Okay, well we all know how the BR started off as a Single round shot in the beginning, then it was changed to a 3-round burst shot. I was thinking, how about making the game more balanced by placing the emphasis on the BR being a MID-RANGE weapon.
My suggestion is to make the BR a single round shot, when unscoped. Scoping in would therefore allow you to Burst shot, and have a better chance of hitting your target long rage, however they should also change the zoom range to around 5x. This way you wouldnt be able to use the zoom setting in an up-close hand-to-hand battle. This would then make the BR a definate mid-range weapon, while still allowing you to use it in close-quarters combat if skilled with grenades.
Increase the power of the BR to around 3 bursts per kill, and 3 single-round shots per kill also, and leave the Rate of fire alone... I'm particularly fond of the H1 pistol, however, games change and progress. So my goal is to keep the rough outline of the way the H1 pistol functions, but changing the way it is used will add a new element to the game... Balance is key, and making a perfect starting weapon is the best way to balance a game.
What do you guys think about this? Any comments? Suggestions?
