The spitfire buff was not necessary and probably not the greatest move.

The gun takes absolutely no skill to use, people are just running around with it spraying bullets in hip fire all over the place. I'd rather have the OP mastiff back in the game than this spitfire.  ...

@Daze623 They could reduce the hip fire movement speed quite a bit and the ADS movement. I think that might work, if this was real life, no one is going to spinning circles while spraying bullets from an LMG like that. Few people could fire an LMG standing up, let alone be bouncing off walls spraying bullets in every direction.

The gun is basically an LMG version of the charge rifle with a massive magazine.

Ahhh this is nostalgic lol, I remember the spitfire nerf demands of old.

Amazing how they can screw the same weapon up twice.....perhaps they should just work to properly balance all of the weapons rather than randomly overpowering weapons here and there under the guise of "changing the meta".

    @MandatoryIDtag I think they were trying to make the gun balanced. Before the buff the spitfire was really just a noob gun for people who wanted some success but could not handle recoil/tracking and all of that.. It was a gun with a massive magazine that you could fire endlessly at enemies as you tried to figure out movement and tracking. Once they got that down they could start to experiment with less forgiving guns, things like the 301.

    Now it seems like every team has at least one person spraying bullets at you endlessly.

    I'm not against it being a decent gun and it might be right now. It might just be me needing to adjust my game play to the gun.

    The Devo is I think fairly balanced despite being the highest DPS gun in the game. It's recoil and movement all just seem to make it balanced IMO.

      @DarthValtrex Can't the Devo counteract it some? I know it has a harder recoil but if you can control it has a better fire rate so most of the time you can down them before they do.
