    SMGs:
    MSMC: Recoil has been increased.
    MSMC: Hip fire accuracy has been slightly reduced.
    PDW57: Recoil has been increased.
    PDW57: Hip fire accuracy has been slightly reduced.

    Resolved network/connectivity issues that could occur in the frontend and lobbies.

    Some great improvements there like the KAP 40 patch but I’m not sure about the two best SMGs being nerfed i.e the MSMC and PDW. As you may know all of the SMGs were nerfed in the last patch when used with silencers. The Assault Rifles also got a bit of a buff this time, looks like the SCAR will be a beast now. The FAL and SMR were nerfed even more with Select Fire, a very good decision in my opinion.
