Just saw it via a tweet and is posted at the bottom here:

Could be a good thing, might see more weapon variety in game. Personally I rarely use any of the guns listed:FAD, M16A4, AK47, UMP45, MP5, PM9..
Discuss!
Ump is a monster up close. Tbh I have seen players with great stats and game plays with all these guns.
Hopefully they will steady the ump at range shots so it becomes op lol
I agree with the ump at close, very decent. Not so great at range but then it is an smg so shouldnt be I guess. Perhaps surprised its on the list.
I only really know the pm9, m16a4 and mp5 are considered needing a boost. Was actualy going to try out the fad again soon because I used a token on it then hated it. Might as well wait now! ![]()
why would they want to buff weapons when they are about to release black ops in a few months
to keep people playing by adding variety. anything to keep the interest on the franchise before the new one drops.
just my guess.
Treyarch and Blops are actually huge rivals. Mw3 is going to keep their game going until they come out with THEIR next game.
it would be nice to know what they changed with these weapons. gonna have to try them out to find out, i guess. M16 just needed a little oomph. don't really know what the ump45 or the AK47 really needed. both were pretty serviceable before. the pm9 i never even tried. the FAD I only tried briefly but i don't remember any real glaring weaknesses. ROF was good but maybe a little more oomph as well.
Hmm I dont actually know if the buffs have happened thrugh a hotfix or if theyre just planned..
the pm9 is awesome at close range maps with a silencer and ext mags
What are they going to do with the FAD? It's already a really really good weapon, the others ones I can see needing a tad bit of help, maybe not the ak-47 though.

Weapon rebalance for assault rifles & SMG's:
FAD - increased damage and range
M16A4 - increased damage and fire rate
AK47 - reduced kick
UMP45 - increased damage
MP5 - increased fire rate
PM9 - reduced kick
Trying to break the game apparently.
um old news.
Is it? I posted it pretty soon after it was tweeted. Do you know if the changes have happened yet or not?
Riot Shield pls.
Why did they only reduce the kick on AK-47 and not on the CM901? Now that weapon is outclassed by every other AR. It's a real bummer since it's one of my favourite guns.
The ak is a pretty good gun once you tame the kick (silencer + kick is a good combo to use), and the pm-9 is a monster up close (always hipfire it, adsing is pretty useless with it). Every other gun probably does need a buff in some sort of way.
Too bad they did not take another look at the shotguns this go around. Im glad to see these buffs with the exception of the ump and fad i have not used any of them and it will be a nice change up.
The UMP deserved the buff. It is (or was) the only primary along with the PP90m1 to take 6 shots to kill at a range. On top of that it suffered from being the lowest RoF SMG. Its only benefit was its range, but even that was only slightly higher then the P90's or PP90's. The mw3 UMP was heavily nerfed from the mw2 UMP.
Im almost 90% sure they already buffed the AA-12. And ive already achieved well over 2500 kills with 4 of the 6 guns listed in the original post. Why wait this long to buff these guns? It will be awhile before I use tem again because ive experementing with other guns. Also all the guns listed, besides the M16 and FAD (havnt used them), are are pretty good. I gto ALOT of love for the PM-9, UMP, AK47 and the MP5. I hate to see them mess with these guns.
Why would they increase fire rate on the MP5? The fire rate is fine, it just needs to have a little less recoil.
It would still be largely outclassed by the P90 if it did, but then again it still is with its higher RoF. I would of suggested a range buff.
