The spotter scope seems cool. I hope there are some weapon balance changes though, as it gets old seeing everybody running the Grau/MP5 loadout.
Dave, are you comparing darkening your face for a covert military mission to be the same as imitating a black person? The former is SOP and I don’t think even the world’s most woke person have any issues with it, while the latter is incredibly racist. And the image above is definitely in the former group.
And yet I’m not the only one who thought exactly what I posted because they went with that image the day after the Black Lives Matter screen went away.
Every single person I know who plays the game commented on them going with the black face image loading screen as bad taste when it went up after they delayed the season. I don’t think that it’s a horrible problem but it really undermines their previous statements.
Both the Grau and the MP5 are getting changes. I think both are losing some damage at range and the Grau has more recoil in general and less recoil compensation from the two most popular barrels.
Yeah, I saw that. The MP5 was used close range with 9mm in Warzone, so it will still be the weapon of choice there. But it’s definitely a nerf in regular mp where the 10mm rounds was more used. Basically, in Warzone you want the larger magazine because of the armor and (outside solos) being able to engage more players at the same time.
But the snipers were buffed so maybe we’re back to the HDR/M4A1 combo. Not sure what would replace the Grau for longer automatic battles if you want to continue using an AR/SMG, but maybe the M13 since it’s still a laser.
Edit: on the other hand, I’m watching someone streaming now, and he says he can barely notice any recoil changes to the Grau. So I guess it depends how much the range damage has been nerfed. But it still seems to be extremely powerful.
To be fair, it’s nothing dramatic, but I just don’t understand why buff at all? I mean, I’d rather nerf the HDR since it’s basically a hit scan weapon, even at long ranges. So nailing headshots with it is super easy, and that makes the semi-automatic marksman rifles pretty much useless in comparison.
Any buff is gonna make me go ugh. See above in the thread where I express my firmly held opinion that every (multiplayer) game ever should have all sniper weapons removed, period.
Sadly, the so-called nerfs to the Grau/MP5 loadout look more and more like wet farts. Yeah, there’s a slight damage range reduction and slightly more recoil, but in practice you don’t really notice it.
