    Now that the cycle and life of the game is almost essentially over, do you think Sledgehammer did a good job with gun balance? Personally, I think they didn't do a good enough of a job. I think it's cool that the game is almost a year in and Sledgehammer's still trying to fix things, but I don't appreciate how long it took them at the same. Especially considering that guns like the ASM1, Bal, AK12, and the HBR are the only guns being used. I think Sledgehammer overall focused too much on nerfing the great guns and didn't put enough effort into making use of guns like the NA-45, EM1, or other gimmick guns.

    The problem with the game was that some guns were just too good, and others just couldn't compare. It was clearly obvious how overpowered some of the shotguns were. There attempt at nerfing guns did not go well. Overall I think what would have made the game better is if they actually balanced out the strength and weaknesses of guns early on.

    Yeah I would have really liked it if the gun balance was fixed earlier on in the game. I think part of the reason that Sledgehammer didn't was in order to increase longevity of the game. By delaying balancing updates by a month or so, they could get players to return on a monthly basis. But I don't think this worked because people just eventually got bored at the beginning and quit before they could witness these updates.

    I still laugh when I hear people say ASM1, BAL27, etc...are the only guns being used & are the best to use :rolleyes:
    husky - of those you listed, the HBRA3 I use the most of those you listed.
    BUT fall far from what I normally use......I'll take the KF5 or MP11 any day over those.

    & if people would pay attention while playing or play more often, then you'll notice a lot of people play with all types of weapons & not just the ASM1 or BAL27

    I agree that the game should be more balanced. A sequel would be perfect to fine-tune the problems the first game had.

    Yeah, I agree with everyone here. There's definitely a few weapons that are much better than the rest. I wish this wasn't the case, but it's common in these games.

    I honestly feel like gun balance shouldn't be a thing. If there is, what's the point of earning a gun if is has the same amount of power of a lower gun. Being overpowered isn't always a bad thing. It just means you worked hard to get to where you are.

    i get your point about gun balance, but most times we forget about the player who with some skill and a little bit of talent can make any weapon at times seem over powered.:twitch::twitch::twitch:

    The guns were balanced pretty well, but I still hate the fact that they added lasers to the game.

    I guess that makes sense what some of the users have said about some of them just being too good to the point where nothing else could really compare. When you get that you just tend to forget about all the others which does not really do well for the whole balance aspect. I think that it was fine though, but I did find myself drawn to one or two.

    This is a problem with all the first person shooters. In this game in particular, some of the top guns were simply off the charts good. They certainly could have done a better job with gun balance.

    Sledgehammer did an awesome job in my opinion regarding weapon balance.

    I never even really noticed it as a problem. I mean, I've heard others complain about it but it never seemed to bother me.
