April 22nd Patch update: MTAR nerf, domination spawn fix etc

Is that really a nerf'? Just the headshot multiplier? I think the HS multiplier is now at 1.5. The same as all the other guns. Even if it was nerfed to 1.25x, is that really going to affect it's damage profile?

Looking at the stats, the Mtar is a 3 bullet kill up to 21 or 22 meters. Four bullets anywhere beyond that, 22m plus. Even a 1.25 HS nerf', ...all that seems to be doing is taking away a potential one bullet if that bullet had been in the head. That is, the MTAR could kill in two bullets, if one hit the head. This would be only up to around 15 to 16 meters. Beyond that, it's three bullets. So this nerf', ...how i am seeing it (and i could be totally wrong here), is almost meaningless. It only applies to IF you got a headshot mixed in your kill shot, and the headshot was within 15 meters. 

It's still the most damaging smg', especially when equipped with rapid fire.

Good stuff Stone, so Mtar is still the best it seems.

I have not been closely following the CoD related discussions on Den's board lately. The last I have seen about the SMG buff is this thread: denkirson.proboards.com/thread/7058/ghosts-smg-buffs-04-2014, which is what Stone copied his values from.

Yes, Headshot multiplier is usually not a big deal in CoD, so this nerf to MTAR should be tiny and won't affect the vast majority of the players.

In terms of weapon stats, Marvel4 on Den's board is the master of this stuff and here is the link to his spreadsheet: docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhNxXL3z8i1GdHptLTZXWDNMbFg2ay0yUVV6emFFcEE&usp=sharing#gid=0

When comparing SMGs, range is just one factor. You should also look at damage, rate of fire, recoil etc and see how the weapons match your play style (as well as maps).
