Shotgun bullets don't just go three feet and drop. xD
There's a difference between over-powering a weapon and adding a sense of realism.
If anything, handguns aren't powerful enough. It takes two hits to the head to kill someone with a handgun in the game, and that's a bit odd. Shotguns, however, I do agree that they are quite powerful, but people rarely survive shotgun blasts in real life. >_< And there are shotguns that shoot 60 feet, and then there's the ones that shoot 60 yards.
I think IW did a fine job with those guns, but they couldv'e been a little more realistic with the handguns and main guns. Shotguns and sniper rifles were done just fine, though. The Intervention might be a bit over-the-top, but then again, snipers are usually a 1 to two hit kill in real life as well.
I understand where you all are coming from though. 'It's supposed to be a video game, not real life', and I do agree that it doesn't have to be as realistic as it sometimes is, but I don't agree that anything is over-powered.
When you're in war, you don't scream into the mic calling someone a 'gay ****ing noob-tuber', you're dead.
As for quick-scoping, I'm not like 'well it's gay' or anything, but it is kinda exaggerating. xD I doubt snipers do that in real life. Haha.
