Just wondering, after I got unlocked it I have been using it almost exclusively. It feels like the best gun in the game. Its so good that it made me switch from support to assault simply because ive done _so_ good with it. I havent really played with any of the other weapons but ive been wondering. If it is the best gun as assault it seems sorta scummy that they would make it the last gun to unlock… really scummy actually. ---

I like using a multitude of guns, but I’ve grown quite fond of the bulldog and have been using it almost exclusively since I’ve unlocked it. ---

Stat wise, it’s great. Some people just prefer the “feel” of different guns in terms of ROF and recoil. ---

I used it for like a week straight when I first unlocked it. Still remains my best weapon on battlelog ---

Not really, but I am a fan of the SCAR-H. 4hk at long range, 3 at close is pretty sweet. ---

I might be wrong, but I’m pretty sure the L85 has similar stats, but being a bullpup design, you can move slightly faster when ADS. ---

I used to play esports in bf4, and there is a reason why the scarH and the CQB 52 are banned in ESL matches while the ACE 23 is not. If you get the tapping and recoil control of the scar correctly, you will be instantly downing people they will start calling hacks on you. It’s also very good in all ranges with an immense hip fire accuracy. Same goes for the 52 but has higher damage drop off in long ranges. ---

The AEK has a much faster fire rate without the reduced mag size of the FAMAS. If you are anticipating close range encounters the AEK will outshoot the ACE 23 most of the time. ---

l85 has lower accuracy but higher rate of fire. Higher stability as well. ---

Well ace 23 is indeed good. When I unlocked all the guns, which didn’t take me too long, I started with ace 23 and got so many stars but then I went back to the other guns to unlock all the attachment. Then I realized each guns has u pique features and feels so depending on the map I like to switch up the guns. Ace is good in most cases but it’s overall well balanced gun not necessarily the best performing gun in any categories. ---

It’s a great gun. Being at the end of the unlock tree only makes sense really. Why put the best all around gun in the middle? I’ve moved on to the Bulldog personally now. I know it’s accuracy is supposed to be a problem, but it appears that it’s broken in the same way I am so it’s working out nicely for me. ---

For assault it’s the Ace or scar for me. Didn’t have much luck with the so called OP bulldog ---

The JEW 23 sucks BALLS. A good assault with the SCAR H or bulldog beats everything else. Only plebs who can’t control recoil take the ACE over the SCAR when they have their tryhard pants on. ---

If you haven’t really played with any of the other weapons then how can you say that the ACE 23 is the best gun in the game? The ACE 23 is garbage. However, everyone has their preferences. So, to each his own. I prefer the UMP. ---
