List of overpowered weapons - Page 6

So what exactly is the difference between OP and ezymode?

I'll give you an example in the AR category.

The ACR isn't OP but it's easy mode, the Type-95 is OP but in some respect it isn't easy mode.

None of the stats for the ACR drastically stand out in superiority over the others that give it a massive advantage in the AR category or advantage over something in another category that it shouldn't have, ie all the SMG will outgun the ACR in close range, like they should since it's an SMG, yet the ACR will still have it's advantage over the SMG at medium to long range, like it should because it's an AR. Where as the FAMAS and AUG in BO wasn't just an OP AR, it was just OP full stop, they could easily outgun SMG's at close range, making them pretty useless. However the ACR is easy mode simply because it has very little recoil and because it's fully auto, you can just spray like a mad man and still remain on target constantly, it's an easy gun to use that doesn't really require you to be all that accurate or have good control of recoil.

The Type-95 has some stupid logic in it's stats, it's the most powerful fully auto AR (yes I know it's a 3 burst, but it's still technically fully auto) yet it has the joint highest rate of fire which if my maths is correct will make it kill in close range in 0.125 seconds without rapid fire (Whelan can double check, he's good at Maths innit), which is quicker than over half the SMG's nevermind the AR's. But because it's a burst fire weapon, you can't just spam it and be sloppy with your aiming otherwise you will get punished, especially if the guy who is shooting at you is using something like the ACR 6.8, SCAR-L or MP7 with Kick.

Easy mode doesn't necessarily mean it's OP

Oh, I worked out that 0.06 is how long it takes for one bullet to get fired, and obviously at 55 you would have to double it to make it do over a 100 damage. Liam teach me the Math skillz.

Edit: Yeah Whelan, firetime is how long it takes to fire the first bullet, not how long it takes to kill.

This says otherwise. :<

Unless I'm reading it wrong. But to be fair. It stills kills far too quick.

Think you're reading it wrong

But agreed, time to look at some Stacey P.

^ Yeah it is.

But I'm probably wrong here since it was ages since I last played MW3, but can't the Type 95 also have rapid fire?

quote Whelan

I think it's assuming that 0 seconds is when the first bullet is first. Then 0.06 for the second, thus killing him

That would make sense.

Nah Faded, if judging on weapon damage alone then surely everyone would be screaming that shotguns and sniper rifles are overpowered. I mean you could have a 80-45 damage SMG, but if it only has a fire rate of 150rpm, it's going to be pretty useless lol.

hi M16

All assault rifles except the M16 are easy mode, happy now?

I suppose most guns are easy mode for a beast of my stature

All assault rifles are easy mode

Dude, just look at the maps, the only easy mode assault rifles are Type 95, ACR 6.8, Scar-L, G36C and maybe the M4A1 in this game. The rest are much harder than any of the submachine guns because of all the tight corners and choke points. The MP7, PP90M1, UMP45 and P90 are all easymode, and the MP5 a little harder, with the PM-9 being the only difficult to use submachine gun.
