"noob" is worse

i can deal with noob.

But every single time a game drops ... oh This combo is overpowered ... this character is overpowered ... these guns are overpowered ...

Then ... almost like .. inevitably

I log onto xbl and have to download an update for a game .... and voila .. Raiden is officially garbage now. :beli:

Oh I get what you're saying. Usually it stems from some easy exploit that can be done by varying skilled players. It's a problem because if not given enough time to properly find out if it can be countered or dealt with accordingly, devs unnecessarily nerf weapons, characters and mechanics to suit complainants. It usually backfires as then another exploit is found.

I once killed a dude with a mp-40 from snipers distance in COD-WAW. I was :lolbron: but thats when i knew that gun was overpowered. I would pay money to see that guys face watching the killcam though.

but every COD has an all-purpose overpowered gun. You either play with it or complain when it kills you. Same with fighting games.

I haven't played the latest cod or cod 4, but the mp40 in w@w had to be the most used gun in cod history :russ:

It wasn't a knock on the game though, because I felt that was the most balanced cod gun wise... It's just that that mp40 in w@w was :blessed: straight all purpose gun :ahh:

Nobody realizes that sub machines were nurfed in MW becasue of the mp40 in W@W.
