Comms for Stat Anon (Updated on 25/09/2024)

Anon, what can I say? You have absolutely outdone anything I have put in the Guide up until now. This looks a lot more concise and most of all - gives a very nice top-down overview of all weapon's stats. I tip my proverbial hat to you, good sir!

I am looking forward to seeing all of that in the guide :)

I'll stay tuned and be ready!

    • General notes: several shorthands have been properly formatted;
    • Broadside Jawbreaker Kit:

Patch 4.0 (30/03/2024) Easter Edition

• General changes:
  • The entire guide has been rewritten and formatted accordingly. For more details please refer to Stat Anon's Patch notes;
• QoL changes: as follow-up to previous patch I have realized that some of the hyperlinks did not show up in entries, however that's been rectified and (hopefully) should improve overall UX;
• Visuals:
  • You may have noticed a new logo - that has been added to commemorate this substantial update;
  • Modern Warfare II 2022 (TM) logo next to its corresponding weapons has been slightly colored to make it more distinct;
• Glossary of shorthand
  • Minor changes to info boxes have been made in order to make them stand out more; each box now has a header that corresponds with its contents;
• Weapons
  • LMGs Remaster/Expansion: MWII LMGs have been meticulously tested and added to the guide❗
    • Holger Burnout Aftermarket Kit entry has been added;
    • Holger Backsaw Kit miniature update: the icon has been changed to reflect how it looks in game;
• Misc (this one is rather for Stat Anon - should you wish to make changes on your side):
  • Typos have been identified and corrected*:
    • SO-14/M14:
      • Cons: ironsights to iron sights;
    • Longbow JAK Tyrant 762 Kit:
      • Cons: noticable to noticeable;
      • YMMV: ironsights to iron sights;
      • QRD: ironsights to iron sights.

*If one thought I had nothing better to do than just sit and scour the text in search for vocabulary errors... they'd be correct! It's nit-picking at this point, but I couldn't help it. Mea culpa.

3.5 patch (19/03/2024)

• The entire Battle Rifles section has been updated;
• QoL changes: links have been added underneath each weapon section to allow jumping between it and Table of Content, i.e. faster navigation;

3.3 patch (22/02/2024)

• A fix to the title of the guide displayed in your browser tab (as per one anon's recent suggestion) - now it should say "MWIII Weapons Guide" above Glossary of Shorthand
• Machine pistols: Alternate title has been altered;

• Various stat formatting errors have been identified (courtesy of stat anon in no small part - thanks again!) and necessary fixes have been implemented:

  • ARs:
    • DG-56: "No Drill Fastbolt" changed to "No Drill UBL",
    • FAMAS, Cons: UBLs stat in is now properly color-coded.
  • SMGs:
    • Notes: "Unsplit" in the Stockless Floors note was not color-coded, it has been fixed,

    • Swarm, QRD: TTK stat color-coding has been removed.
  • Sniper rifles:
    • Notes: "WiCs" stats were not color-coded, this has now been corrected,
    • Longbow Tyrant, YMMV: Split Handling stat was incorrectly color-coded as Handling; right now it is properly formatted.
  • Handguns & Revolvers:
    • X12, Pros: "Lo-Cal(s)" stat was erroneously color-coded, it has been fixed.
• Typos in the following have been corrected:
  • X13 Auto, Pros: ("noticably"),
  • Longbow Tyrant Cons: ("noticable").
    

3.2 patch/hotfix (19/02/2024)

• SMGs: RAM-9 entry has been added.

3.1 (17/02/2024)
This one took significantly longer, I do apologize. I hope it was worth the wait.
To Stat anon: Thanks for pointing out entries that needed updating. Saved me so much time I could use it to procrastinate even more in the evening!
And I have a favor to ask of you: if you could, at your convenience, take a look at the latest entries (and guns & revolvers) and see if I missed/mistyped. I will do this on my end as well, but four-eyes policy always works.

• New Aftermarket Kit entry:
  • Longbow JAK Tyrant 762 Kit (gee, there's so many of them rn);
• Glossary:
  • Undebarrel Launcher moved to "Attachment" section alongside Rechamber and Fastbolt;
• Guide formatting:
  • Snipers: Longbow entry's been updated: YMMV now shows properly formatted Split Handling Floors in YMMV section;
  • Glossary: Unsplit Handling Floors stat received separate color code to diffreantiate it from Split Handling Floors, further improving visibility;
  • ARs: MTZ-556 entry shows properly color coded "TTK" stat in Pros section; Holger 556 - properly formatted QRD section - stats are no longer color coded;
• Fixed typos - misspelled "#-taps" now changed to "#-tap" in the following weapon entries to keep the consistency across the entire guide:
  • BRs: Sidewinder, Sidewinder KIT, MTZ 762,
  • DMRs: MCW 6.8 Full-Auto AM Kit - (Cons), DM56/SL8 (Cons),
  • Handguns & Revolvers: COR-45 Binary Trigger, GS Magna (Pros), P890 (Pros), X12 (Cons), Tyr Beholder Kit (Pros).
    (seems like I missed a few in my 3.0 patch)

Hotfix 12/02/2024

• Longbow/"AK-Bolty7" corrected description
  > "TTKs" in Pros section properly color coded
• X13 Impact Point typo
  > "floors" are properly color coded
  > Pros section entry has been corrected

3.0 (10/02/2024)
Another patch, another layout rework. An artist never rests on laurels.

• The guide has now been updated to include ARs/AR rebalancing as of Season 2 patch release;
• New Stats have been added to the Glossary, namely: UBL restrictions, Split Handling Floors, Stability, as per Stat anon's conclusions from collected data'
• The separators between each of the sections have been replaced with new ones (those of us who might not be in the know I will divulge it's a homage to 2009 Original Modern Warfare 2);
• A few typos have been identified and corrected to remain in line with the Glossary;
• Holger Buzzsaw Kit is currently locked therefore I'm working on my own placeholder atm, unless SHG beat me to it (highly unlikely tho). Also, its miniature icon in menu is DEFINITELY not the final one, or maybe who knows, it's typical of a CoD game at this point;

Stat anon - quick info on the typos
There were a few errors in wording related to "taps" so I went ahead and set them straight (I generally CTRL+F-ed and replaced "taps" with "-tap" ), but FYI here are the entries I found them in:

AR Notes & TAQ Evolvere/FN Evolys (7.62) Cons - ("5 tap")
Pulemot/PKP Pros ("4-taps")
Sidewinder "LMG AM Kit (Relative to BRs, will do relative to LMGs another day): I think it was in Pros ("2-taps")
DM56/SL8: Cons ("2-taps")

Timeless classic, TPB. Nice catch :) FYI, the yt vid you linked I believe I had faint recollection of having seen before, so thanks for refreshing that dusty memory.

Thank you for your input on icon positioning. I finally went for centered alignment, for now at least. We'll see if it sticks.

I will work on the credits - much appreciated for your recommendation ^^. I already have an idea how to go about that section.

Hotfix (09/02/2024)

• YMMV parts were incorrectly positioned, that's been fixed

2.5 (07/02/2024)

• Added MWIII and MWII logos - with the introduction of MWII's weapons within Sniper Rifles category and more weapons from base game (le epic MWIII/DLC joke is in order) moving forward
  each of the weapons will have the according logo attached in the right hand side of their respective section
• With the above addition in mind all the name of each weapon were moved to the center in their respective section
• Redone some weapon icons:
  > in few instances they have been completely redone
  > all icons updated to higher image quality (I know it's not even that noticeable to a regular human bean, but trust me the difference is there)

2.3 (06/02/2024)

• Added full Sniper Rifles class data, including MW2 weapons;
• Icons for Striker 9 and Striker were switched and are have now been properly assigned (thanks to one anon's sharp eye!);
• Table of Content:
  > Alternative Assault Rifles header changed from "AR Fun Facts" to "Wannabe Pirates"
  > Alternative Handguns & Revolvers header changed from (never asked for Human Revolution) to "(safety: Always Off)"
  > DMRs: After careful deliberations over countless hours with English Linguists the decision has been made to correct the error that was "Marksmen" and the word shall henceforth
  be visible as "Marksman",
• Rival-9: header name properly shows real-life weapon name - Scorpion EVO 3;
• Moving forward, YMMV section will now be treated as an addendum to Pros/Cons and therefore will now be presented without the blue infobox;
• Holger Aftermarket Kit moved to its initial spot in the AR list to maintain the original concept;
• "Spread/Bloom" stat has been changed to "Spread" only,
  > Fixed formatting for the stat where "spread" wasn't highlighted as it was intented in the code;
• Descriptions:
  > X13 Impact Point "Kit": "floor" stat in Cons now properly color-coded.
