No. These are EXPLOSIVE CROSSBOWS! They mix Purrfeclly.
Actually, that just sounds like Noobtubing. Practically identical.
And IMO, that's a very, very bad thing.
You get 2 bolts and it replaces your grenades/semtex. Also I think you have to hit someone for it to go off.

Should be pretty balanced I'd say.

Cross bows are not modern fast or as lethal as a gun.
Have you seen any of the crossbows of a more modern era? Trust me they will fit in well, the new crossbows can be very powerful with high precision and can be repeater crossbows which have considerably faster fire rates than the kind of crossbow you're thinking of. Crossbows didn't die out in the 1400's you know!

If its going to be anything like the crossbows in Half Life and Half Life 2 there'll be a bunch of people no scoping with them all over the place.

I'm calling it now, they're going to be the new Montage weapon.

Also, I don't care! It's a Crossbow! Anyone who is annoyed should really take a look at what they're asking for. We play games for Escapism, and if Escapism means sticking an explosive rod through someone's head at 30 miles per hour, I'm sure as hell for it!

If it works like that, I'm totaly going to use it. I have bad luck with grenades. I tend to hit the very tip of the walls, resulting in a lethal (yet hilarious) suicide. With precision aiming instead of accounting for an arc, I'd hardly use a gun, even without the explosive tips. As long as its not as powerful as the noobtube, I already have my weapon of choice even before the game came out.
Also, crossbows are the third most manly projectile weapon ever, with second place being the gatling gun/minigun, and first being any form of a BFG.

Also, I'm more concerned about the ballistic knife. Sure, it's awesome, but I can already see it being overpowered... I just hope I'm wrong,

Yes, just yes.

(As long as they make it like the Delta Repeater from 007 nightfire)

it would be nice if you got shot you would know and you had 3 seconds till it explodes and you could run at the enemy and be a suicide bomber

Most modern guns used to day were invented for ,or populorized by, the vietnam war. the m16 being the prime example.
The Beretta 92fs, the M4 carbine, and some other shit I can't be bothered to look up right now beg to differ. A lot, yes, but nowhere near most.

Anyway, I was excited, until I was saw they were stupid little exploding crossbows. Fuck, I wanted to shoot someone and watch them sink to the ground clutching the bolt, not have a grenade launcher that sounds a bit different.

Yeah I thought exactly the same thing. It looks really noobish.

The RC car is too early too... 3 killstreak and you get what amounts to a mini predator missile. Totally overpowered, I really hope they do a beta.

Nothing is more absurd than an absurdly sharp throwing knife. If that fits in,then yes,a Xbow will fits in just fine.

I see the ballistic knife as just a straight swap of the throwing knife from MW2.

But I agree about the RC car being like a predator. The only difference is that you might be able to destroy the RC car before it gets you, whereas a predator was just unavoidable.

If their a weapon made for stealth killing, then I see no problem.

Plus, Crossbows are badass, so who cares about practicality?
Actually, they explode after they land a hit. And I found that in 007 Nightfire my favorite weapon was the Delta Repeater, a crossbow. And to be honest, who cares? It's a video game. Crossbows are cool.

They're getting around the whole 'guns not being invented yet' thing by saying that these elite soldiers had access to weapons that were still being designed. I think it's a pretty lame excuse myself.

Yeah and the M24 and the Desert eagle (granted those are both in the 70's to 80's) I'm just saying just because its not modern doesn't mean it's not good. So Exploding crossbows, unnecessary but awesome.

There like Throwing Knifes in MW2, questionable to use but are vastly over powered and included because people think they are "cool".

Fun Fact: The automatic crossbow goes as far back as before christ, and as far today as the early eighteen hundreds. So yes it's practical. I could see it being the riot shield of Modern Warfare 2 though (seems out of place, unfair, ect.)
