Holy recoil increase, Batman. Like I don't think Treyarch knows what nerf means. It means a subtle decrease in performance, not a complete degradation.

To clear it up quickly, no I'm not trying to use it for long range encounters, but it should be able to at the very least HANDLE mid range. Not dominate at it, but it should be manageable. Even more so, I've been screwed in closer range encounters because of the massive upwards recoil it has now.

You have the wrong idea of nerf.

Then please enlighten me, because the general consensus of most people is that to nerf something means to make it useless. And that's just wrong. Nerf means to balance out.

The PDW is fine, in fact I got two nuclears with it yesterday. Keep moving and use the environment to your advantage, PDW is still easy-mode.

I just randomly picked it up today and barely noticed much of a difference.

The PDW is still the easiest SMG to use for the simple fact that it has a giant mag. The MSMC has crazy range and needed a little more recoil which it got.

There's actually a reason to use other guns now. The SMG category is much more diverse as well.

I meant this specific nerf. Sorry, I should have been more concise. They didn't completely gimp the MSM/PDW; it's just slightly noticeable increased recoil.

Give me one good reason why a 50 round SMG that can kill in 3 shots shouldn't have severe recoil.

I know! I can use my Vector effectively now, since the MSMC kicks like a pissed off mule.
