NC population. We have the advantage on zero servers. The community has fled NC because our unique faction advantage is not unique or advantageous.

The per round damage is not enough to compensate for the recoil. The stats back this up. Across the board our accuracy, TTK and overall kills are lower by a statistically significant amount.

Additionally, latency compensation does not stack well with our slower rate of fire. I believe that is the crux of the issue. While the math may work in theory, theory crafters fail to account for latency compensation, which always favors rate of fire and accuracy.

Unless we get some love soon, I fear this is going to become a two faction game. Based on the WDS scoring, it may be approaching that already.
