Not really sure that's a fair comparison. Most of the guns in this game give various perks that affect their gameplay to a wider degree than simply recoil & rate of fire (ala CoD games). I'm not defending or attacking, just saying your comparison isn't very apt.

But would t you think they would have gotten ahold of it yet? I mean scouts and snipers are the complaint now?

I don't actually think they want a pure balance. Besides which, I know it seems crazy on the boards and people following the META in game makes it even more difficult, but the balance isn't really as far out of whack as people would have you believe. If it were, it wouldn't take minor tweaks to get everyone shifting playstyle/gear so quickly. Suffice to say, I don't ever want a perfectly balanced game anyways. It'd be boring.

Personally I don't think it's bad either I'm just sooo sick of people calling for nerfs. There's no weapon you can use that has not been deemed op at one time or another. I agreed with shotgun nerf but wow this community never stops
