Nice Coverage dude,

I am absolutely flabbagasted that a patch could **** up a game this hard. I don't know what the patch is like to play on consoles as tactics are very different from PC.

But on PC, Unless you like using the Grendel,DSG-1 or Marshall then it's pretty much GG.

Why do you insist on repeating this? Broken to whom? The game is now balanced, the fact that Scar was everyones favorite weapon shows for some form of dependency, you can now suceed with any weapon, which points to how undeniably balanced this game was made

Nice coverage btw Cephwalker. But you seem to forget some of those weapons weaknesses, Kvolt accuracy is buffed, but by no means is it mid or long range weapon when you have to "lead".

Because I really care about Crysis, It offers gameplay no other shooter does but it has endless amount of problems, mis steps by the devs and missed oppurtunities.

I am glad for you that you have found enjoyment in Crysis 3 however for me I have reached the end with the Help of Crytek in doing so.

Enjoy your perfect game whilst theres still a playerbase.

Gonna copy my Youtube response:

Before this patch was there really a GENUINE? reason to use anything other than Scar?
Scar+laser should still be highly effective with burst-fire, the gun still has a 6-bullet kill ability and you should have no issues landing those bullets as long as you don't go crazy with full-auto. Recoil keeps climbing because you've got the fire button held down, in reality will you do that? Of course not.
The patch wasn't to make gun "unusable", it? was to? bring it in line for it's damage and fire rate vs other guns.

I don't want them to go back to the old OP SCAR.

I just think they went about "balancing" the wrong way, with some incompetent coding along the way.

I rather like Patch G. The Scar is far from unusable, it simply isn't a sniper rifle anymore and in close to mid range combat it is still a highly versatile and deadly weapon.

The buffed K-volt is a tad annoying since more people are using it now, and it's a pain to be blinded by the darn thing, but that's ok...

The Scarab is a very nice gun to use now, and I won't be surprised if most Scar lovers move to using that gun instead. Should make for a nice change.

FY7 seems exactly the same to me.

The game feels much more balanced as a whole, but 90% of my deaths are still coming from the Rhino and the Bow just as before the patch... :(

K-Volt seems to be incredibly popular on consoles but hardly anyone uses it on PC...it seems that low-recoil is pretty much everything on consoles eh?

I started wondering when Ceph Walka kept saying "you start center-mass and let the recoil carry it up" and I'm all like "bwuh? No, start at the HEAD (first bullet has 100% accuracy, always) and pull the gun DOWN..." but I don't think that works on consoles or something :S
