How to Balance the ACR?

This is a game I got with it, and it made me think, what should IW do to make it on par with the other guns?
reduce close range damage to 40 and decrease long range damage to 25. No clear headshots bonuses, but the gun is still good.

This, along with very slight vertical recoil increase.
There's nothing wrong with the gun. Just because alot of people use it doesn't mean it's OP. The gun has always been a crowd favorite and a beast. Do I use it? No. Have I used it? Yes. People just need to get over it.
I'm I wouldn't use the ACR in close range.. I would recommend using it medium-Long Range. And for close range use the FMG9 as a Backup. Then use that for close range
make it slower firing with more recoil
it is to strong
They should balance all the other assault rifles better.
They're not going to balance anything. PP90 with Range is instant death in competitive gameplay. If they're going to nerf guns start with the fire rate because the opposing client can't keep up with it. Then we'll see more gun fights.
Well I don't think fire rate is a problem, as the ACR theoretically should lose out to about 70% of the guns based purely on fire rate
Its the lack of recoil compared to other ars that make it so widely used
here's a great idea to make the cry babies happy why not take out all guns n give us big sticks can't get much more even than that
Balancing it is easy. Just take your forefinger and insert it through the trigger guard. Done. Now it's a somewhat heavy gun so you will need some good finger strength but that's all it takes. Anyone want to know how to balance any more guns? Hint: It's the same process for most of them.
Those are some interesting charts and by those numbers, the FAD, M4A1 and L86 all have less bullet spread than the ACR. Since I have all four of these guns gold, I can tell you from experience that I'm just as accurate with the FAD, and M4A1 as the ACR and If I put a thermal scope on the L86 then I'm even more accurate than the ACR. Oh and I noticed that the G36C while it has up recoil greater than the ACR has almost zero side to side spray. I've got that one gold too btw. So in the right hands, it will drop an ACR user really quickly. Whew! It's a good thing the ACR is so OP or it wouldn't stand a chance against half of the other AR's. You'd think that 10 months into the game someone would have learned how to use these other guns. Oh wait, I did.
What do you mean with the last part?
The reason you see so much ACR in pubs and in MLG is because it's just consistant, an M4 and the FAD start to become less accurate over range
