One of the biggest interests for me is removing the 8x scope from the M16. Too many people run that as a 30-round DMR, will be good if they can bring the AR's to a position UNDER DMRs again.
Removing the 8x from the M16 and decreasing the firing rate of the SKS and Mini-14 should deal with some of the issues with mouse "tapping" or key rebinding too. IMO the sniper rifles need to be long-distance, single shot, high-damage dealers. I like that they are making these changes and along with the changes to the projectiles in the last patch means that the weapons should be more "balanced" now.
