Why a "gun pack" for mw2 would be a horrific idea

[TheSapphireKnight]

What its not like its not already unbalanced in that way. New players are already at a disadvantage and not just with guns.

Besides its already a balancing nightmare. Someone tell Sage, he will nerf it.

 

[Drexlor]

The only way I see it working is a free weapons pack. Now that's NEVER going to happen. I would love novelty weapons.

 

[Uber Waddles]

The idea of a weapon pack would further split the community of that game in half.

Not to mention; your points are fairly valid. They'd either be a waste of time and money, or it would further the balance.

If they add more weapons/perks, make the content free. Although, at this point, Infinity Ward could get away with it; with their general "Who cares about our fanbase" type of attitude.

 

[Tinneh]

They already dropped a nuke on the balance

I see what you did there!

I don't play the Modern Warfare games, well, I played the first Modern Warfare's campaign, but barely touched the MP, so I 'spose I wouldn't buy the unbalancing DLC for a game that I already don't want.

 

[Get_A_Grip_]

What about a monkey launcher?

 

[supagama]

I can't imagine them releasing guns that could kill faster than the existing ones to be honest. You're getting into Stephen Hawkings speed of light territory at that stage.

yep, that sums up the entire game

Well part of my point remains even in that, if you only played with other people who had it, do you think you would see a lot of variety in the guns people would use? Either they would be good and everyone uses them or bad and you uninstall the pack in my opinion

You necro'd a 2 month old thread for that?

On topic. the balance is already messed up, more guns can't change that much. Theres already the no recoil gun, the super overpowered gun and the one shot quick/no scopers.

Here's a novel idea: Make it a patch that they distribute for free in an update.

Hahahahahahahahahahahaha, even I laugh at the fallacy of that idea. Activision are greedy bastards.

I have always wondered why they didn't have a XM8 or the new Ak even thou it's set in the future.

!

XM8 is so badass. Its thudding bass drum racket in BC2 makes me a happy fella.

Really? I hated the XM8 in BC2... The kickback was horrible, the damage lacking and i hated the sights. But, too ones likes i suppose.

If you like guns i hate, means i hate you too

Just kidding.....

You would see about as much variety as you see with the guns right now. Most people I encounter generally uses the same 3-4 guns. Its generally the acr a scar or a sniper. Sure their is the odd person who uses something different but not all that often. Their is a ton of guns that I almost never ever see people using even though they are good weapons.

Well I suppose we both agree on it being a bad idea, but I really just don't see it being necessary. Balance arguments aside, take sniper rifles for example. We have one shot slower, one shot faster but recoil, many shot no recoil, and few shot little recoil. You already have so many combination of traits in the guns in the first place, I have trouble seeing them introducing more weapons that aren't A) reskins B) Useless C) too powerful

Yeah I loved it but only used it for the campaign... mainly because of the awesome sound it made and the way it looked. I use the M4 for the multi though, the XM8 just doesn't compare when you're playing against people.

 

[TerranReaper]

I think it's a great idea. More content to break the balance of the game and more reason to hate the Call of Duty franchise for what it's become. Or if it isn't some overpowered guns, it's completely pointless and it's a waste of money. Take your pick.

Give this a read. Should be enlightening.

 

[Theron Julius]

Oh yes, not enough guns is the issue. How about instead of release a costly update of new maps and guns they release a motherfucking balance update. Oh wait, that wouldn't make any fucking money. God damn Activision is a bunch of pricks. Think about something other than money you assholes! Pardon the excessive swearing.

 

[Singularly Datarific]

I agree with the novelty weapons idea.

Make some pretty average guns that have some funny designs.

Maybe a giant Cucumber Assault Rifle, or an electric flyswatter instead of a knife.

It could work, but you'd have to make sure the guns are funny enough to be worth it.

Killing your friend with a rapidly firing corn-on-the-cob would be hilarious in my book.

Just hack the PC version!

They would probably put laser weapons in the game if they made a gun pack.

why the hell was this guy banned? "Foggy_Fishburne"? He said quote:
"The best thing would be to invest those 20 bucks to create a time machine, go back in time, and prevent that piece of shit and abomination to the word "multiplayer" so-called game from being made. Wishful thinking I suppose. If they're going to release a "gun pack" then it should be free. You can buy alot for 20 bucks, including a old or used game or food or something else that is more neccecery to sustain your life..."
Is that NOT true? i mean I.W. AND MW2 completely, utterly, and obviously suck... in every possible way. Bad host migration, multiplayer games "just ending" out of nowhere, people getting scores like 36-0 with just a noob toob, THE MEANEST, HATEFUL, NOOB COMMUNITY EVER!, the fact that a straight guy would suck a dick for a title or an emblem, the game has had the shit hacked out of it, boosters and modders EVERYWHERE, warp to your enemy knifing ability (gets even worse when you add commando), one man army pro, danger close, scavenger.
I agree with that guy, a gun pack would be useless,it would make the game EVEN worse BUT maybe if they did, it would keep the MW2 & IW faithful community off of Black Ops... you can only hope!
