The Battlefield 3 developers have officially spoken on the hotly debated USAS-12/frag rounds issue. Many
BF3 gamers have made the shotgun's power well known and have been urging DICE to adjust the gun. If you've played Battlefield 3 in the past two months, you may have noticed the oddly powerful shotgun as well.

Now when will this update be? We're expecting the next Battlefield 3 patch to come sometime this month.

Honestly, LMG+Assaultt team versus USAS-12+ammo support team in Metro - who will won??? There is your answer...then it will be "USAS" map, not Metro map anymore.
I'm not saying nerf this gun or remove frag rounds. Bring more power for other guns, because some of our favorite rifles and lmg's were nerfed after patch.
It's like when you are playing chess, where enemy has full of queens, and you have normal units on your board - how will you safe your units against queens??? There is no offensive at all!

Frags are the problem, not the USAS. They might as well remove it completely, no way to nerf them without making them completely crap anyways.

Why not make it so when you get hit by a pistolround in the foot you should be rolling around on the ground in agony screaming for help. Like you should do in real life........
Cut the fucking nerfing already and focus on the big problems for fuck sake.

Agreed. I've noticed that the USAS+FRAG combo makes people play the game like Modern Warfare. Run into the enemy group head-on with trigger down just to get that K/D up. Removes all tactics with/against it.

I had a feeling when the IRNV got nerfed it was more down to USAS+frag+IRNV combo rather than the IRNV.
It was when I noticed everyone catching onto the frag rounds thing that I noticed the IRNV becoming more popular.
I dont know why everyone cry's like babies. OP Metro is a NOOB/COD style of map anyways and thats really the only place it gets over used...
Like already said stop wasting time nerfing everything popular because its just a viscious circle and you'll just have to nerf the next best thing when people move on.
Get fixing the real problems in the game..
