The BAL isn't overpowered at all lol. If anything it's overrated, people haven't given any other guns a chance, I've used the ARX160 solely for 1 and 3/4 prestiges now and it's very rare that I've been dominated in a game by the BAL, if anything I'm destroying everyone else and I'm not an amazing player, the gun is so overused that people are under the impression that the gun is overpowered.
The only advantage that BAL has over all the other assault rifles is the TTK at close range, but if you use say an ASM1 or a KF5 you'll beat the BAL on most occasions.
I'm waiting for the next patch that nurfs the BAL and makes it useless then for everyone to move on to the HBRa3 and start call that overpowered also, as some have already started doing that.
I've yet to use a gun in this game that is overpowered, there's guns like the BAL and the KF5 that are good in certain situations but this doesn't make them overpowered. The reason behind people thinking the BAL is overpowered is of how widely used the gun is, poeple don't notice what gun the other guy was using when they've killed them, but most of the time they nearly always notice what gun killed them, so they assume because a vast majority of people are using the BAL which raises the odd of been killed by the said gun makes it overpowered as they keep dieing to it.
Before someone says some bullshit about I've never come up against a decent team using the BAL, I'd like to stop you right there, my clan was against 3 prestige 4s a prestige 2 and 1 prestige 6 today and they where all using the BAL, the beat us for the first 3 rounds on SnD but we stopped pissing about and won the game game 4-6. No one I play with are try-hards we're just like to play the game casually but can all pull our weight if we decide we don't wanna loose to a team.
People need to stop jumping on the band wagon and saying things are overpowered, give others weapons a try and you might be surprised how good some if them are. You may even notice people copying you after a game or two, I know I have.
Sorry about this rant and if you managed to read it and put up with all the terrible grammar and punctuation then you sir/madam deserve a medal.
