Is the XM8 good? No, everything else just sucks.

Hi. I’m here to drop a suggestion.
Not one of those dumb ones like “add a space map with dinosaurs and helicopters.”
This one’s simple:

The XM8 is killing the game. And not in a cool way.

We all know the cycle:

A player reaches the points to unlock the XM8.
He equips it like it’s the second coming of Christ.
Never touches another weapon again.
Stops thinking. Stops aiming. Stops playing. Just clicks and feels pro.

So what happens?
It kills in 3 bullets.
It doesn’t flinch. It doesn’t miss.
You die before you even realize you're being shot.

The XM8 isn’t the highest in fire rate. It doesn’t have one-shot damage.
But the mix of decent damage + ridiculously consistent accuracy + no spread makes it the perfect weapon...
...to ruin the rest.

No recoil? Barely any. Just like most rifles.
Range? Doesn’t exist in this game.
Bullet spread? Only on shotguns.
So yeah, every rifle is a laser, but the XM8 is a military-grade precision beam.

And then this happens:

All top players use it.
Every mid player spams it the second they unlock it.
No one tries other weapons.
The moment someone has 8,000+ points, you know they’re using the XM8. No mystery there.

Diversity? Creativity? Playstyle?
Nah, everyone’s just an XM8 cosplayer.

So here’s the actual suggestion, devs (if you're still alive):
Please review that thing.
You don’t have to delete it, just tweak it enough so the rest of the arsenal doesn’t feel like garbage in comparison.

And for those who get offended by this:
Don’t worry, no one’s saying you’re not “good.”
Just that... without the XM8, you’d probably be average at best.

Thanks for reading.
See you in the lobby—with your lovely XM8 and your zero effort aim.
