Mostly yes
Yes
Hurricane, Talon, Indra

[Star fury]

1. Yes. But there is only one good assault rifle - Harrier and it's ultra-rare. This is the only caveat.
2. Yes.
3. Paladin.I don't mind making it not so heavy, now it weighs like AR or shotgun.

[Prince Bubblegeth]

Yes and Yes.Valiant.

/and Carnifex and Talon and Hurricane and Harrier

[sehrpalu]

1. yes, theres plenty of weapons to choose from, the problem is that a large amount of them are terrible compared to the rest.

2. yes, but as i said some are not very good at all, thus leaving some of the "niches" empty.

3. Probably the Cerberus Harrier, since its the only Fully Automatic weapon(besides the N7 Hurricane) that actually does damage.

[Frankie Muniz]

Also, in case you're wondering, I think there are PLENTY of weapons with exploding ammo. So please, no more of those. Maybe more weapons that are mixes, like the Talon and Indra. Love those kinds of guns.

[Kenshen]

Harrier is a nice AR but it eats through ammo like candy. I have found I end up using my pistol more unless I am parked near a ammo box.

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

Yes - but it's not just about the weapons but which powers they "work" with, their weight and so on...


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

Yes - there's even the Reegar for shields/barriers now; there aren't that many weapons that are never going to be used (Incisor and Locust maybe).


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

Depends on the class but as I'm often QFI, the Valiant.

Otherwise, the Phalanx on power-spamming classes (or as a secondary for slotting Guardians) - that's probably the weapon I have equipped on most characters.

Graal on heavier classes and the Scorpion, for the sheer 'splodey goodness, on the MQE.

[molecularman]

Yeah

Not really

Claymore

[Permafrost27]

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
Yes. I think your options, and therefore variety, is limited when playing on gold- assuming you want to remain effective. But overall I'm not disapointed in the selection and varying functionality and 'feel' of the armory.

I wish there was more emphasis on high skill / high reward (replacement skill with effort / aiming if the word is too loaded for you). What I mean by this is, the Widow is an excellent example. Yes it does great damage, but if you land a headshot, or even a solid hit on a moving target- you deserve to have seriously damaged it. The opposite of this is of course the GPS / Krysae. But I digress, not looking for trouble here. And of course I'm likely in the minority.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
Just about. There's a bit more you could add, but I definetly enjoy the different playstyle and looking forward to that. Like "today I'm gonna roll scorpion for a bit", totally different than your generic auto rifle or 5 round pistol.

"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.

Hands down the Harrier, but Talon is a close second

[N0X Spirit]

Yes but i would like to see some more SMGs but i guess its hard to do something different if thers already some 3 shoot smgs and the geth smg

Yes

Talon, i use it on almost every class xD when i dont i use Wraith and/or Harrier

1.yes

3.Claymore

[Ninefingers79]

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

Yes. Though I still think the game needs a fully automatic shotgun!

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

Yes, there are even some that fill no niche (i.e. Shuriken, Katana).

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

The Eviscerator is my overall favorite. Good weight/damage ratio, easy to get to X, looks killer and has a very satisfying sound when fired. Other favorites include the Viper (post-buff), Hurricane and Talon.

[RainyDayLover]

Yes.
Yes.
Claymore.

[Shampoohorn]

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

Yes.  Although there are some weapons that seem to fall short in their intended role, making the actual range of weaponry a bit small than the way weapon descriptions would imply.  Examples are the Incisor and the Viper, although I may be tainted by their utility in ME2.

Assualt rifles are improving and have good diversity within the class and fill good roles compared to other classes.

SMGs lack in-class diversity.  While the hornet is clearly different, the Hurricane clearly just a better Tempest/Locust (phaeston, avenger, GPR.  The ULM bug compounds this.  And the lady quarians really suffer as a result.  They should get damage instead of weight bonus at least.

I like the niche weapons.  However, I would argue that the weapons I would put in your "High" category are problems (Reegar, Krysae) because they don't fit into a single niche but rather do just about everthing well.

I dislike how pistols can be scoped to compete with and occasionally outperform sniper rifles.  I wish you guys had put a laser sight on them instead or reduced the scope zoom on them more.  This would give snipers distinction as having the best zoom

I put the Claymore and Falcon on the most diverse set of characters.

Favorite is probably the Scorpion.  I recently discovered that I can pepper the ground around phantoms and then melee them into oblivion.  The delayed explosions are very effective as interupting the phantoms during their sword strikes when I would otherwise be ripe for the stabbing.

[Adhok42]

Uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh.... oh boy...

....Derek I really don't know how to say this but if you have to ask question number 2, we have a problem. I'll get back to it.

There's certainly a massive Quantity of weapons to select from but just from how certain "Exotic" weapons handle, Quality is extremely subjective, more on that on question 2. It's not ME level for sure but it feels more like you tried to balance the Quantity from ME with the Quality from ME2. It's not bad but just based on the way some weapons handle, spring cleaning would involved taking a lot of these weapons off the rack and selling them to a Cop Shop because I don't need them.

Now for the elephant in the room.

The problem with the more exotic weapons is that sure, they're cool and all but they really require specific situations to come up and if you don't get that situation then you ether need to put effort into creating that situation which people don't want to do, they want to be entertained without work, or you're just S.O.L. Whereas the basic utility weapon may be able to handle just about everything equally.

The whole "Congratulations, you've proven your worth and can now use this next weapon which is even better/exotic!" is certainly a fantastic idea for SP but for multiplayer... not so much. Already you can see where people are getting judged based on their weapon loadouts and kicked for bringing "substandard armaments". You can also see where people are complaining about why Weapon X isn't as good as Weapon Y and the reason being that Weapon X is for the beginners while Y is for those who've logged 500 kills with X just won't cut it for people who want things now and want X to be just as good as Y without realizing that Y is only good for certain situations or that Y is just simply X with better stats. In even rares cases they'll compare it to Weapon A which is a separate weapon class altogether to be used in a different situation.

They want everything to be Vanilla but at the same time they want Variety. Paradox. A sad no-win for you poor Devs.

You certainly try to fill those voids but then your efforts are wasted when people want you to take it back. The Krysae is a perfect example.

I guess I would have to say that my favorite weapons because I use them across multiple characters are the Mantis and the Phaeson. The Mantis here in 3 I have come to enjoy and refuse to let go of. Three of my Squad use it. The Phaeson is a reliable upgrade to the Avenger and when I tried to find another weapon I liked in the AR's compared it, I found I keep switching back. 2 Squadies use it.

[Merchant2006]

Yes

Yes

I can't say I have a favourite, it depends on what I'm playing as but the ones I have a lot of fun with is the Claymore, Reegar, Krysae, Hurricane, Harrier... and the list goes on heh.

[G. P. Burdell]

The only kind of qualm I have with the weapons lies more in the armor mechanic. I get what you are trying to do (or at least I think I do) making some weapons like snipers, heavy pistols, you know high damage per round, slow fire rate weapons good for taking down bosses while others such as smgs and most assault rifles are more flexible and better for taking down basic enemies. And of course you have your middle of the road guns like the shotguns and heavy assault rifles.

The problem is that weapons like the claymore, black widow, gps, and others that have been listed as favorites, are very good at taking on big and small enemies without sacrificing anything.

So yeah my tempest will do just fine against an assault trooper or centurion but will struggle against armor, and my widow will take down that atlas's armor fast but still can't one shot centurians and that's fine, each has a role. But why would I use either when I can pick up the gps which ignores armor and be the best at both?

So basically if smgs are going to be the worst choice against armor they should be the best choice for something else, and vice versa for sniper rifles. Ideally each gun would fall somewhere along a linear spectrum between basic troopers and heavy armor.

Basic enemies __________________ Both _______________________Heavies
I=============I===========I============I===========I
SMGs __________ ARs _________ Shotguns____________ HPs_________ Snipers

Something like that. Of course there would be overlap as each weapon in each category would be different but that would be the general rule.

"Do you feel there is a good range of weaponry to choose from?"
Definately. I'm still discovering new weapons as I usually wait till I reach at least level V before I give them a fair go.
Example: I just discovered I love the Talon.

"Do you feel there is a weapon that fills every niche and level?"
The Mattock is the one that jumps to mind. It was probably my first favorite gun as I got it in the demo. Shoots as fast as you can pull the trigger -- super-accurate -- any range -- decent power.

"With the above questions in mind, which is your favourite weapon overall?"
Valiant with piercing mod -- so fun

[Credit2team]

1) yes, although i wouldn't mind new guns.

2) I'm still insearch for  a powerful full automatic assualt rifle.  The revenant is close but its seems to weak and hard to control (the striker also for the same reasons) the harrier is definately powerful but it runs out of ammo too quickly. Currently the hurricane outperforms all ARs. We need a huricane-like AR, with plently of ammo, stopping power and a high rate of fire. Make it as heavy as you want

3) I love the phalanx not because of its damage (which is mediocre) but how easy it is to use and how it fits every situation. The raptor is also good for the same reasons.

The most fun weapon to use is the scorpion, it takes some practice on how to use it effectively but the blue glowing balls of explosion make this gun amazing fun.

My questions this time around are:

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

Yes and no. There exists a large enough number of weapons, but the majority are simply not worth using, which restricts the range considerably. This is being addressed somewhat with regular balance changes, but not particularly quickly. The majority of Assault Rifles and SMGs lie unused, and they offer little variety to the gameplay gathering dust in the weapon locker.

Additionally, many weapons are simply unremarkable. By this I don't mean that they perform poorly, just many are...well, just guns. Guns with futuristic models and interesting flavour text, but guns nontheless. Some break the mold in exciting ways - the Scorpion with its little proximity mines, the Reagar spewing its electric fire - but these are too few in number, at least in my opinion, when compared to the number of guns that simply rattle off bullets. It doesn't help that several of the mold-breaking weapons perform too poorly to offer what little variety they otherwise might; the Striker, the Kishock, the Incisor, to name a few.

Lastly, all of the weapons are simply weapons. They're all designed to kill enemies and nothing more. It sounds like such a silly complaint, but so much variety could be added if there were weapons for helping allies rather than hurting enemies, or even weapons that hinder, debuff or weaken enemies.

That, I understand, will never happen; it suits a game with more tactical depth than ME3's MP. Do not mistake this for a criticism of ME3's MP - it is what it is, and I enjoy it for what it is - but even the classes are centred around killing enemies, and nothing more. There are no true support classes, no real tanks or medics or debuffers or whatever else you care to name. Everything must kill enemies, and if it does not do that so well, it is not a good class. But that's going off topic.

"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)

Few weapons in this game can truly and objectively be said to demand more skill to use than any other, save the Geth Plasma Shotgun and Krysae offering exceptional results for minimal skill. On the other end of the spectrum, there's the Kishock, which demands practice and patience, and rewards you with nothing, and less so, the Revenant, which sprays its bullets at nothing in particular while kicking like a mule and doing little to justify its eratic behaviour. This is not a comprehensive list, of course, but the pattern is there, and it's amusing; guns that are simple to use are the most powerful, regardless of skill. Those that demand expertise will seldom reward it.

"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 loved the Kishock, before you party-poopers wonderful people went and "fixed" it. I've yet to find a weapon I like as much, but I'm enjoying the Harrier. Automatic weapons that are actually worth using have been absent from the game for far too long - or from my game, at least, since I haven't been graced by the presence of the Hurricane - so it's a nice change.

[OneTrueShot]

At the moment, my favourite weapon is...Probably the Claymore.

[Pr0d1gy316]

It really depends on what I am playing. I agree that more smgs need to be put on the level the hurricane was and make ulm work. The eagle could use another 10% to be where it should be, but my favorite guns to play with are the hornet and if I'm setting up tech bursts the krysae

I feel that there is but, the range is undercut by the ineffectiveness of many of the weapons. For example, once you get the rarest of guns, you have no reason to use any of the more diverse or weaker ones.

The Black Widow is my gun of choice, as in the hands of my infiltrator, I am able to eliminate any enemy quickly and efficiently. It has 3 shots, and is very forgiving to those moments when a Banshee pops up. As for other classes, the Geth Plasma Shotgun satisfies every need of nearly any character. It simply is a good gun, and with the charge feature, it can adjust to the more difficult enemies as they come.

Of them all however, the Black Widow is my favorite. With it, I can go solo, or be an excellent supplement to the team. There is no other weapon I would pick if I truly had to have just one.
