And They Said it Was... OVERPOWERED.

[nofear220]

Every single class 12 year olds make in mw2, and dual automatic shotguns in black ops

Mw2 was a complete fail in every way too, with stacking killstreaks as long as my harrier doesnt get shot down and I dont get killed in the middle of using my chopper gunner, I could get a nuke every round...

Honestly, I have yet to see anyone with the dual shotguns.

Really? I see it far too often, their range isnt the best but it doesnt matter on nuketown.

 

[Karma168]

the 5th sniper rifle in MW2 - more commonly known as the spas 12. seriously shotguns should not be able to one hit kill someone from the other side of the map, even some sniper rifles would struggle

 

[Jelly ^.^]

The Aurora Bombers from C&CG/ZH

Screw them and their invulnerability to ground-based AA fire.

And their 2-hits-kill-any-non-tech-building-lololololol-hope-you're-not-mad bullshiteness...

At least until i learnt the whole zerg-style Technical Rush >.<

Boone in FA:NV. Didn't even bothering carrying a gun after meeting up with him.

hah ahhh ninja'd, this man speaks the truth! i remember when i first got him i'd be chasing down a raider and id be thinking "HA! about to snipe your head off, just let me pull my rifle out..and..wait wtf. there head just got blown off?" *looks back a good mile or two**see's boone standing there already taking out every other raider in a 400 mile radius* "huh..well thenn...guess im not needed anymore.."

The knife since the start of the call of duty Modern warfare titles, As it's someohow more powerful than bullets!!!... Players use the Sprint n stab technique to instantly annihalate other players.. cool as it is the first time you od it, it's stupid! the sprint isn;t interupted by small things like.. say being shot for instance, ive seen players run through full bursts to stab the gunner and somehow emerge victorious, if this was dawn of war or they were super mutants form fallout,
i'd understand, but it isnt; it's Modern woarfare, current warfare, and last time i checked only an idiot brings a knife to a gun fight. knives are supposed to be stealth/skill weapons not instant chepa kill weapons.

The other weapon thats ridonckulous is the flying kick in Fear, i jumped through windows using that kick and still managed to instantly kill whatever enemy i hit in the room. heh, that however i found awesome, because it is actually hard to do without getting ur ass handed to you seconds later.

oh and paladins in warcraft wtf? temporary invincibility, super healing, heavily armored, well able to fight melee, dps, magically able to restore their full life right before you kill em... jerks

I've tried the dual shotguns once myself but them seemed so terrible that it would have been easier to knife the people in range. But ever since I used them I have never seen them again.

Mustang and Sally, .45 pistols that shoot hot explosive death as fast as you can pull the trigger, practically no reload and will dismantle a zombie horde in no more then 2 shots in round 27... damn that was a good game!

 

[Squilookle]

I don't really 'get' the whole overpowered weapon making you want to stop playing thing. It just made victory more sweet when you triumphed over something, and in singleplayer using something overpowered was just fun, and usually very limited too. I mean, that's the entire point of Golden Gun matches!

 

[guntotingtomcat]

cod4, sniper rifle (any) with ACOG at close range.
You die, you're all, like, "WTF"
You see the killcam, "Oh, get fucked!!"

 

[gmaverick019_v1legacy]

The AC-130 in any COD game that features it. Killstreaks in general can be very unbalanced if you don't work on them enough and in my opinion, neither Infinity Ward or Treyarch have.

you know. there's part of me that wants to agree with that cause it's 100 percent true.

but.. (and i know in advance its a VERY weak excuse) its a hell of a lot of fun. i mean, just knowing that my enemies are hearing some man with an arab accent shouting "ENEMY AC-130 ABOOOOVE!!!" makes me giggle.

but its strange cause whenever i use it, the entire frackin team has a missile launcher and blows me out of the sky within 15 seconds. yet whenever its my enemy, my team is too busy running into the open completely content with taking a 105 mm cannon shot to the face.

i had a point in here somewhere... OH YEAH. the whole point of killstreaks is rewarding a player and i definitely believe that black ops is more balanced than MW2. at least in BO you can't call in a nova bomb or some BS like that.

two things. i never could get the dual shotguns in BO to work right. for some reason when put in my hands they are as effective as spitting on my opponent.

and i was the guy that always shot down the harriers.... sorry

good riddance on those shotguns. fuck em.

but i will agree on the harrier part, you couldn't get a fucking thing in the sky with my classes running around, always had cold blooded and ninja on, never took em off, and ALWAYS had a huge ass javelin attached to my back, and i'd find a perfect spot to sit and wait for that thing to even have a pixel worth of material on the screen and id lock on and let it rip.

Haha I switched to a sniper rifle too so I could TRY to beat him to some of the kills, but he gets them before I even see them a lot of times. He's still my favorite companion XD

 

[True Nero]

AMEN! slap a silencer on that gun and you'd have my same class.

but i always kind of preferred the stinger to the Javelin. even though the javelin could be fired anywhere, i always had a hard time predicting where the enemy was going to be or where to fire. but thats not the games fault

Wow I haven't heard from you in ages

Umm, mine would be probably the magnum sniper rifle in Counter Strike.

 

[Ragsnstitches]

Terminators in DoW 2 multi, after the Chaos Rising expansion was just released... holy heresy batman, they RAPED EVERYTHING! (and were lucky to be equiped with anti-rape armour, so it was a one way orgy) Was an "I WIN" strat that almost every SM player strived to abuse.

I could list some other units throughout the DoW 2 patches, but the termies were just impossible, especially for squishy ork players like myself. It got to the stage that the only race able to win even matches were SM.

 

[zega frega omega]

M16 in MW. God I hated that thing.

So, what's one weapon from any game you've played that was so disgustingly overpowered that you just wanted to stop playing?

This is more aimed at multiplayer, but singleplayer counts too.

I would say the Black Ops rendition of the AK74u did it for me, but it's not really overpowered, just really overused. Seriously, there are other guns in the game, people!

That said, the Buffalo Rifle a la Red Dead Redemption gets my vote. One hit kill, super accurate and manageable reload time (considering it's single shot only) and that's one hell of an OP'd gun in my opinion.

Hahah, oh the ak74u. In general, I tend to dislike all the assault rifles and ak74u in black ops, I think they have a bit too much damage with too much accuracy. In general, assault rifles are just a bit good. Though no one I know is clever enough to objectively discuss this and get mad when I jokingly call the ak74u a noobcannon. ^_^

you are right in a way but what is the alternative it is just kind of we either go back to WWII shooters or everyone gets smgs personally I think it works well if anything should get taken out it is grenade launchers.

The alternative is we BALANCE THE GAME. Which is possible, but not probable. Oh, and I do not see too much of a problem with grenade launchers in black ops, nowhere near as much of an issue as they used to be.

They seriously nerfed their damage radius... can't just plop one in a room and hope for multikills.

in all fairness, a genetically engineered super soldier who'se virtually immortal, trained from birth to be a perfect warrior and wearing the armor plating of a tank is goin to be pretty overpowering

but all the races in the WH40k universe (except the guard) are pretty overpowered, from the SM wearing a tank to the orks that can rip it open with their bare hands, the game is full of near invincble warriors. BUT the terminators are excessively overpowered even by these standards.

them and the unclean one are pretty much insta-win
