When I first saw Pulse Rifles, I thought they would be a happy medium between Auto Rifles and Scout Rifles. Unfortunately, They were they were not. Pulse Rifles have, often times, worse impact than Auto Rifles, which is sad. They could have been so much more than what they are. They should be a happy medium between Auto Rifles and Scout Rifles, and should have more impact than they currently have. Some Pulse Rifles have high enough impact, but too low of a rate of fire for them to be useful Right now they are, in most cases, low impact, unreliable weapons that few people uses.

I have a pulse rifle I had been using because I thought it was good then I picked up a scout rifle and found out what killing an enemy in under 5 seconds felt like.

They need to balance them taking into account the gap between the bursts so their impact per second is on par with the other auto weapons.

Agreed

Edited by LONE RONIN2012: 12/22/2014 10:14:23 AMPvP yes they are, but the main problem is the poor map design that strongly favors ARs and other close range weapons. PvE nope not really. I put Strange Suspect to good use many a PvE games, Strikes, and Weeklys. I would still use it in higher Daily games if Bungie would let me bless it with higher attack values.

I had a good vanguard legendary pulse rifle but once I hit level 30 it became useless. They certainly need to be a little bit more powerful.

Edited by eternal_napalm: 12/22/2014 9:53:05 AMI can agree with this. I used to use them a lot until I realized I was only handicapping myself. Being a Battlefielder it's easy to use auto-rifles at long range effectively, and it would be even easier without aim assist. The only advantage they have over auto rifles is long range accuracy.

i agree totally with this

Edited by Vengeful Cow25: 12/22/2014 4:04:28 AMI don't know. Pulse rifles are actually my favorite weapons. Maybe it's just because I have good aim, but as long as I land head shots, I can drop people in three bursts. But a buff would always be appreciated :)

Pulse rifle idea= great... Pulse rifle reality= not great...

Totally agree
