I hope the drum magazine ubernerf does not make it in the actual patch

I was looking at a video of Enders talking about the patch and the last section was dedicated to a concern by the playtesters of 3.2 where DICE had increased the ADS time of guns when the drum magazi...

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

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

    @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.
