Upcoming Release Balance Discussion (SVN)

[ProSmoke]

The sniper is massively over powered. It's actually received rather a lot of improvements:

* Now does 84 damage instead of 80
* Now has 47 spread down from 60 (I mean the sniper isn't supposed to be accurate unscoped but it's almost as accurate as the SMG with 45 spread)
* The scoped FOV can now be set to a max of 60 (instead of 50 in 1.1.0.4)
* Pistols now have a clip size of 10

And in comparison all the stats for SMG appear to have decreased except damage (ie: more recoil and spread). AR is largely unchanged with just a slight increase in starting recoil. So, according to my attempt to understand server.h: sniper is far better and AR and SMG are worse.

And in an hour or so of playing it feels that way too. Sniper is so overpowered that even with 100 health and shield two shots kill.

I love how you call 2 shots over powered on a sniper. To even it up less recoil on the full auto guns but don't need a sniper.... Especially if it's at 2 shots even if you hit them in the chest
