Despite some players believing it is intended for balancing, if it is bugged, it would need addressing by the devs.

That could be a change that comes in Season 6, seeing as that is around the corner. It has already been speculated that the new update is the final global meta shift for Modern Warfare 3’s cycle, with MW2 guns getting some love. Though, we’ll just have to wait and see.
