    In any close quarters match, I find that I keep falling to the DL-44 pistol. I could get a few shots in with the default rifle before the opposing enemy even reacts and I still end up dead. At first I thought it was just inept skill on my part, but its been happening pretty regularly against a large number of players.

    Does this game need a rebalancing patch or do you think in about a week or two every successful player will be running around with this pistol? Also, this reminds me of the Battlefront 2 days where unless you were rolling with a shotgun, you didn't stand a chance online.

    In the smaller maps it is the king of guns. I wouldn't worry though seeing as the MP lead designer retweeted someone saying it needed a nerf.

    Nah. I've had much better luck with the burst fire pistol. The rifles tend to beat it at long range too.

    Edit - I'm gonna backtrack on this. The gun is ridiculous. When the whole of the other team is using it on the smaller maps, it's really frustrating constantly losing out to this gun even when you get the first hit on them. Sometimes players will just turn and seemingly one-shot you. I haven't had the same success with the gun at all though, and I'm pretty good at it.

    Seems fairly OP to me; and even if it wasn't OP it's still annoying that everyone uses it; so nerf it for variety's sake.
