Gearheads of War

now on the diary at the front page there is a lot of complaining about the sniper active reload downing of Gears.

Well, i hate being dwned by it, and i rarely ever dwn someone with it, but i know why it is incorporated into the gameplay, and i totally support it being in the game. I have a couple of points as to way epic put the sniper active to dwn people

First point- The ARs for other guns are more powerful than the regualar bullets so why cant the sniper be

normally the lancer takes almost a full clip to bring someone down, but with ar it barely takes half a clip to dwn him. The sniper does a lot of damage almost gives you a full circle of damage when shot. So anymore damage from an active dwns you.

Second point- without Ar you couldnt dwn a guy period.

 without active  for sniper it would take two regular shots to down someone, but by teh time you get your second regular shot, the guy you were shotting at has either A. already escaped or B. his heath has already regenerated so either way you lose

third point- sniper defense

if you have a sniper rifle and someone charges you, and you dont have time to switch to another weapon the AR has the ability to save your life. Someone shotties you in ribs, but miraculously you survive. what are you going to do, sit there like a bitch and go, oh well all i have is a sniper and you already shot me once so  you deserve to finish me off, and im just going to sit here and take it  NO!! you whip out an AR and dwn his ass so you live. simple as that

Fourth point- Can be used to save other lives

a locust is chasing dom dwn the street of gridlock the locust dwns Dom, and is sprinting to finish him off, you dont have time to line up a headshot, becuase he'd kill Dom first, so you can use an AR to take him dwn, and let dom get up

Fifth point- Ar are pretty cheap and id rather prefer to pop someones head off, but sometimes you need it.

Sry for the rant, but AR can be useful, and i understand whys its i nthe game
