Does any1 agree with me that the ACR with thermal is a decent gun..all my friends at skl criticise me about using it..i need some supporters! lol

GhostHands

I doubt you will find many thermal supporters on the forum, but I believe that the ACR is better naked or with a silencer. I only use it on SnD and because it has decent irons, using thermal seems pointless. Personally think thermal should be completely removed from the game.

Thermal does make it easier for your guide dog to point out targets.

Thermal works for sniping. The zoom on your AR screws you for multiple/fast moving medium range targets and long range for snipers that can kill you in 1 shot.

Don't silence it, and always use SP with it.

Thermal....never tried it on anything but a sniper rifle. I wouldn't recommend it.

If I were you I'd put FMJ on the ACR. Its iron sight is good and a silencer weakens an already weak gun.

A...... Eh, I dunno.

Thermal makes hard-scoping easier. Just as SoH Pro makes quick-scoping easier.

I actually do worse with thermal on my sniper. Fact is, Cold-Blooded people are very hard to make out on certain maps. And I tend to struggle with the bigger aim reticule.

Nope. no thermal support here.

Hardly a sissy for thermal scoping an sniper. Probably clinically stupid, but if anything I respect them for their bravery. Anyone who's going to enter a game with the equivalent of a huge handicap and roughly the active neuron count of a doorknob is worthy of respect.

Personally, I despise the thermal. It nearly completely stops quickscopes and makes hardscopes harder than they would be otherwise. If you need help seeing people through a sniper scope, turn your brightness and contrast up, and use your eyes a bit more. It also makes cover much harder to pick out and decide where to aim. It's a horrible attachment and should be treated as such.

Alphabuster187

At least we agree on everything else.

Yup! Hard not to.

WHITE_BOLT

I agree it can be useful. Maybe not the most useful in most situations but on Skidrow when aiming down that one hall way on the upstairs part of the building, near the garbage can, not sure how to explain it, hopefully you know what I mean, but there ACR with thermal would come in handy. As well guns with no recoil can handle the thermal because thermal I find adds recoil, but a gun with no recoil will be pretty much straight shots or maybe a bit of recoil but nothing you cannot handle. I have seen people use this combination and it rapes. Especially on the example I tried to explain above.

No, it isn't.

ACR with Thermal works extremely well for long range since the recoil is purely visual and the gun still stays on target. I've used it numerous times in Wasteland to counter snipe and it's extremely effective for narrow chokepoints.

Thermal is just ass.

On snipers, you get a thick reticule, and on bright maps, it's impossible to see.

On everything else, you get too much zoom and a recoil boost.

I was messing with my m16 the other day and decided to use themal for one game , it was crash demolition and I came out with a good score, it may have been luck as I was sitting at the top of the hill picking them off which I could have probably done with the rds/holo , but it helped me through the smoke etc. My problem with thermal is the reason I dont snipe, I hate the tunnel vision it gives me causing me to ignore the immediate vicinity .

mrEmory89

this may just be me but i think the main reason people hate the ACR/thermal combo is killing becomes almost too easy due to the fact that the ACR is an automatic weapon with no recoil making it very easy to kill people and adding the thermal scope makes ppl from a distance stand out like sore thumbs making them easy targets

Don't Eat The Fish

That's at least why I hate it. The ACR is already a scrub gun, and adding thermal makes it 10 times worse. It's a fully automatic sniper at that point ffs

I've been owned by that combo quite a few times. The ACR on xbox is retarded. Machine gun people across the map with ease.
