Post: Overpowered and Underpowered Guns Discussion Thread
06-24-2012, 01:17 AM #1
(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.

:p but crap at range it like the famas
I was using some of the semi auto shotguns forget how bad they are now.
They need a spread decrease when you full auto just reduce how far the pellets go.

Accuracy even at 15m is bad when you full auto

Yeah maybe recoil decrease on the scar would be a bad idea......maybe a damage drop off increase ? Increasing it mag size may help. It meant to be the longer range engineer gun that why i said reduce it recoil
Btw the SCAR-L is UP other ARs do a better job not sure how to fix that

TV missle is great but a pain in the arse to control. You need to just move the sticks a bit
Did you use it when it was glitched was a one hit kill. Super OP but fun to use ^^

The famas isn't that bad. Its not just you but everyone I talk to judges accuracy on full auto firing. No gun is meant to fire full auto past 20m or 25m. Carbines, ARs, LMGs, SMGs, you burst fire at range. Semi auto shotties are a lil weak excluding the spaz. I can fire full auto at 15m and hit my targets. A suppressor helps too but I don't use it.

I like the famas on small maps just for it power :p
Found it works with foregrip and laser.

Idk....i found even slow firing it increases the spread too much. Even up to 15m it poo
I don't have much luck with shotguns they appear random to me

No way, it's slowly becoming my best assault rifle. Probably one of the best guns in the game along with my AN-94. Happy

It us up close. Its slow fire rate is good for Medium range but in close quarters encounters, it loses because of its slower fire rate. Other than the AN-94 and G3A3, it has the slowest fire rate of any AR, but even the G3A3 beats it because the G3A3 does 34 damage a shot when the target is closer than or at 8m.

I know all that. I'm just saying, it's not UP in my opinion. It's very good at what it was meant for; Low recoil, very accurate, long range weapon. I hear the Heavy Barrel is glitched on it or some shit though. =/

Does anyone else not think the SCAR-H is shit as fuck? I mean it's going to be extremely hard to get 100 kills for the assignment with it man, the clip is terrible! Also, I find the PP-2000 to be really powerful, I can mow down enemies with it for jokes, it's un-real Happy

I guess your right. It is good at what it is designed for. My only ? is, why would dice put it in Close Quarters if its a medium range weapon? Lol they can be so stupid sometimes

Not really. It's one of the very few carbines that shoots a 7.62. Think about it. That small of a gun isn't really meant for a 7.62, so the damage and recoil are correct. Also, think of the bullet size + the shell for the 7.62. Unfortunately the 20 round mag is realistic but I believe it should be bumped up to 25.

I know right lol? I don't think it needs any buff or nerf though as it's balanced in my opinion. The MTAR-21 on the other hand needs a bit of tweaking, I think it's a little OP.
