Upcoming Release Balance Discussion (SVN)

[castiel]

yeah shotgun is ridiculous. I'd estimate 70% of the players in the games I play use shotguns

and added recoil to assault rifle would counter balance the 4 hit kill :D ...or make burst/tap firing amazing/ but yeah. .-.

I'll say it again, I posted earlier, Have you tested the svn? The shotgun has been toned down, so this is no longer really an issue, unless you're telling us your thoughts of the new shotgun...

I've also seen the sniper bug and had it happen to me, can be very frustrating/strange.

I'm liking the svn so far, the smg/ar seem far more balanced, the ar may not be as much of a killing machine, but it has the rifle jump advantage and I can still see people using it over the smg in matches, so hopefully we will see more variety.

Another rant about the sniper, would it be possible to increased it's unscoped spread even more? As it is just as effective as any other weapon close range, if you run into a player round a corner etc and manage to hit them then the one pistol kill is far quicker than an smg/ar player can react and kill them. It would force players into using the sniper more like an actual sniper imo.
