Re: Why do all of the Vault/Portal weapons feel so weak compared to 2042 weapons?

They are old weapons, leave them as-is.  I played a match with a BF3 LMG which had horrendous vertical recoil and I thought, oh, that should be fixed, until I realized that this is how the weapon is and I enjoyed using it as a challenge.  You can't fit the character of a modern weapon unto those from previous titles, doing so would remove any uniqueness of that weapon, even if it is harder to use.
