Use the weapon before u say its OP.... becuase its NOT

I will soon.

I indeed have not used the weapon and as I said: It's not completely OP. It's just that I get killed a lot by them from quite the distance and even as assault I get finished off pretty quickly compared to other guns (so I believe the damage could be a tiny bit lower).

Well maybe try it out FIRST and then call it OP? And like I said, you get killed a lot by MK16 from range cause there are so many in use. What other assault rifles are commonly used? As-Val (crappy at long range) and M27 GI (starter gun, crappy in general).

I switched from the Mk16 to the SAR-21 C today. And I can tell you it rapes the Mk16 in CQC! The Mk16 user will be dead before he can pop out 3 bullets It's kinda weak over medium distances though and totally useless for long range. But as a plus it's much more quiet! I like it so far and I think I will stick with it

Yep, brought mine to lvl8 yesterday, really nice gun if you like to rush. At the moment, i even play it more then my AR-21, cause it doesn't run out of ammo so fast due to magazine upgrade.
Another gun i can recommend ist the ACR, standard version, fully upgraded. Very good for moving shots and a very good allrounder. Looks inferior to the MK16 stats-wise, but I swear it's 10x easier to handle!

Here is the thing...if you are a decent player...you're going to rape with the MK16 SV. It's dead center means you don't need to get close. Plus...for those saying you don't feel like being an assault sniper...well...how about running straight into the field with a bunch of pro snipers. You got no chance to live long without a gun like the MK16. It's not the BEST in close quaters...but I've torn up many players close up with it as well. If you are good with it from far away, you most likely will be good with it close up. No it's not the best weapon in the game... but I don't like going against it and I can always tell who's running around using one from the sound and rate of fire it has. I also know my headshot kills have gone up since I've gotten it prolly more than my sniper gun because it's scope wanders too much since I bought it not knowing you need a bipod.

If you take on a GROUP of pro snipers in their optimal range with an AR, no matter which one, you will die... even if you are equally skilled. Everything else is luck imho.
The smart way would be to wait for an aegis, use blitz or flank... teamwork and so on...

... or flank... teamwork and so on...

This should be your first consideration every time when its about facing multiple enemys with a clear advantage, either its direct firepoweer or dindirect stronger position.


Thats also the reason i dont get the whole debate about assault with "DMR".
You can handle everything in this game atm, some solutions are easy to find, some not and that is where "skill" starts to become important.

Ah and another one for everyone who complains about something is imba and got either no real useful solution to that or just crying out loud if there where no other options.

If you think something is imba, first try to understand why you think it is this way. Most of the time it realy is "imba" but you also got alot of ways to handle "imba" stuff.
Yes it takes effort and will make you a hard living sometimes but in the end will make you a better player that dont feel the need to cry like a little boy but to face things with facts.

Easy solution to Mk16 players. Now the best spots where they can sit on, prevent line of fire to that spots, get close and attack when they cant expect or handle your appearrance/action and crush them.
Preventing line of fire and bringing the enemy to a point where will fail for sure can be achieved in so many ways, just get creative.

First of all, I would like to apologize to everyone I might have offended by calling the Mk16 OP.

I have tested the weapon (Mk16 SV with silencer) and I have noticed the following:

• It's an easy to use and balanced weapon (in terms of bullet spread vs distance and reload time vs fire rate)
• Semi fire is pretty accurate (but not sniper accurate) with steady hand
• Does quite some damage per bullet for the price of the gun (in my opinion) -> but not enough to call it OP

So my answer on the question: is it OP?
I would say no. It's just an easy to use weapon which makes it seems like a overpowered weapon.

I will buy another, higher leveled gun later for comparison.
