    Finally after 9 months the promissed SMGs were realeased. And I realy like them. But there is one problem with them, that many players, who are playing with snipers, are going to Encounter: The knockback of the bullets is INSANE! It's realy hard to snipe because of the lag/knockback when a bullet hit you and most of the time it's not only one smg bullet hitting you. You get knocked back or get stuck in mid-air. In FFA everyone is just hipfire-spamming his smg, so your like dead-respawn-dead-respawn. It's just impossible to shoot back. The SMGs are pretty balanced, but I just suggest to remove/reduce the knockback from SMGs! This way you have the chance to counter them.
    What do you think about that?

    EDIT: Knockback = Beeing knocked back by the bullet when hit.
    EDIT2: Reduce Knockback of the SMGs only

    There is no recoil / knock back on any of the guns.

    He is reffering to the knockback of the bullets.

    He means the knockback you get when you get shot. But i disagree with this idea. I find it pretty strange how someone that gets shot by a rapid firing gun does not slow down by the bullets.

    You can just simply dodge them or shoot back with our spawn protection. The aren't overpowered so you shouldn't have any problems with the spawning.

    I agree. This is very annoying to me.

    My spawn protection is useless if i can't get out of spawn, because I get knocked back.

    But you would die.

    OK, so probably they should keep it, because sniping would be op then, but I still suggest to nerf the knockback just a little bit for the smgs. (They are realy light weapon and shouldn't be so powerfull to knock you back like autos.)

    I'm not so sure about this, I mean it's nice to knock someone off a cliff with the SMGs XD.
