I am a bit puzzled by how there was no community manager reply to confirm or deny this change so far. They are usually chiming in for those topics
Personally, I think drum mags shouldn't even be in the game in the first place because of balancing reasons. Its hard to make them work right. Either overpowered because everything else is inferior, or its useless and everything else is better.
Right now most cancer mechanic is Macay with drum Scar or K30 zooming&nooming around the map at Mach 10 while ADSing and holding down the trigger
I still think higher side-to-side recoil would've been better though. Leave your suggestions, Dice might change it in the future.

@UP_LordPlumber Agreed, like you said in theory impossible to balance so why add in the first place.
Using the M16A3 is the perfect example. In some fights when you engage at a disadvantage you often don’t have enough bullets to kill the target. So instead you prolly shouldn’t have engaged like you did or picked a path with too many enemies, or waited for a better shot. That just disappears when you have that little extra and why it makes no sense. Running the M16A3 you have that constant feeling like you missing out. Having 40-60 bullets just dumbs down the game takes away the tactics, positioning everything.
Please non of this in the next title
- UP_LordPlumber3 years agoSeasoned Ace@doubleome They should've used BF4 as an example. Every gun there was a place. Scar-H and Bulldog ha 20-round mags and both were extremely viable if you knew how to use them correctly.
Now we don't have to care about ranges and where the gun is most viable. Just slap on a 40 or 50-round drum and you're good for any engagement.

@UP_HawxxeyeWeird change, but necessary. There is 0 reason to run any other mag on Scar-H, MP9 or K30

So from using only drum mags, now we will never be using drum mags.
Now there is 0 reason to run drum mags because in frontal confrontation the one who can ADS faster will get the kill , extra bullets left in the drum mag of our corpse be damned.
I believe that If they wanted to give the drum mags a fair tradeoff, it should had been at the reload speed and not at the unrelated ADS speed.
- 3 years ago@UP_Hawxxeye - very much this. I can understand a change to reload times but slowing down ads is difficult as you end up having to exclude one or the other magazine type as muscle memory ends up all over the place during engagements!
