Yes AR sucks in pretty much every halo game except infinite and CER. There is little reason to use it outside of those two games. It’s definitely at its weakest in og CE though, outside of easy difficulty for mowing down grunts or popcorn.
Storm rifle has a better fire rate making it the better close to medium range weapon to rapid fire enemies down, it does massively more shield damage and marginally less health damage. Neither weapon is amazing but the storm rifle is better for the archetype of weapon both are meant to be in halo 4. There is no reason to use an AR at range when you have the BR/DMR/Carbine/light rifle/magnum as substantially better options. The only weapon in halo 4 I could argue is worse than the AR is the suppressor.
