(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok first thing I want to say is that this is not a rant. I will support how it is fair after I say how it isnt.

Ok the first thing I would like to say about balancing is the AK74u. It seems like this gun is overpowered. Everybody uses it. I have seen people that are level 50 and they are using it. This shows that they dont want to stop using it. And it seems that anytime you are shooting at someone with one they always kill you.
Another gun everybody uses is the FAMAS. My theory about that is just that all of the lower levels will unlock it at the same time and use it. Im hoping Eventually when everybody is not in the same average level it will become less popular.

Anything else that you think isn't balanced?

AK74u and why its used ~ Its used a lot by players because it fits their need, it has minimal range and it is great in close combat. And the gun fits for most map layout(s), its great for defense or offense game-play.

Lag - The lag is definitely something that needs to be looked into, it seems as if I am red/yellow bar 2-6 of the games I play. But the thing that is getting on my nerves most is the PbP lag, where if I am in a close combat, I start lagging like there's no tomorrow.

I try out different guns each game, but the guns I stick to are AK74u (because I like to control spawns and kill my enemies, it helps control the outcome and prevents continuous rushing towards the bomb/flag site) .

Basically, top 4 guns:

Famas - Great at long distance and good in close combat (I'd recommend spraying)
Commando - Starting using this gun today and it has great power, really useful if your the defensive type, good strat is to use jumping techniques/drop shot.
AK74 - If you want to circulate spawns or control the outcome, I'd recommend this gun with Tactical Insertion.
Enfield - This gun is sorta minimum for me, but its great for Free-For-All, I'd recommend using warlord and equipped with red dot sight and a suppressor. If you're the campy type, this gun is for you.

I don't understand why everyone is saying the knife range? I find the knife range to be really low.

you have only played mw2 ?
because in comparison to mw2 the knife rang is low but in comparison to cod5 it is really far

I've gone 22-2 with the M14 on Firing Range. 50 something and like 5 on another map in DOM with the Commando. I have them both in my File Share.

It all depends on who's using it, who fires first and who gets the most hits in. Just because a gun is overused doesn't mean it's unbalanced.

I think the Ak74 and the Famas are both balanced, they are just used more because they are easy to use, and are unlocked early. I haven't noticed getting killed by the ak74 that much at all, the famas a little more, but only because it is so common, not because it is overly powerful. Knifing definitely has been nerfed compared to the two MWs.
Unless I get in a range/gun mismatch, I find that there isn't really a gun that outpowers and makes a worse player beat the better player more often.

I find it very hard to get a headshot in this game. I think alot of it has to do with lag. There is a few games every now and then that i can get head shots pretty easily but 80% of the time the lag is so terrible i aim for the head and it hits their lower body.

The one thing I think is unbalanced is the China Lake. Pump Action, you start with 4 rounds with Scavenger Pro and you can resupply the ammo using Scavenger...

Oh, I only played cod5 like twice because I hated it haha

knifing is Bullsh*t!!!!
