M14 (EBR) balance

[Timmah!]

So one thing why i decided to buy MW3, was the fact it carried over guns from MW2, among them the one i like the most and always try to play with, even if its crap and i am just gimping myself - M14 EBR.

This time around however, Activision outdone themselves. They kept its numbers from MW2 (72 upper torso damage, 286 RPM ratefire, same ♥♥♥♥♥♥ wobbly sway/recoil), but increased health to 150.

So the gun, that was less then average before, now cant one shot kill to head anymore, and it takes 3 shots to body to kill (and possibly more at minimum distance or if you take some limb hit into account). So if you thought to consider this to use as a marksman rifle, which is supposed to be and put some scope on it and go for some longshots, think twice. Everyone will outshoot the living ♥♥♥♥ out of you, snipers with their one hit kill rifles, AR players with their lazors. The gun is literally useless now.

Great work, Sledgehammer.

Just use a different gun lol

Or maybe they could balance the gun to be useless. Just played the KVD Enforcer, the new marksman rifle, and its OHK to head and 2 shots body kill. Its infinitely more useful.

Then use it over the EBR. You just solved your own problem. Do you want every gun to be on the same power level?

No, i just want every gun to be useful, Or at very least the ones i care about. Which happens to be EBR.
