Nerf the USAS-12.

[=Reconnaissance=]

The problem with the USAS-12 is not so much the range or the rate of fire on it but the fact that it doesn't really have that much of a kickback to it when firing full auto. What you got to remember is that anything point blank with it is going to be devestating because the shell has not had the time to explode and expand the mini bullets leaving a nice sizable chunk missing from you whereas anything past a certain point wont be a kill shot because it looses force and alot of the fragments will likely miss.

If anything, the range factor needs to be brought in line with its real counterpart. The ranges at which people are killing others with this weapon are silly. This is a weapon designed solely for CQB and close range supression fire.

You must not have never fired one then sir. I got the chance of shooting the U.S. version AA-12, the USAS-12 is really just a Korean copy. The AA-12 and USAS-12 behave the same more or less though. If you are firing 00 buck, you can hit targets very effectively. I was hitting my target from 20 yards (60 feet), with no problems.

You are correct in your assertion, and that would apply to most people since the weapon isn't a main line weapon in use with the military. Last I heard, it was still in the testing phase. I may be wrong on that one.

As for firing 00 buck (or slugs, alternatively) at range, you wouldn't be too bad to the ranges of which you speak; however, the ranges that people are being killed with the weapon are well outside the weapon's effective range for buckshot loads. Bear in mind, this is in the game. EA needs to accurately model the weapons based both on range and power more than they have. At this point, the weapons are so unbalanced, it's laughable.

For me, the weapons are one of the most balanced weapons compared to most games I've played and I've played FPS's for 13 years. I've tried the USAS a few times and I've been killed by it many times. With some change of tactics and practice you'll see that it's a balanced weapon.

USAS-12, don't need to be nerfed. You need skills if you want to be a better player than the others.
