Akimbo 1887 Shotguns... hmmm.

Akimbo Rangers are OK, since the range is a bit smaller, and there's only 2 shots per gun, but Akimbo 1887s are ridiculously overpowered. It's not so much that it has range, all guns have range, it's that you don't actually have to be aiming at them, just in their general direction, in order to kill someone. THAT is bullshit.
Aw. Poop. Oh well, I hope you find some other Irish dudes to join you! I can't afford a PS3 but am hoping to get one when Last Guardian comes out (that game is going to be sublime).Ninjamedic said:
This pretty much sums up the biggest problems with the game in a ten second gameplay clip:

What's even more annoying is that it's unlocked at level 67, which basically means newer players like myself are denied the most powerful weapon in the game simply because we are new.miracleofsound said:
Not fair.
somethings can be a bit ridiculous, but being able to dual wield shotguns is out of the ball park redonkulous, couldn't care so much about the power, but the range and the the dual wield is just obsurd.

So much in this game is unfair. I swear this is true - someone hipfire sprayed me with a fucking Sniper Rifle. Reason why is because my Commando Pro (flame all you like, I use it with Lightweight and Marathon) decided that it would dash to my target, but subsequently miss.
I actually get that a lot. Sometimes I get ludicrous kills with Commando Pro but around a quarter of the time it misses completely; seriously, I'm right next to the guy but the knife decides to stab thin air. I can't pilot my own warp, so missing is downright unfair.

Not only are they lethal in close range, but they can sometimes outrange pistols. It's a pretty overpowered class.
Shotguns aren't overpowered, it just requires a different kind of skill than other guns. Some people would rather shoot people from across the map. I'd rather stalk and ambush enemies: follow them, jump across buildings, and wait for the perfect (or funniest) time to kill them.
I prefer mellee and knives in any game, but shotguns are a close second
I wasted enough time on COD to have akimbo shotguns.

Agreed.FightThePower said:
COD4 had a nice balance because you got the AK, MP5 and M16 right at the start, which were the best guns in the game.
Levelling up just gave you new and interesting ways to play, while in MW2 the levelling system widens the gap between the newbies and the grinders.
The accuracy of aiming required to kill with Akimbo shotguns is far less than with other guns.Doctor Robert said:
That is actually a poor point, as the shotguns in mw2 can have massive range, like the Spas-12 and 1887's. You can kill people with those when they are excessively far away (for shotguns at least)
The Model 1887s, especially akimbo, desperately need to be nerfed in my opinion. I personally don't even use the 1887s because they're too slow for shotguns, and when I need a shotgun I need speed, not ridiculous power and accuracy at long range like the 1887s have, so I stick with my M1014. But people use the 1887s in place of submachine guns or assault rifles because they're so overpowered, they function more effectively in medium range than close range. They need to be fixed so they are just very powerful but slow shotguns, not some sort of shotgun-sniper combination.
Is this the FPS equivalent of ganking? Because it is hilarious. However while hilarious for people that harp on about balance, IW has created the least balanced multiplayer I have seen. This is the exact reason I don't touch online multiplayer in any FPS.
