2) M14/DMR
The M14 variants are semi-automatic weapons, and the rate of fire (in real life) is between 700 and 750 rounds a minute.
In game, the rate of fire is very similar, with the weapon being able to empty the 20-round magazine in a little under 2 seconds.
However... in game, the recoil is almost non-existent. I've just recorded this to illustrate:
This renders the M14:
More common than the MK48
More precise than the MK48
A LOT less recoil than the MK48
Much easier to find ammo
If you consider the fact the M14 uses a 7.62×51mm NATO, currently the most powerful cartridge in the game, this makes the weapon overpowered in terms of gameplay ballance.
There's really no reason to ever use another weapon: you can spray it for close, medium and long range targets with the same effectiveness.
No wonder 8 out of every 10 players we come across is carrying an M14/DMR.
Suggestion: increase the recoil of the M14/DMR so it's no longer possible to precisely spray 20 rounds in 2 seconds over any distance. Currently, I hardly ever see players going for precise shots, nobody practicing to increase their accuracy, since they can spray-to-win. Cheap strategy being used by most.
