Serious commentary about weapon balance will hereafter go in the Balance Discussions thread and will be held to the standards of that forum.

Have to agree with iRobot here, Aza. SMGs and MPs are already overpowered. As a counter balance I would decrease firerate and/or magazine size.

[Nuclearbass]

SMGs and Machine Pistols

Damage increased
Range increased

Are you sure about that?

[Azarael]

Hmm, looks like I've misinterpreted here. The adjustment was because I felt SMG-type weapons have not been seen at all since the move to primary weapon, they were trashed in effectiveness by updated shotguns and Assault Rifles were a better pick because the damage bonus was only 10% for SMGs and 20% for MPs with a very short effective range. If a revert is required, we'll quickly find out since it's Sunday and I've time to observe the effects.
