Why is the plasma repeater pretty much useless?
Ok so I go to play a game of invasion a guy steals my NR I don't betray for precisions I like warrior because I like evade to dodge all this grenade spam. I start shooting this guy with the plasma repeater all the bullets are hitting him he turns around and easily owns me with the AR in my opinion the plasma repeater seems like one of the most useless weapons and should be of equal power to the AR.
Edit: The bloom is obviously bigger and faster which of course gives an advantage to the AR

To be honest, I see the Repeater to be the Automatic Weapons equivalent to the Grenade Launcher and other Heavy Weapons. It takes a little while to get the knack of it, but once you get there, you can begin to slaughter other people with it.

I will always swtich from the assult rifle to the Plasma Repeater. Its better you never have to reload. (Cool down yah but not reload) There is a guy who has the Plasma Repeater as his #1 Tool Of Destruction in comepetive.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Dreezy12 You can get kills with the Repeater, many if you try but that doesn't change the fact that it's practically useless. You can shoot at a moving target with an AR and with good accuracy get a kill. Its Covie counterpart is the Repeater and your opponent would have to be a retard to die from full shields to death by a Repeater. Also the Repeater is a counter-intuitive weapon. How the hell does a weapon with roughly the same dealing damage as an AR but with severe bloom shoot [i]less[/i] as you hold the trigger? You up accuracy but now less shots come out so now it's [i]weaker[/i]? The Repeater should be slightly stronger than the AR but it's terrible initial accuracy be a tradeoff. With out a grenade or a Plasma Pistol, you can't always effectively get a kill with it to save your life. Every other weapon is useful in it's own way in tricky situations, but not this gun. There's no defending this weapon.[/quote]The only time I really ever die with full shield from a plasma repeater is when I get double teamed or the guy shoots me than throws a cheap easy to aim plamsa.

You are not useing it right.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Big Boy1229 Technobrats might want to have a word with you about the Plasma Repeater.[/quote] Awww you beat me to it! anyway, I agree with the OP, the plasma reapeater needs some sort of improvement.

You need to lead your shots with the repeater... It even shows you where to aim ahead so try watching your hud for a split second.

I dunno about you, but on Campaign, I still pick up the good 'ol Plasma Rifle. Nothing against the Repeater, but I like the Rifle better, personally.

Actually I once got very far in a game of Elite Slayer using the PR. I believe we won or got relatively close.

I suck HORRIBLY with the gun, I don't know if it is bad, but I certainly know I can't use it. Oh, and to clear something up, average K/D is 1.28. Because people can get a K/D above 2, whereas they cannot have a K/D below 0. (I refered to halocharts for exact number)

Mainly because the AR is superior with its hit scan capabilities.

Every Elite that uses a plasma repeater ends up dying in Firefight, every single one.

Repeater is WAY better than the AR.
