Toning down of weapons

Irishmaster

Hi I was watching one of those cod videos on youtube and one guy was saying that all weapons and grenades and noobtubes were all toned down powerwise after an update. Is this true? I was using the famas the other day and it took about 3 bursts to kill someone and he didnt have painkiller on.

Jev/N

All I know is it took me one burst only to kill with the FAMAS today, using stopping power, but not a headshot

I have noticed that the spas seems a little weaker lately but it could just be in my head

I use the model 1887's akimbo and have definitely noticed a huge lack in range and power.

Yeah, but the 1887's were definately toned down at some point because they were way over-powered

Having problems with sniping recently, getting either: a lot of hit markers with the Intervention but not killing despite SPP being on and hitting the torso; lining up shots nicely and firing but not getting any hitmarkers at all.

I reckon these issues may mostly be done to the change in matchmaking as I'm now having to participate in much higher ping games (originally <50 but now up to <80/100/125).

nope. haven't noticed any difference at all.

they were toned down ages ago because when you used akimbo and fmj the range was nearly double it was some sort of glitch

Good, I'm sick of being killed by one blast from a shotgun from 100 feet away

Some of the shotguns still have ridiculous range though, got killed by a Spas from 30 feet and a storey away earlier on Quarry. Never seems to work out that way when I have the shotgun out though.

This happened to me on salvage. Was at the other side of the yard and i was spassed. Wheres the power when i have this gun

30 ft isn't ridiculous range for an actual shotgun.

What they need to do is reduce the commando range. It's just dumb the way it is now.

i use the fal a lot think its just as a strong as it always was.. tho Im really happy to hear that the shot guns dont seem asa strong they anoy me ...

Commando is ludicrous, I saw a teammate get knifed by a guy using it from a side on perspective and the guy just teleported 5 feet forward in a second and got him, they should change it so that it takes 2 knife stabs to kill someone in melee, would stop all the bull**** with emptying half a clip into someone and they keep coming and stab you, how in the hell does one swipe from a (fairly big admittedly) knife kill you anyway?

Yeah, the commando perk is pretty much the only problem I have with the game now. Seriously needs to be adjusted

agreed.

Re: the 30ft spas.
The spas can have that range to one shot kill someone, but only if it is a dead on shot and using the grip.

I fairly much welcome the change if all weapons have been toned down a bit. Having an assault riffle with a one burst kill and insane accuracy given to you at Lv4 is madness. I have noticed that my Fal takes three shots to kill instead of two at long range, as does the M21 EBR, but really it doesn't bother me too much as it gives people a better chance to react.
