User blog comment:AntiScootaTwo/Advanced Warfare patch for Xbox One and PlayStation 4 released today/@comment-23780890-20141205024331/@comment-24756040-20141205235508

It's actually been tested to have a shotgun-esque range, alongside the BAL and the ARX.

I don't know if Dickhammer Games thinks it's a joke or not to give AR's a weaker range than SMG's and the Tac-19, but they're really looking dumb. Not fixing previous problems (MK14, AMR9, some out-of-map glitches) and making new ones (nerfed HBRa, OP EM1) really sounds like a serious problem.

As well, the AK-12 and IMR sitting all pretty over there without any adjustment and is now the go-to AR for Advanced Warfare.
