(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); If every gun, and every perk were perfectly balanced out, the game would be boring. They also don't make a gun over powerful or unfair for no reason. If a gun is really overpowered than it's because that's how the gun is in real life. In the real war, do you think people complain about the ACR being too powerful and too acurate? No, because that's how the gun is made. You can't ask the real maker of the Sniper rifle to make the snipers a one shot kill. It's where you hit them that depends on if it is a one shot kill or not. Also if you think this game is supposed to be a resemlence of real life, than you are wrong. There are no perks in real life, and there is no respawning.

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that guns are overpowered for a reason, and there is no reason to take the damage away because some children cry about them too much. So maybe chill on the threads about reducing the guns range/damage and just deal with it, or else go out into the real war and see how long you last rushing them with your sniper rifle trying to quick scope.

That's not true at all. If I shoot you in the stomach with a pistol from semi-long range, you wouldn't die if you got medical attention. Or if I shoot you in the foot.

But, A .50 Caliber rifle (Intervention and Barret) will always kill if hit above the waist. Getting hitmarkers when you should kill them is really annoying.

lol than why tell people to go out into the real war? my brother is a marine n he still plays shooting games cuz its a type of game he can relate to. n war is different, you have to follow orders. doubt they would put someone out there who isnt ready.

@Psycho: i agree with you, getting shot below the waist wont kill you

IMO Any gun should ALWAYS be a one shot kill in the head.. I doubt anyone could get shot in the dome and walk around and kill people.

i changed my post cos i knew this would be the response i was going to get, if you get shot in the head 99.9% of the time you die, no ifs or buts, seeing as this is an arcade shooter based on war (terrorist) then you would be going for head shots everytime, hence 1 shot kills, i stand by what i say though, your wrong

p.s a .50 cal barrett Rifle will most likely kill you where ever you are shot in real life, it will blow a chunk of you away, if your hit in the leg your most likely die from shock and if not you will bleed to death

Well I meant dieing instantly, bleeding to death would take a few minutes.

And are you saying in real life you would always aim for the head, or in the game? Because IDK about you, but I just try to get the kill. I only actually try to get a headshot when his back is to me.

yes bleeding to death would, but while thats happening you wouldnt be in a position to fire back a-la last/final stand

in real life ud go for head shots, cos lets face it, in war, you'd want to kill the enemy before they kill you right? going for headshots is the quickest way and conserves ammo, after all theres no respawn in real life :P same can be said for FPS games, even though its an arcade shooter the princible is the same, head shots over body shots always kill quicker and most effective way to play

I agree with what you say, I every gun was a 1 shot kill in the head, I would be aiming for the head also.

erm its a game...the guns arent suppose to be as powerful as in real life...COD4 and WaW's guns powers were perfectly fine, it took more skill to kill someone, MW2's guns are way overpowered, most of the time they kill in 1-4 shots
