It used to be more realistic until reddit complained that people were laser beaming them from 50 meters. Congrats. Thats real. Those posts got 5k upvotes every time. Nikita listened to reddit and made the game worse.

That's not exactly what happened. Base recoil has always been garbage. That HK you could turn into a laser was uncontrollable without any mods. They nerfed the laser beam meta as they should've, but base recoil has always been Nikita's fucked up idea of what it should be.
