Let's face it. The SMG is useless against a stampede of rifles.

And seeing as people count it as a sniper rifle, then it should weigh like one. People should also move in accordance to their weapon. Rifles, normal speed, SMGs, a bit faster.

This way both weapon classes have both its ups and downs, rifle being powerful with the drawback of a slowish running speed, and the SMG with the drawback of weak firepower, but the ability to outrun riflemen.

However, since a cone has been added to the rifle, which makes sense seeing as normal rifles aren't the precision type, the game should introduce an actual sniper rifle, being highly accurate, with a low rate of fire, along with a slow running speed.

Sniper Rifle - Long Range, Slow Movement, Low Rate of Fire, but accurate
Rifle - Medium/Short, Normal Movement
SMG - Short, Faster Movement

I'm tired.
