My questions this time around are:

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

"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)

Cheers!

1. Definately.
2. Also definately.
3. I generally like 'Infiltrator' weapons like snipers and pistols but my favourite is probably the Black Widow.

I know you guys won't be able to do this but I think it would be cool to have Weapon Camo's based off Faction styles like Ex-Cerberus would have the Cerberus Logo on weapons and maybe a Black or White Camo with Orange stripes?
Just an idea I would like, but it isn't needed.

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

The weapons themselves are many, yet their perfomance is so bad that you have to ignore most of them.
The gap between efficient weapons is so huge that 80% of the weapons are not worth using.
If you like a certain weapon but know it is inneficient you either have to lower the game difficulty or accept the fact that you are hindering yourself and your team. Feeling guilty for trying to have fun with a certain gun isn't fun.


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

Yes, most of the weapons that don't fit the criteria above can be used by almost any and all characters and always help them out greatly.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"

Addendum : Most of the guns need to be buffed in order to get people to use more weapons/different playstyles, which will in turn increase game replaybility.

[Stoner--9]

Yes.

Yes, SMG is a bit tough with the ULM issue. I would take Hornet + ULM as a 2nd weapon often if this was working correctly.

Graal Spike Thrower. Love the look and sound of the weapon + stagger on each shot. Just so much fun to play. Close 2nd is the Falcon.

[Ciam]

Yes.

Yes.

Scorpion, Paladin, Talon and Saber (Cerberus Harrier too I think but I need to get more levels to really like it).

EDIT: Buff more AR and fix the ULM on SMG please.

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

For the most part, yes. I miss a good assault rifle that's not an ultra-rare, though. 

My main problem with weapon choice in ME3 is that a lot of the weapons don't really give you any reason to use them. Rapid fire weapons in particular got the shaft between ME2 and 3, since they don't have any special effect against shields any more, and are poor against armour. And the shield gating mechanism means that the single-shot weapons (Claymore excepted) are less attractive.

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

Hm. Yes, but I'm not sure that's a good thing. Right now, some of the low-tier weapons don't really fill a niche at all after you've gotten the right high-tier weapons. I'd like to see all of the weapons have their use, even on Gold difficulty. If nothing else, make sure the low-tier weapons are light enough that they're attractive as a backup weapon.

"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.

Hard to say, since I tend to use very different weapons with different classes. I'd say the Talon wins the "most versatile" award, since it does a fair amount of damage, and with a scope mounted it can be very good for both close encounters and at range. Carnifex comes a close second, and with its lower weight it's more attractive on caster classes.

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
- Sniper rifles, shotguns and pistols seem to have a nice diversity to them. Plenty of choices that are viable on gold.
- SMGs and assault rifles there isn't really much working options. The hurricane is the go to SMG for people that have it unlocked. Otherwise there isn't much point to carrying an SMG when there's so many good heavy pistols that can keep cooldowns low.
As for assault rifles, the only good ones are the mattock, the harrier and possibly the sabre. The others just don't pack enough punch of keep you out of cover too long. Falcon and striker kinda deserve special mentions though since they're move for control and staggering than for actual damage dealing.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
Yes. Viper is a good example. Easy to level, lightweight and very good in the lower difficulties. Then as people get better they'll swap to black widows and valiants.

"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.

Indra (full auto sniper ), Talon, Mattock.

[Fade9wayz]

Yes

Scorpion (What? I know it's not the most powerful, but I have fun with it), Carnifex, Claymore. I suspect that I might like the Talon quite a bit, but it stubbornly refuses to come to mama.

[WiqidBritt]

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
I think the variety of weaponry is pretty good. But I feel like some of the more interesting weapons have some servere drawbacks that keep them from being used often.
Most rapid fire weapons do too little damage per shot to have any affect on armored units, and leave players exposed too long on higer difficulties.
The Incisor sniper rifle is a weapon I would like to use more often, but it does too little damage, too much recoil, and is nearly impossible to land all three shots on a moving target (with a controller at least). The weapon was created to deal with shield gates but it's pretty pointless when a widow can take out most enemies shields in one shot, and then the enemy themselves on the second shot.
I think increasing the speed of the bursts, removing the recoil (or just having recoil on the last shot), increasing the damage, and possibly increasing the time between bursts slightly.
Maybe have it do the same damage per 3-shot burst that a Valient does per shot, or close to it atleast.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
The Carnifex probably fills the most roles. It deals solid damage with headshots and is light enough for casters to carry around. Although its low rate of fire and relatively low ammo per clip makes me wary about "rookies" trying to make use of it.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"
It's so hard to pick favorites, but I guess the Carnifex is probably the one I've spent the most time with, mostly because I've spent more time with charactes that make the best use of it.
The weapon I use is largely dependant on the class I'm playing. As an Infiltrator, I'll usually use a sniper rifle (probably the Valient), unless it's the Geth Infiltrator, in which case I'll use the Plasma Shotgun. Adepts and Engineers will probably use the Carnifex, though on the Pheonix I've really liked using the Talon. My Turian Solider uses the Talon and Hurricane, and my Batarian Solider uses the Harrier.

[Deihjan]

Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?
No..but I don't have every single weapon yet.
"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)
As of right now, no, not really. Once more, I don't have all the weapons. I've got the Reegar and I honestly can't see the appeal. Maybe it's just me, because I hate shotguns because of the awful kick-back most of them have.
"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"
Personally, I prefer my M-99 saber, because I'm a sucker for assault rifles that pack a punch but are still easy to handle. It goes great with disruptor or cryo ammo. If I had to pick a different class of gun, I'd go with the Geth shotgun because it feels a lot like an assault rifle and it's amazing in MP and SP.
I tend to play engineer or sentinel ever since I got my GE and VS, because those two are beasts and the M-99 goes great on both classes.

[Drummernate]

- Yes there is a good range of weaponry. Although we DO need a Geth Heavy Pistol please!!!

-
Lows:
Scimitar
Incisor
Disciple
Locust
Eagle

Highs:
Claymore
Black Widow
Saber (Only if people are good shots)
Carnifex/Paladin
Hurricane

- My favorite weapon would have to be the Saber. I love the sound it makes, I love how powerful it is, and I love the way it looks.



I love these little quiz kinda things Derek! Do you pass them on to Eric Fagnan or something???

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

Since they have added the Harrier, yes.

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

For the most part, I don't have the hurricane, so I don't have any SMG's that I think are worth using. I don't know if the hurricane will be worth it's weight.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"

The Valient is the most fun sniper rifle to use, but I switch to the Black Widow or ditch SR's altogether for the Geth Plasma Shotgun when stuff gets real.

[obie191970]

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

Yes, until you get to Gold.  You can choose to play with anything through Silver and get away with it, but once you start playing Gold your options are a lot more limited as there is only a few viable viable weapons per class.

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

Yes, except for the Assault rifles.  I thought the Harrier would fill that void, but the ammo count is so ridiculously low that it isn't worth equiping in a Gold game.  I jumped into a Bronze over the weekend for the challenge with my level 10 Batarian soldier and Harrier and I was having to hit the ammo box at least once every round.  Can't imagine how bad it would be in Gold.  Otherwise, the gun rocks.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"

Hurricane.  By far.  Lightweight, versatile and melts people on Gold.  Slap an AP on it and you're stripping a Pyro in one clip.  Love it.  My AJ thanks you for it.

See my post above on my thoughts on that.  Hopefully you'll get it tonight and will be able to check it out.  And hopefully I'll be getting my III.

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
-Yes. Oh god the choices (no sarcasm, really)

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
-Now this is where the stuff start to fall apart IMHO. If you don't have level X weapons most of them suck. Harrier, Javelin, both Widows, Graal, Claymore, Reegar, Krysae, GPS etc. are on the mow down the mobs and bosses level, but the "lower level" weapons don't go good with Level I status, and even X the only good thing is weight. And lets be blunt, Harrier is the only AR in the game worth equipping as is Hurricane the only SMG.

"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.
-I just love Javelin, Claymore and Harrier

[Gwenaith]

Yes
Yes

I use pretty much every weapon, each with a particular class/species and they sort of hand-in-hand define that character for me, yes I do role play the mp. Some I've skipped on primarily due to weight or capacity (javelin, claymore, crusader) or they're too specialized for everyday use (scorpion (don't have it but would fall here), kishock, falcon) although those I may use for fun occasionally.

Most seem to fill a niche well, the one that really doesn't is the incisor, it should fit between the indra and the viper, and statistically it does. In practice however it doesn't. The three shot burst you get should be what you use rather than trying to achieve indra levels of suppressive fire. I'd like to see the three shots having indra-like recoil and then a large recoil similar to the single shot varieties. Perhaps then a per shot damage boost to adjust for the lost practical rate of fire. To me the incisor doesn't work as intended and as such doesn't fit the niche it should.

Favourite; saber's fun on my GE, revenant+AP+marksmen+guardian= TF2 Heavy maniacal laughter

[xIREDEEMEDIx]

yes,
yes

Cerberus Harrier, and M98 Widow

[Cyan-Glow]

1) Yes the range is excellent!

2) The carnifex pistol is perhaps the most versatile and useful for cater classes; it can go from functioning like a side arm to a mini sniper rifle with a scope upgrade mainly due to damage and accuracy. The other versitile weapon is the Raptor; use it like a sniper or a semi automatic shooting from the hip (love the no damage reduction!) it's always fun on silver, although not very viable on gold. I do think assault rifles are not powerful enough, or are brought down by low clip size.

3) The N7 Valiant is my favorite sniper; extremely fast reload means you don't have to play infiltrator to enjoy headshotting enemies across the map! The damage is close to the black Widow, but it weighs less and it just looks and sounds cool when fired. Equipped on my Turian Soldier it's a force to be reckoned with.

My other current favorite is the reeger; it's absolutely ridiculous how much damage it can throw against an enemy, and especially equipped on a Vorcha soldier with regeneration it becomes a type of "God Mode".

[Variasaber]

Yes
Yes

Favorite weapon (MP): Talon  
Favorite weapon (SP): Scorpion  

Other guns that I particularly like: Phalanx, Valiant, Harrier, Viper, and Hornet.

[nuyo]

We can use better assault rifles.

[Ubergrog]

I don't mean to double post, but I feel that solving the problem of 'useful' items is not that hard.

Already established in the game are several weapons not yet put into multiplayer. To fill in the last slot for UR AR, the Particle Rifle would be fantastic, and the Argus would fit nicely into the rare section. The Valkyrie should be added to the N7 promo weapons for weekend missions.

The Raider shotgun should be the next UR shotgun. A fantastic (if huge) weapon and perfectly suited for the task.

SMG's are tricky. How do you make a UR SMG? It needs to stand out somehow, and to be frank, making it too strong would render the AR's useless (again). Instead of going raw power, try going raw utility. Perhaps an Arc SMG that functions like the old Arc Projector, holding down the trigger causes a chain of lightning to arc between nearby enemies for a steady string of damage.

[ap351]

Yes .

Yes.

Carnifex, Black Widow , and Harrier ( needs more ammo though ).

[Fyurian2]

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

As far as the number of weapons go, yes.
Within each category of weapons though, I feel that SMGs could do with maybe one or two more to choose from.

"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)

Yes, but handguns (except N7 Eagle) are certainly a more dominant force as they're able to cover a much wider range of situations than other weapons due to their "weight-to-damage" ratio when compared to weapons of other categories.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"

I don't have a specific weapon as a favourite. I tend to rotate weapons according to class and class specific setup
I do like using ARs, but feel that most of the automatic weapons (ARs and SMGs) are too heavily reliant upon sustained fire, as opposed to semi-automatic and single shot weapons (I don't have a Harrier at this point, so I can't give an opinion on it beyond saying that it shouldn't be an Ultra-Rare).
With the exceptions of the Revenant and N7 Hurricane, I'd say that the automatic weapons are too inefficient when compared to the burst, semi-automatic and single-shot weapons, in that order.
