Sure thing! Make sure to check the spreadsheet, there are already a lot of em coveredOriginally Posted by ManticButton Go to original post
The chica mala and the Warhawk are not in the list, but they perform worse than the fully modded orignal weapons, that much i can tell.

Only thing those bar can be used for is to see if your monitor can display different colors. Other than that, they are completely useless for the player and might aswell be removed from the game, because they cause more confusion, than anything else.
I'm fine with the dev's not wanting to just give the real stats for the weapons so we have to try the weapons out and find which we like to play with. But putting in bars for the weapon "stats" that can be compared with other weapons "stats", is equivelant to giving us players a big fat middle finger while laughing
So, either give us the real stats or remove this crap.

Cool Story. And so refreshing. Well worth necroing a more than one year old Thread.Originally Posted by PziCrow Go to original postOnly thing those bar can be used for is to see if your monitor can display different colors.

Let me see if I can try an explanation... Things were asked about 2 to 3 month after the game was launched and nothing was done about it... you revive the post almost 1 year and 3 months after and still, nothing has been done about it, who's fault is that? the poster for posting it or UBI for not doing anything about it? To me, that is the point.
I can also poke holes at your theory but that, to me, is not the point.

UBI's fault ofcause.
And I have stated no theories. Only facts, so no holes to be poked.
Anyways... If we the players stop caring, then the dev's will just keep giving us pointless ****. So why are you telling me that I'm necroing a post, instead of beating the dev's with a stick for not giving a damn?
I'm not at fault, they are.

This is interesting. Thanks for resurrecting this. It confirms what is largely common knowledge at this point...
1. Weapon stats offer no real insight into performance in the game
2. The SR-25 is a good semi-auto sniper rifle but a few bolt-action rifles are better
3. The MK 17 does slightly better damage than any of the other assault rifles (which makes sense given it's 7.62)
In my testing, the SR-25 is a great choice for an anti-personnel rifle with semi-auto. The BFG-50 is the absolute best sniper rifle for everything as it's as effective as the HTI but offers semi-auto fire. It's just gigantic though.
For assault rifles, the HK 416 is among the best rifles I've tried in the game for combat effectiveness (bullets on target) at short range, although the ACR performs very similarly. The MK 17 (SCAR H) does slightly better damage than the HK 416, but it's barely noticeable in combat due to it's lower rate of fire, and it definitely sucks in reload speed. Where the MK 17 shines is at medium range or as a good compromise for both CQB and DMR making it a good choice for Ghost Mode.
I'm about to start a Ghost Mode campaign, and plan to use the MK 17 as my default weapon of choice in most situations, switching to the HK416 when I'm sneaking into a base where I shouldn't get engaged, but if I do, it will be CQC where the HK416 with short barrel really shines.
