This is how smg changed:
-1 point less dmg
-Spread was all in all LOWERED.
-Spread behaviour similar to AR: The first few shots are MORE accurate than before (first 4-5). This means that you have to aim first, then shoot and work with bursts on longer ranges if possible - if you do this properly, smg is easily on par or even better in close combat than AR. I have no problems against AR users with the SMG.
I have a feeling that those who feel that it became more innacurate were more spraying (or let`s say losely tracking), not aiming before. If you have a constant high spread (like SMG had before), you don't necessarily need to be on target all the time to get your shots in.
Spartan: First people complained that people take too long to die in 1.1, and the game was slower paced due to this. Now, after armour has been nerfed people start saying they die too fast... keep in mind, armour is still stronger than in 1.0 when you are above 50.
I agree though that shotgun is a bit too strong now. We will re-balance it for 1104. Maybe this is one of the things contributing to "dying too fast".
