Well, I barely ever played with the m16 for obvious reasons, so no idea how much better it is. I tested to see if it was worth using now, with 3 kills I got 2 hitmarkers mid range, before killing the immobile split screener twice with a red dot and kick on. So yeah, then just stopped immediately. Waste of time. Might be better with RF, but don’t like the sights on it anyway. The ak47, got around 200 kills with it before the "buff," so yeah not an expert on it either, but will start using it more now that it’s not as kick P reliant imo.
The need to be up the ass would be fine if shotguns were secondaries. They are not and need better reliability in their 10 meter max damage zone. The best way is 2 pellet kills, also do to player movement, lag and sync issues. Making them better adsed, would also make them easier to use, so yeah I highly doubt they will do that & a power buff. If they keep the current spread and need of steady aim to get great accuracy, you would still need excellent aim to get kills frequently outside 7.5 meters. So why not do these buffs? There is no logical reason, other than wanting them to have constancy issues regardless of excellent fast aim.
It’s not hard to get a kill with a pump shotgun and damage atm, it’s however hard to use them constantly even in their max damage zones as they simply get too many hitmarkers. In anyway buffing guns as slow as the pumps and model won’t be game breaking as the game already has a good fully auto and semi-auto shotguns in the usas12 and the striker. People can whine, but they can use those same slow guns as well and see that they need excellent fast aim to have any ohk constancy.
Just tested the spas in mw2. 2-Pellet kills would be awesome sausage and 5 spread ads isn’t an issue cqb at all, not even close. Needing great steady aim, aim to get longer shots should be normal, knowing the ohk potential they then have, giving them around that ads with a power buff is asking for problems. Would love the mw2 spas in mw3 though, at least with the specialist bonus as that guns is so much fun, but still easy to die with.
I would like to know why they discriminated Pumps. I mean they gave OHK snipers actual SP multipliers all-round. Why not pumps 2/8th kills they had in mw2? Reducing the overall range compared to the mw2 spas is all they needed to do, they went overboard. Especially while making them a primary class this should have been a given, as 3/8th will always have constancy issues regardless of aim and positioning. They are just a frustrating class atm & players who play to their potential (in their max damage zones mainly), don’t get rewarded constantly. One gun shouldn’t have constancy issues to please players who mainly use / want to use autos. That’s stupid. Why not make bolt actions less powerful as well then? I’m pretty sure people whine daily about qdraw qsing too, next to "hard-scoping" one hit kills.
