Not surprised who started this >.>
guys QQ more. It was completely unbalanced and could be used basically like a deagle. That's not the purpose of a SNIPER RIFLE! Its actually balanced now, so don't change it at all for the love of god.
If it was why was it the way it was for 2+ years? It's still used like a deagle tho..
If Garry stopped breaking the game there would be more options, but it shouldn't excuse making a weapon OP. I could see a damage increase and accuracy increase but not a firing rate or no scope accuracy change.
and Frenchy isn't OP?
First, it was OP to being with, but traitors like it so much that they did not care. Problem is half the game is being traitor. How is it fun to get snielged in the face round after round as an inno? Its not. Sure its part of the game but if you don't get traitor rounds it can be boring sometimes. Mix in the fact that playing on rooftops is already hard enough with the current vintorez, going back to the OP version would make it even harder. I can remember crummy cradle with the original vintorez, it was never fun because you couldn't step outside without dying from one. Whats the point of playing as an inno then?
Second it is not used like a deagle anymore en masse. When it could fire two rounds within in second this worked well, but since its almost like a scout, its balanced enough that there is time for others to get their shots in. Sure some people will unscope headshot, you can do that with any weapon, but the day of one traitor with a vintorez out basically deagling everybody is mostly dead, thanks to this balance. That is valid, because a sniper rifle should not be used like a pistol, deagle etc. Its in the same vein that a shotgun shouldn't be able to headshot from a certain distance.
Third, a Detective cannot go around killing everybody, and is at a severe disadvantage as 1) he is usually the first target. 2) Says detective in bright neon blue whenever you see him. 3)They are outnumbered by at least a factor of two, and that doesn't include any chances of RDM. It makes sense to give him something to combat this disadvantage. Even more so, he has to get close to his target to use a Frenchy, while all a T with the original Vintorez had to do was sit back and hit him three or four times, which remember you could fire two shots in a second.
Edit
Also hell yeah Frenchy is OP, much more OP than Vintar or Scout or Deagle short range
That could be because....its a shotgun! It doesn't do crap worth of damage past ten yards, yet a deagle silent sniper is not op? The old Vintorez was the perfect weapon for short, medium and long range, even with no scope, yet anything thats great at only long range or only short range is op? Really?
