Weapon balance is completely broken. Could your dev team please stop listening the COD streamers? This isn't even battlefield anymore, its big COD at this point and it's very unbecoming. Back to Arma until this stops feeling like a game i stopped purchasing years ago.
weapon balancing is terrible. these game designers aren't that perceptive or don't play their game much.
Blackwell fields is a total sniper fest. that's because assault rifles and carbines take way too many shots to kill on top of having to fight ADS bullet spread and dispersion. why would you even want to use those guns when a DMR or a sniper actually lands shots where you are aiming?
The devs know about it . . . the gun meta was an issue during beta (shotgun and others) but they adjusted that. Yeah bloom for LMG / assault rifles and carbines (not as much bloom). COD is worse, they had a gun meta, every monthly patch, they have meta guns that have to pay or grind (but by the time you unlock them another set of guns is the meta) and it was like S tier and rest (even former meta) went to C-F below tier).
Blackwell is bad cuz cover isn't much . . . and the design is off. Although it's fun to counter snipe with the new vehicle (but usually the tanks and the IFV notice and shells and DAT MISSILE) comes our way and its curtains for us.
I noticed something when mostly ppl run SMG regardless of class, and my engi (I play support more and go for sig weapons) kept winning the most close gun battles out of any class. And when I was getting kills return fire on glints, something I could only do with sniper or dmr (But not often cuz they get me first) i knew something was up. I was even tagging ppl across the map with SMG (I ride passenger and repair torch sometimes) in the blackhawk.
Even beta for here they had meta (shotgun, M4 / HK 416).
EA made the SMGs have similar range and triple the power of LMGs to make the game like CoD.
It’s certainly not like Battlefield.
They want to please all the CoD streamers, not the BF players.
