...the SMG is overpowered.

The rifle is still superior at absolute fog distance, but only by a slim margin. I've exchanged fire with riflemen at fog or near-fog and won with the SMG... not quite as many times as I lost, admittedly, but definitely more often then I really should have. It's made the shotgun almost totally redundant as well... at one point I killed four people within ten blocks of me in the space of five seconds using the SMG, which I could never have done with the shotgun. Any range that the SMG can't cover the spade will handle now.

Add in the destructive capacity of the SMG, and we're dealing with something more like a full machine gun. There's no "S" in "SMG" anymore. At the very least, the gun should have kick to match its punch.

Frankly, I don't really see a reason to use the shotgun anymore, and the rifle's now only good for fog-distance sniping (or, arguably, the extremely pro. We're talking so pro you don't see the need for aimbots, though. Most players, myself included, have yet to obtain such a status).

Now do people understand why I liked it the 0.58 way?
