They're doing it so people will stop using AR's in single fire that out pace the ease of killing enemies opposed to using a DMR. DMR's with slower RoF, slightly better damage, and higher recoil/accuracy makes spamming an AR in single fire with 4-6 shots much more appealing to use in various scenarios. Makes sense to me.

@PapaDrach Nah, better to slightly buff DMRs then. Much better. Like higher dmg and less recoil or something.
- edgecrusherO04 years agoSeasoned Ace@JWGrasli No, because then you're in an arms race. Buffs and nerfs need to be selective, and DMR's kinda suck right now because AR's (and hell even SMG's and LMG's) often outclass them at range in terms of killing ability, while being much stronger at short/mid engagements.
AC42 was still super strong after the last nerf and needed a bit more of a nerf at long distances for being an AR and how accurate it is. But they need to do a pass on the other weapons as well, because they're out of whack too. AC42 was just the most obvious problem child given its fairly unique performance amongst AR's.- JWGrasli4 years agoNew Adventurer@edgecrusherO0 If DMRs "suck" they need to be buffed/improved, not other weapons nerfed down. Thats just not very smart. It worked in older BF2 and BF3 so why not now? BF2 had 2-3 bullets to kill for marksman, 3-4 for Assault not 6 like in 2042. Worked perfectly instead of the 2042s nerfing of semi-auto resulting in spray'n pray for the win like all SMGs etc here now. K30 is too powerful yet unchanged and SMGs in general have the same damage at range like ARs.. ? Doesnt make sense.
- HARLEMnycity3 years agoRising Hotshot@edgecrusherO0 Dice shouldn't be doing any nerfs when the game still has many more important problems.

Pretty sure nerfs/buffs are super easy to implement, which means they wouldn't have to compromise here
