Multiplayer Balance Changes Feedback.
Having played some matches of multiplayer on the new patch, I can say it's mostly a step in the right direction. Here are my thoughts.
1. Gun Balance

Assault rifles are completely useless on gold with the exception of the M37 Falcon and that's literally, hit and miss.
Pistols are useless on Gold bar the Scorpion, seeing a pattern here.
I just dont even use shotguns, ever so i dunno. Tbh i havent seen anyone pugging with a shotgun on gold or at least not getting credit for their kills with one.
The balance on bronze is fine, leave it alone.
Silver and gold is what needs fixing - semi-auto AR's on gold are a timewaste in their current state. The burst fire and full automatic AR's are almost as bad, with massive penalties to accuracy particularly with full auto (Revenant, Thokin Avenger) and very little damage when they do hit. For example, hosting a gold run earlier with 3 others, i took the Revenant on a human female soldier, level 20 with full whack points in weapon damage etc.. Point blank, in the face, 100 rounds more than half missed. By that time i'd lost more than half my health and had to find cover and reload - that was one single mob, no armour, no shield, not a special, just trash. My aim isnt that bad, and i was shooting full auto at point blank..
That's not balanced, not even remotely.
On the other side, the Raptor full auto sniper rifle is by far the best gun in the game at the moment, solid damage, great accuracy and holds a good amount in each clip. This is how AR's should be functioning, SR's (specifically the raptor) should be above that in scale.
Oh, the menu changes and character selection level up icon, nice one for that. That was needed too.
I completely agree! Bronze is fun and fine, it's how the difficulty scales. They didn't make the game mechanically difficult as you go up, just dramatic increases in health that make most guns un usable. They are either good damage or innacurate as all hell or accurate and nerf guns. I am sure they are going to fix it but currently I won't touch anything above bronze, just too bullet spongie.
They actually LOWERED the damage on the Mattock??? *TILT*
That thing was * before and now it's even more useless (unlike ME3 where it was pretty usefull for beginners). Do BW devs even realize that's a SEMI-automatic? What ya'll playing with autofire controllers? Oo
Yeah idk, it was bad, so they moved around it's power so it's the same level of *, just functions in a different way? Idk. They gave rate of fire AND damage to the predator and now it does decent work, atleast in bronze. My rank 1 mattock can't kill trash mobs in bronze, that's an issue. I know I gotta get more ranks in it, but the only way to do that is to buy more expensive packs, and you can only reliably do that by playing harder difficulties, but it's too hard because all the guns you have suck... it really just doesn't make sense. I REALLY hope these devs go back and play ME3 and take notes, that game was almost perfectly balanced. Could use my avenger in silver just fine 0 problem, now it can hardly kill a trash mob in silver without reloading lol. Same with the mattock. A full clip and it barely kills a trash mob in bronze, I really liked it in 3! Oh how the mighty have fallen
