Forum:M27-IAR: Is it OP?



This topic is to discuss the M27-IAR's abilities.

In my eyes, this weapon is possibly OP compared to other Light Machine Guns. In case you are questioning my sanity for bringing up such a topic, I shall list off the M27-IAR's list of awesome abilities:

1. Fastest reload in its class

2. Doesn't chew up ammunition like the LSAT or Chain SAW

3. Insanely long range, even if silenced

4. Recoil is moderate at most

5. Has a good damage profile

6. Only costs 7 squad points

Literally, the only bad quality I can poke the M27 with is its viability at close ranges being possibly the worst in the LMG category due to the moderate rate of fire and medium damage. Besides that, it has everything to become the wrecking machine in Ghosts. I see this weapon being used by at least 1 player in almost every lobby I play in, and I find it rather frustrating how this thing is the next Mk-48 in terms of popularity and playstyle. As well, the Mk-48 has frustrated me countless times in Black Ops 2, so I consider the M27 to be the bigger brother this time around (as both have insanely long range and low recoil).

Your thoughts on this? Feel free to drop your opinion on it.
