What happen to ....M16A2

[rebel444]

Just unlocked the M16 ........ red dot site and mag ammo but when shooting enemy it is like I'm using rubber bullets. Is it lag, poor connection, bad 'puter components or intoxicated player. Oh well, the new patch will correct the problem.................yea buddy!!!!!

Re: What happen to ....M16A2

Unfortunately, M16 is now equal to AEK except slightly more accurate. It is understandable that M16 is felt underpowered now, since most who recently unlocked it have abused AN-94 to certain degree. I am currently using M416 and cussing a lot due to it's significantly weaker than AN-94. There is also hitreg bug. I found that it is especially bad when you are recording. Just few days ago I emptied the whole mag of XM8C into somebody and didn't get single hit indicator. Yes, I burst fire and did not hold down LMB. Wait until the next patch and see if they tune it back to awesomeness.

They nerfed it in a previous patch. Nothing like the gun it once was.

The M16 is still a good weapon, but I still miss the awesome damage it used to do.

I shall never forgive DICE for what they did to my M16.

Use XM8, M4A1, or AUG instead, M16 will loose against a AN94 user. Hopefully new patch will buff this awesome gun.

Re: What happen to ....M16A2

beforehand the M16 did 16.7 damage at close range and 14.3 damage at long range

after the patch it does 14.3 damage at all ranges

you would not expect that a change like that would have the impact, but really it did, it is not an attractive gun to use anymore and is pretty much useless, it feels pitifully weak and has no application with the other weapon choices on hand

it has high rof but using it means you won't hit ****, the 3 round burst forces more bullet spread and also isn't reliable

it was a good gun beforehand because despite its drawbacks it had decent versatility and from hip performance

now it is just sort of pointless, if you find anyone with an AN94 who sees you, you are dead without much chance of doing anything, hell that can be said for pretty much an enemy with any gun

now that predictably Dice rolled back the AN94, the M16 should be rolled back as well

and I **** you not the Assault guns would be practically perfect in terms of balance

Yeah pretty much m-16 = Airsoft. Really, why they decided to nerf the last gun you unlock for the assault class is beyond me. I suspect though that like mentioned above, it will be reverted in the upcoming patch.

Re: What happen to ....M16A2

I'd be annoyed if it wasn't for the fact that I'd rather not use any of the assault rifles and 40mm noob tubes. Instead, I'm opting for the same kit load-out that I'm using on my Recon class:

- Garand
- 1911
- C4
- 2x Explosives
- Magnum or Body armor


Given that the Garand is getting a boost in the coming patch, this combination is going to be even more lethal. (Less recoil while aimed down the sights)

The only difference between my Assault and Recon classes is that one gives me motion mines, whereas the other allows me to replenish ammo. Basically, one for RUSH OFFENSE, and one for RUSH DEFENSE.
