@TheSaltIm really happy pp29 is finaly nerfed. This will stop toxic players to use it and game will be more fun.
Its Battlefield, everything goes B A N G 💥
...and youre worried by a gun thats actually effective?
Chucking the word toxic in there just poisons the well...
As stated pre update its no more effective range than the BF3 M4A1 or BF4 ACE 23 carbine yet the maps, player and vehicle counts are significantly larger -
Buff the other guns yes,, the assault rifles play better but now the pp29 cant even take an enemy out within the range of a flag cap space and not behind cover within half that
It was a fun allround gun, that gave us console muggleboxers a chance against rapid fire dm7s, kbm players.....its not more fun/its frustrating to find something that works in this game to have it snatched away. There was nothing cheap about it, just effective....id take the old guns and ranges and recoil over it but i dont wanna play portal......its not a laser or OP why break something that works?
As for realism talk/guff some have been saying...hang on its 2042.....its not like DICE didnt take a creative stance with WW1 weapons for game play benefits in the past. In fact the semi autos sebstlader 1916 played better in ttk and btk than the AK42 and DM7 yet theres 130yrs between them.
Just move it into the AR class so purists dont get their knickers in a knot if that makes ya feel better? In a game full of noob aids like detection suits, motion balls, scans etc its the least of ya problems.
The game was half playable even with the 90% deaths from vehicles - sitting at 63% on metacritic why the hell would you take the only thing that works out of the game....BONKERS!!!
