Some Very Confusing Weapon Balancing... (MWIII Season 5 Patch Details)

[@TheXclusiveAce]

UPDATE: Sledgehammer has confirmed they'll be making some adjustments to improve the COR-45 after all of the feedback they've been getting after this patch! x.com/ModernWarzone/status/1816566600989872310

[@lordunidas5558]

The MTZ interceptor isn't a WZ issue. If anything it needs buffs

[@IncredibleFlyinSquid]

Yeah but what about the Kar98? I thought another nerf was coming for that....

[@lordunidas5558]

@@IncredibleFlyinSquid TBH the Kar doesn't need much of a nerf. Reduce range or ADS speed, or buff other snipers for 1 shot kills with plates. In WZ the Katt cant 1 shot but a lil kar can which is stupidity in the flesh. The superi is the problem in WZ mainly. It kills in 4 bullets less than most ARs and can compete range wise since recoil is brain dead to control. Now THAT needs nerfs. Or just a damage nerf. 10 instead of 8 is reasonable

[@Darkhalo314]

The COR-45 was an absolutely unnecessary and senseless nerf. What was Sledgehammer thinking with this update?

[@lordunidas5558]

Also, forgot the CQR didn't have a fire rate issue. Its the Tac stance thats an issue in WZ. I can set up Tac Stance and hit the farthest target reliably with a 7 shot kill at every range I can find. The farthest target(I think 52m away) you might miss 2 shots but if your on target, tac stance will dominate with such a fast ADS speed its ridiculous how competitive it is at mod range

[@Jaryn_Bibb]

The COR-45 got destroyed, the FJX Horus keeps on getting damage range adjustments, the MTZ Interceptor got nerfed for the 20th time… Yep. Standard SHG weapon balancing patch.

[@jacobmiller6916]

Literally no one uses the interceptor anymore. This is why warzone needs to be separate about weapon balancing because it ruins the gun in MP just to nerf it in warzone. Edit:I'm sorry for going on a mini rant but the Renetti with the full auto kit is abused more since they have yet to nerf that kit even though it's outguning ars and smgs up to 40ish meters.

[@vxrage4533]

​@@jacobmiller6916 It actually is already separated from multiplayer

[@MrKing-he3eo]

The horus has the same range and damage values as the rival 9 but with better overall stats. Not to mention the rival 9 was getting range adjustments too. SHG gave up with weapon balance and it's painful.

[@computerwsmallscreen2709]

I think that because Carrack .300 got buffed and therefore MTZ Interceptor got nerfed because of the previously similar damage profiles and the faster handling of the MTZ Interceptor.

[@Muj_7]

"Destroyed" is the most perfect description of what was done to the COR-45. Horrible change!

[@sprucetree7996]

Why are the devs incapable of doing proper balancing. Like seriously the stalker now one shots anywhere but the victus can't one shot to the lower torso. Absolute travesty. Like have they even seen the minibak

They don't want or they aren't allowed to make the game better. What's the point of making MWIII any better if it has enough content to people to be happy for years? They will not buy BO6 if that is the case, so keep ruining the game and ignore the problems, that's the state of MWIII

[@CCPvirus141]

I spend hours playing Warzone on the daily and I can assure you that no one was using MTZ Interceptor prior to the nerf.

[@YungNuisance]

Who is the one guy that’s dunking on devs with the MTZ Interceptor? Because there’s no reason for this.

It used to be a very good high skill gun. Faster than average ttk with exceptional range. I have a 2 kd with it maxed out. Now it is just useless. Devs are high af. Just because a few high skill players do good with it, doesn't mean its OP. Fuck.

[@BetaBreaking]

They adjusted the Carrack, which fills a similar niche. The MTZ has faster handling and movement so I think they nerfed it for for that reason. It's not that high skill players are stomping with it, they have the stats and know who's dominating with it. Probably the same reason they destroyed the COR-45. Macros and jittermods were being abused so they nerfed it into the ground as most cheaters have to unlock the other semi-auto pistols through challenges at LVL 55, whereas the COR-45 is unlocked from the start or early on (with a fresh account). At least that's my thought

[@VoltedXYZ]

I think they just have PTSD of the MTZ Interceptor meta during Warzone 3's launch window

[@sigspearthumb7993]

I’m kinda trash, 1kd average (atleast when I was playing, my poor Xbox 1 hasn’t ran the game well). Loved it bc if I missed a shot the quicker follow-ups were there. Liked to use it on larger maps with longer sightlines.

[@CelestialRose42]

And Ace missed one information for the SPAS-12. It can one shot in semi-auto mode right now.

[@joesackmann5589]

Shouldn't be a thing.

[@BetaBreaking]

Yeh that change made me scratch my head. The only thing the KATT had that made it stand out was on the 1 shot to anywhere in the body and it's insane wall penetration (it can practically shoot through anything and is hilariously fun with snapshot grenade wall penetration shots). Now it's only got wall pen but that's very niche.

[@bigph1l]

Jeez, the COR-45 pistol has been the clear choice when it comes to semi-auto sidearms and it’s now less popular for many people cuz of the pathetic TTK and fire rate even with the ROF-improving trigger attachment and it acts like the Renetti with the JAK Intimidator aftermarket part, but the XRK Stalker buffed its damage multiplier and it’s now my favorite sniper in the game. There’s no doubt when it comes to the XRK Stalker.

[@PTarahb]

I love the COR 45, and it didn't deserve a nerf. I love the XRK stalker, and it didn't need a buff lol. What they should do with the stalker is add the damn weapon charm! It's been missing since the game came out.

[@michaelpacheco6549]

Tbh it did. Beyond 400 ms ads with one of the worst ranges on a sniper in cod history. Literally gets hitmarkers to the guts at 30 meters with the short barrel which is a necessity on multiplayer because the base ads is garbage.

The COR-45 just went from arguably the best Pistol to the indisputable worst. It and the 9mm Daemon were/are my favorite guns to use on MnK. God forbid we have a quick handling and fun semi auto that rewards trigger fingers and accurate tracking. What is rampant are the dozen different one shot snipers/rifles that are as used by people enjoying the very generous AA. How these ones shot weapons remain unscathed patch after patch with more being added is beyond me, but I suppose that easy one shot kills is how they keep "engagement" metrics looking good for the suits.

Did you not see the Kar nerf that obliterated the AA? I RARELY see people using it anymore because of it.

@@VaneWalker specifically in MP, I feel like if they nerfed the handling speed or the 1 shot potential it would be useless.

Statically KVD shoots at the fastest out the three and has the best one shot headshot potential, however the gun is at a weird place where spamming trigger makes it inaccurate, while holding position and tapping fire with KVD makes it less competitive. MTZ might have the worst damage range stat but it's more consistent with its two shots, not to mention with the Carrack.

[@KaguyasBeat]

There is such a massive discrepancy when it comes to how they balance these weapons. They seemingly balance them off of their stats based on certain player groups... if the Interceptor was overperforming in the past and they nerfed it enough to where it isn't... and now no one uses it... those stats don't change... It continues to look like it's doing far better than all the other DMR's. They removed the MCW's headshot multiplier a couple months ago just to bring it back and, for all intents and purposes, they effectively undid the original nerf. They did that because as they said "It was overperforming in higher skill lobbies". Now idk what they consider high skill but sure enough in SnD with my 1.2 K/D... everyone is sweating and abusing this gun in public lobbies. The headshot nerf saw it tone down quite a bit for awhile which was awesome, just to have it be brought back and now it's abused... again. Long story short... they're balancing based off of stats... which a lot of games do, and it always ends up being awful for literally everyone. We're still ignoring the plethora of 50+ weapons that remain useless to this day that have been available since launch.

Patches like this make me think Warzone is the reason CoD MP is in such a strange state

[@viddykhaos2896]

What is gained from the COR-45 Nerf? I do not believe I have ever been eliminated by someone using one in recent memory, and it is likely rare. I have used it successfully a few times but it is a safe and reliable fall-back weapon that deserves no buff or nerf.

People abusing macros

[@theboganhuntersx3878]

So they nerf the FJX Horus and COR-45 into the ground but leave the MCW untouched. Nice one sledgehammer. At least the BAL-27 is useable now.

[@Voltz___1]

The MTZ Interceptor is absolutely busted in the hands of a player who can consistently hit their shots. Feels impossible to outgun so I’m glad it got nerfed again

[@orestodomundo6652]

Someone should make a petition online for them to revert the COR-45 nerf, it’s that bad😳😂

[@ItsCreaidan]

And then, you have to ask this question: Why didn't they buff the sidewinder (ACR .450 Huntsman)? Why didn't they nerf the Rival 9 (Scorpion Evo A3) carbine barrel when going fully automatic?

[@shawnsantiago8636]

i don’t know why but i feel like the kar98 is absolutely terrible now. i keep getting upper torso hit markers, the rechambering speed is super slow, and the kar 98 scope is just completely off

[@SpaceElectrician]

I wish they’d help certain smg’s in hardcore. This game has some guns that are horrible in core to play with and barely usable in hardcore.

[@brinaldi81]

When I think balancing I think bringing weapons more in line with the average with highs and lows in different areas.. not entirely ruining entire weapons from being used ever lol

[@iambane7845]

RIP the COR-45 you shall be missed

[@ivac98]

with the stalker and kat... there is no reason to use them thanks to the mors. so now at least the mors and stalkers have 1 shot in any part

[@SonOfNyx]

Its so odd, its like they want a meta to develop or take hold in MP too, there are too many weapons in this game that feel like peashooters or don't one shot when they logically should.

[@SheeshCDN]

It was the intern’s time to do the buff/debuffs.

[@raptonsoul2557]

Most of these changes weren’t really needed and the weapons that need a buff badly like the mw2 shotguns still haven’t gotten it

[@nikhenry4621]

8:34 id like to see the jak kit from the spam revolver on here. Ive started using it as my main pistol for the cowboy vibes. Not super practical to be fair with only 8 rounds and even with the quick reload it still takes some time compared to most and i usually primary a sniper.

[@kaiserfoxi266]

I always see like the same 5 guns getting used in multiplayer constantly, meanwhile shg is nerfing weapons into irrelevance that people barely use anyway. This game has a heavy meta and they keep making everything else even LESS viable

[@goIdfishgamer]

Why man 5 seasons in and changing the default pistol completely is such a hard choice to understand

[@alexmaurice4274]

Reminds me of tarkov years ago nerfing semi auto because of cheaters. We shouldn’t be punished for their actions

[@shrekkisluv4165]

Every update that they send out makes me enjoy the game less and less. It's to the point now that I can literally only stand playing maybe 3 or 4 match's and I'm either bored or just plain not having any fun no matter what mode I'm playing or weapon I'm using.

[@Cheechers]

SHG said on Reddit they've heard the feedback on the COR nerf and will be buffing it soon

[@mjdsaxkid]

We haven’t prayed enough to the snail!!…. Oh wait a minute?

[@ArcticViper]

The either nerfed or patched the Jak gunslinger akimbo so the fire rate is now back at 400 rpm

[@zacharypump5910]

Thanks for the vid! I see so much warzone content, glad you cover mw3 multiplayer. Also jealous they buffed range on my fav ARs in WZ, but not multiplayer (I mostly play ground war, big maps )
