(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); I'm making this thread to see what guns you people think are overpowered in this game. Please remember THESE ARE ALL MATTERS OF OPINION! Please do not flame others for their opinions. Now basically I wanna know what gun you think is overpowered and why. You can either post what gun you think is or reply to someone on why it is not. Note that I'm not just talking about damage here people, I can also mean Rate of fire.

My votes

OP
MTAR21 - This gun is too strong for the fire rate. If they take it down another 5-7 points it would be fine.
M417 - Since it's mainly used as an aggressive sniper, meaning not with 7x, 8x, or 12x scopes, it needs a damage reduction and an accuracy increase. It is meant to be used as a medium range sniper and an ADS spread decrease paired with an hip fire spread increase would really highlight the main purpose of the gun.
93R - This is OP af. You kill someone in the blink of an eye. It's fine up cloes but it needs to have lowered damage and lower range.

UP (Underpowered)
AK-74M - This is I believe the weakest of all the ARs. It need to have less ADS spread.
AKS-74U - I got a feeling the Americans like their guns a little more than the Russians do as the American guns are OP and the Russian guns are UP. Anyway this gun is weak in general, it needs a rate of fire boost.

Please feel free to comment on what guns you think are OP or UP but realize you can be challenged on your reasons why they are, and remember NO FLAMING!!! I don't think the mods enjoy people b*tching at others, and ik I don't.

Please also take a look at this website. This website has the stats for all the BF3 guns. (and MW3 if u wanna use that) All of these values were pulled from the PC game files and are the same values as on console. Enjoy You must login or register to view this content.

Ok sorry I've been away from this thread and I missed a lot but here we go. (thanks wego)

Grant - The SCAR-H isn't UP. It does 30 dmg a shot compared to 25 for all but the ACW which is 20 per shot. (These are max values btw. Over distance the dmg decreases.)

Resist - Kinda off topic considering its not a gun but... I love the TV Missile and don't believe it should have a delayed control, but don't forget, it packs a b*tch of a punch and if you manage to hit a chopper w/ it they are screwed. Also lowering the SCAR-H's recoil wouldn't make sense. It is smaller than an AR yet it fires a 7.62 That small of a gun isn't meant to fire that large a bullet. It's recoil is fine now. They could however give it 25 rounds per mag.

zak - Ok again off topic and i don't wanna get in a flame war on whether cod or bf3 is better but tbh BF3 takes way more co-operation and team work than cod. Ik for a fact that even when i'm with my friends on cod. I can't help but be a lone wolf. On bf3, being a lone wolf gets you killed way too fast.

Spawn - Now think about what you are saying. You are saying that any shot under 550M should be a OHK to the chest or head... No. Just no. The average sniping in BF3 takes place from 300m to 500m. Also if you account for the amount of velocity a bullet loses over 500m, a OHK isn't that realistic unless your packing a .50. You are going to bleed out in the long run in real life, but unless you hit the heart/lungs/vital organs, you aren't gonna kill in one shot...

I use the F2000, and i believe it is just a little overpowered

uhm. no. read what i said. i said OVER 550m, as it is a hard shot to pull off. OVER 550m NOT UNDER.

they should patch the m417 imo

That makes no sense what so ever. A bullet does *NOT* GAIN velocity over distance it LOSES velocity, ergo, if you are able to kill in one shot to the chest at 550m or longer, than anything under 550m would be a OHK too. Did you even think that through? I'm not trying to be mean but it simply makes no sense what so ever. BF3 isn't like CoD. It has a degree of reality and sniping is probably the most realistic thing in the game. The only thing you can do to make sniping more realistic is give the bolt action snipers a slight buff on when the damage drop off begins and add wind into the game.

I've loved Battlefield sniping from the moment I started playing bad company 2, the fact that a one shot wasn't guaranteed unless it was a headshot ( with the exception of the M95 with magnum ammo but you'd be pretty bad to use that anyway).
The fact that it is hard to get over '550' or a high amount is part of the challenge, if you actually like playing recon on battlefield then it should still be fun.
The satisfaction of getting a headshot at such a range ( I'd say over 600 for me ) is worth it.
I think if they did make it OHK over a certain range it would be
1. Unrealistic as partypoker said
2. Lose the challenge and be too easy to snipe

That's just my opinion, but if it ever was OHK over a range I'd think it was fucking ridiculous :lol:

lol i think ur right.

mtar21 ftw, somebody add me WoahBoogz need a few more friends to my list !

... It does lose its accuracy at range but it's still OP up close. I can't understand why people use it.
