my honest assesment of the MODs is that they were probably a comprimise. They had already nerfed the EM rifle to my understanding, but I'm sure people still complained about getting 1 shot killed from a weapon with such a short cool down. MODs fix that without further nerfing those weapons and it gives them another oppurtunity to sell some stuff. But, you cant make everyone happy all the time. So some people are very unhappy with this change, but probably less people that were unhappy with the EM Rifles and such.
