It's a realistic game the m60 is hell-powerfull therefore i don't think it should be nurfed and NOT anyone can use it a complete "noob" will still fail with it unless in 2-5m range of a fight when he can just spray.

Anyone else here who would like to see this gun "toned" down for the purposes of game balance?

Personally I feel they should reduce the accuracy of the gun. As it stands now, I feel it is completely overpowered relative to the rest of the weapons in the game, and allows medics to "lonewolf" because of its effectiveness. Medic is by definition a supporting class, but the M60 can put them at the front lines.

Thoughts and opinions welcome.

I don't believe the M60 itself is overpowered, I DO, however, think that it's ease of access/usage is overpowered though.

On my brother's account I was raising his medic score to get the unlocks and using just the PKM. I'm at the point where I can consistently keep the gun at a straight line dragging it along a player's character and headshotting quite frequently as well from quite some distance. This is w/o 4x/RDs/accuracy buff/etc...

But then i get the M60 and i can load up 4x/rds/accuracy or whatever and it's just retardedly easy to use; which is why i think a bunch of people use it and why people think it's so overpowered; it's just simply too easy to use. The recoil is basically nothing unless you're spraying... which works... sadly.. due to it's relatively high accuracy. solution: increase recoil per bullet(s) fired, decrease overally distance accuracy, lower power (would hate to see this), increase or decrease rate of fire (increase would imply more recoil per second/click; decrease would improve accuracy but lower power in terms of balance)?

Another potential argument for the reason that the M60 itself isn't OP is the magnum ammo... I only know of a few people who don't run with magnum, i certainly do with most of my setups; it's almost a needed addition to most guns to make them viable; perhaps the M60 is ok w/o magnum, but with magnum it becomes overpowered? solution: remove magnum from M60 upgrades?

I dunno really; i don't believe the weapon itself is the problem. I seriously think that the magnum ammo should be removed and maybe give the M60 a small boost in recoil to prevent such an easily controllable burst. PKM is probably the closest comparison to M60 (in the game...), and i think the M60 should have better accuracy than the PKM, but slightly more recoil to compensate, while keeping it's current power.

I'm amazed at all the people who think the gun isn't OP'd. I've read all the points, but the weapons stats page that has been posted speaks for itself. Plus I can, with no effort mind you, chose the m60 and wtfpwn anytime I want. kind of obvious really.

Most of you make me sad that you try to justify a broken weapon.

See that's what I'm getting at though xosniper; the gun is OP BECAUSE of how easy it is to pick it up and go. The stats for the actual gun aren't that impressive compared to other medic guns; especially the 36; which is amazing.

I think if they change a few things, it'll be split between PKM/M60/36 in terms of medic weapons; with the M60 naturally having a lead due to just popularity.

I don't think it's right to just flat out say something is OP without looking at things that make it that way, because if you find what the reason for said weapon/upgrade/etc... is OP, then you can adjust accordingly instead of blanket nerfing/buffing things, which just causes more crap to become "OP."

Xo all I gotta say is

GREATER THAN

 

[xosniper]

I hear ya dudeman, I agree. I just get mad because I love the medic class, and hate seeing people running around m60ing everything (I did for 3 hours till I realized how crazy the gun is ) instead of healing/reviving/shooting everything.


and LOL noxx

 

[Opeth!]

my point isn't that i think the game should be realistic, you're right noxx, if I wanted realism, I'd go be in the infantry in Iraq/Afghanistan

My point is that this is a video game, obviously not realistic. While the M60 has a long standing tradition in the military, the way it is used in this game makes the game unbalanced. My whole point is we are playing a game, and I would like to see the game balanced. While the M60's ability may be "true to realism" - let's face it. This game isn't realistic at all (hell you can get defibbed instantly)

Lets see it owns on Hardcore mode and its reasonable on Regular so IDC
