunately. The variety of roles that weapons fill is nice, but some weapons are just simply inferior to others. Take the Incisor for example, it's nearly incapable of killing anything because of it's tremendous recoil. It's only really usable when held by the Turian Soldier, because of the recoil decrease offered by Marksman. Many other weapons are like this too, and a lot of work needs to be done to make sure that players have as many options as possible available to them.

3) My favorite weapon is the Graal, because it has a light enough weight to be used on many classes, and does plenty of damage, especially on headshots. And it sounds cool.

[Kyerea]

Yes

Yes

My two favorite weapons ('cause I love both of them equally) are the Cerberus Harrier and Javelin.

[DoubleHell]

1) Yes, there is a good range of weapons - but most might as not be there since they are not worth using relative to the stand out weapons.

2) Yes, but not extensively. There are probably two, or three at most, weapons that can be used effectively at each level.

3) Favourite weapon overall really depends on which class/race I'm using - but in no particular order it woudl be:

Valiant, Harrier, Carnifex

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"

Yes, although certain weapon classes are at a substantial disadvantage in Gold, particularly the SMGs (ULM broken, switching to sidearm takes so long as to be pointless, armor gate w/o shield stripping bonus, lots of out of cover time to do damage) and ARs (low damage and long exposure w/o suppression, stagger or other benefits).

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
(e.g. - From low: "Give this weapon to the rookie so he doesn't hurt him/herself or anyone else for that matter" to High: "This weapon makes things go away just by its mere presence on the battlefield", and everything in between)

Yeah, w/ the caveat of the aforementioned. I think ARs would be easy to "fix" and make more useful because the Harrier/Striker do it - w/ a high % of stagger, the ARs become guns that are ideal for heavy-hitting CC.  SMGs are a harder pickle. Shield multiplier damage/fix ULM/faster sidearm switching? Not everything can be a Hurricane, but the GethSMG and Locust are amongst the most useless guns in the game. (although the Eagle probably remains the worst for its rarity)

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?" I am not asking which you think is the "best", only which one do you simply like to play with most of all.

There are a bunch of guns I quite enjoy, probably the Claymore the most. It has a great mix of requiring a fair amount of skill to use efficiently/safely, but rewarding w/ hilarious damage if you get it right.  The Hurricane is also tons of fun for blasting away/run and gunning, and I finally recently got the Harrier, which is similar but even better (ammo capacity excepted).

[Hanko21]

1. Yes
2.Yes

3. These are the weapons I equally like using on gold since I don't play on bronze/silver anymore.

Indra
vindicator
saber
hurricane
claymore
geth p. shotgun
talon

[codename2o2]

Aside from not having a gun that shoots thresher maws, yes

*Points at Carnifex*

Valiant.

As an aside: Most of the assault rifles other than the cerb harrier and saber are consistently outclassed by heavy pistols. SMG's are non-existant as main weapons other than the Hurricane and maybe Tempest. Incisor is still pretty bad. The katana has no real purpose anymore. Just a few issues I can name off the top of my head concerning weapons.

[Immortal Strife]

1. There is a wide range of weapons but, 1/3 of them are useless IMO.

2. Three weapons come to mind that devestate all enemies: the Krysae, the Reager, and the Claymore. The weapon that fits every niche is the Krysae.

3. My favorite weapons is the Black Widow.

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"

Yes.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"

There are a lot of weapons that work well with each class' abilities but one area that needs attention are SMGs. The Hornet and the Hurricane are good, but assault rifles like the Vindicator and Avenger deal roughly the same damage and are a lot lighter than the SMGs. Ultralight Materials should fix this issue, but currently the mod only works with the Geth Plasma SMG.

3. Striker, Eviscerator, Vindicator

I want an SMG that weighs nothing has a 300 round clip with 1000 spare ammo and kills eveyrhting in shot

all kidding aside

1) Yes, some are useless but what about 40 weapons or so that'll happen. overall there is a very nice variaty of weapons.
2) yes, I never feel like I don't have a weapon that'll work for my build

3) Sniper - BW, AR - Harrier, SMG Hurricane, Shotgun - reegar, HP - Carnifex
Overall I love the black widow

[Anubis_TPF]

I think there is a good range to choose from, and there may even be a bit more redundancy than is necessary.

I think the variety covers all the niche and levels well, except for rapid fire weapons.  I don't have the Harrier yet, but all the others are next to useless compared to the semi-automatic counterparts.  The Geth Plasma Rifle for example has fantastic accuracy and a respectable weight, but why use it when a whole clip does about the same damage as four or five rounds from the Phalanx, which is just as accurate and weighs less.  Rapid fire assault rifles are far too hard to find a place for.  SMGs are even worse.  The Geth Plasma SMG works because it weighs nothing, and you might as well pack it.  The Hurricane actually does good damage as close to mid range, so it's handy.  All the others are very hard to find motivation to carry.

My personal favorites are the Black Widow and Raptor for snipers, Mattock for AR, Hurricane for SMG, Geth Plasma Shotgun and Reegar Carbine for shotguns, and the Phalanx and Carnifex for pistols.

Indra is my favorite sniper, Harrier is my favorite AR, and the Carnifex is my favorite weapon for all my casters. In single player, the Valiant is my favorite weapon overall, but I don't have it for MP yet.

There is a good range, some weapons types are under represented or represented in a way that is not as effective compared to the rest of the weapons. 

The weapon class that needs the most attention right now is the SMG.
The only benefit of using them is the light weight. However, an Avenger or a carnifex is light enough for caster classes and pack more punch than all of the smg's. In addition, the avenger/carnifex is not as restricted as the SMG's at ranged engagements. 

This issue could be resolved by adding additional modifications to the SMG classes. For example, a modification that increases the rate of fire, or an armor piercing mod that increases weight and stability 

Of course, seeing even more variety in the weaponry would also be nice. I'd personally love to see a fully automatic combat shotgun or a burst-fire assault rifle with high rate of fire (unlike the vindicator)

Derek Hollan wrote... "Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"

  

There are definitely lots of weapons populating both polar ends of the spectrum but very few intermediate weapons. 

Derek Hollan wrote... "With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?" 

I am a big fan of the Krishock harppoon gun, and similar flechette based weapons. Too bad they are only usable when hosting due to the lag :/ 

You have trouble using the Kishock when not hosting the game?  Weird.  I know that the Kishock isn't a hit-scan weapon and therefore would suffer from latency issues but I've never noticed a problem with it.

[Megakoresh]

Most definitely great arsenal.

SMGs are useless. Every single one of them is inferior to other weapon types.
There is 1-2 weapons that are worth playing on Gold. Others are objectively worse. E.g. Javelin is Worse than Widow in every respect. Arsenal is huge, but suffers from many weapons being hugely underpowered and worse than others.

My favourite weapon in the game is Wrath; but Revenant on Turian Soldier feels sooooo good. I love the BULLETSTORM.

1) Yes

2) Yes there is a weapon for every niche, but there are some guns that are so versatile and good in every situation that they make the niche weapons largely irrelevant.

3) The Talon is my favorite. Others that I like a lot (in no particular order) are Valiant, Saber, Claymore, and Harrier.

[Lima54]

Yes.

Yes, but most of the full auto weapons do little damage and leave you too much time exposed to enemy fire.

I like the Mattock, Falcon, Harrier (or I would, if I had it), Carnifex (and Paladin, by extension - still low level), Talon, Geth Plasma Shotgun, Widow, Valiant, Krysae, Hurricane... but my favorite is the allmighty Claymore.
