Good sh*t, Kiwi, Grade-A post.
Let me expand on one problem. The f*cking BAL.
Everyone uses this f*cking thing. That, or the AK12, but hey, the AK12 doesn't beat every gun at any range.
Someone pops out of the corner? That's all right. You don't even need to aim. It's high power and high ROF means you outclass pretty much everything at close range with just hipfire.
A sniper or LMG user giving you problems on the other side of the map?
Pfft. Don't fret. It's negligible recoil and rendonkulous range lets you snipe with this thing in full auto.
And it get's even worse when it's the Obsidian Steel variant. Which, if you see someone with it, you know that they try-harded the sh*t out of this game to get it.
