Weapon rebalance:
Assault Rifles (buffs) - FAD, M16A4, AK47
SMG's (buffs) - UMP45, MP5, PM9

It's about time!

The mw2 UMP might be back

This was released for Xbox AND PS3 right? I will try it tonight. AK47 was my fave in BO. Did you try the M16?



Agreed...

so is this done now or will it be done in an update?, coz seriously none of the above guns feel like they have been 'buffed'

Yeah they're all done now I think, it was a hotfix so not an actual patch update.

It was a hotfix so it has already been implemented. Sad to say that the difference is only minimal. The mp7 and acr are still the best in their category.

I don't really use these guns I stick to P90 and ACR.

im gonna try this out on private match with a splittscreen profile. If thats true then the UMP should be a 2 shot kill up close, the fad a 3 shot killup close and the rest whatever.

Edit:
im calling bullshit on this. I tried it on private match and the FAD is still a 4 shot kill up close and the UMP is a 3 shot kill up close. Im still thinking that this is a simple lie to fool the community.

MW3 needs a LOT more work than just it's messed up guns...so....we'll see..

It's all been a placebo effect haha, the hotfix has not been implemented yet even though it's stated as such. Various youtubers have made tests on the guns and they have the same damage, speed , etc. One of the testers.
