Upcoming Release Balance Discussion (SVN)

[V-Man]

the amount of public's using Sniper / SMG / AR is minimal

Wait, what?
I agree, shotgun is overpowered, but I have not seen this over-saturation you speak of.
By way of concession, I can see that sniper use has declined, but SMG use has not declined nearly as much, and it seems to me like AR use has increased even since the last version (and especially so since 1.0).

Then there's the weapon you didn't mention. For being a new and powerful weapon, I'm a little astonished that not so many people use the carbine. If I were a better aim, I would probably go with that.
