PSX has shown the three-OSA setup to be king of the meta at this point. I'm having Ghosts MTAR / Vector flashbacks. What do you guys see becoming the new optimal setup once the OSA is inevitably nerfed?

Depends on how the subs are buffed if they get buffed decently there would actually be weapon balance without weapon draft.
i dont see the problem with games where one gun is heavily favored unless it's an op pre aim machine like ghost vector
Probably move to the Kbar assuming it doesn't get nerfed to.
Honestly, they should just ban the OSA and the rest of the weapons are EXTREMELY balanced.
Would like to see a slight max damage range buffs for subs, as well as a range buff for the Rek, and the balance would be the best we've ever seen in a COD game.
IMO no matter how even you balance all the weapons, pros with find one with the most benefit and all will use it. It's not exactly a bad thing that everyone uses the same gun, the gun just can't be OP to the point that people are joking each other.
I think the end of AW is a perfect example of this. Asm1 post patch was the best sub and BAL was always the best AR and you used them for certain situations. It goes back to almost every COD ever made. I don't mind it at all.
I am surprised that the classic weapons are not base banned in the first place.
Why? Only the osa and m1 are op. The mactav is an average sub, the intervention is worse than the longbow, and the g18 or whatever is average.

dont think osa will be nerfed because its a classic gun, and they nerf according to pub kd. And since not many have unlocked it, nobody has complained much over on the other reddit
Good point. I just wish subs had more value in IW. It seems like everyone runs the KBAR like it's an SMG.
Everyone who is level 55 automatically unlocks it, you don't need a token
He's saying not many people have reached level 55 yet
Well that just ain't true lol
Yeah, almost everyone is AT LEAST 1st-2nd Prestige (minus Christmas noobs, but that's weeks away)
I think pub players are less likely to try the gun because it has less of a nostalgia factor as well. Everyone remembers the ump, intervention and g18 so they are itching to us them. Not nearly as many played ghosts or loved ghosts enough to want to use the osa, so I think it gets forgotten a bit too
The other Reddit actually really like the weapon balance from what I've seen and were disappointed when the Volk was nerfed because they feel it's useless now. Also, your point about people not having it unlocked is invalid. It is unlocked automatically at 55 and if the Volk was used enough in pubs to be nerfed the first week of the game when it was unlocked in the early 40s I'm not sure how you don't think many people have the opportunity to use the OSA weeks later.
