Post: The Ridiculous MP40

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ive heard people arguing about the MP40, and that it takes skill to use. Nah. It doesnt take 'skill' Its easy to hold "R1" (PS3) and sway your analogue sticks side to side and whipe out a room. Takes 2 - 3 bullets to kill? Its far too overpowered and the 10/12 people who use it, know that. With Steady aim the crosshairs are the size of a 5 pence piece(GB). When you spectate people using it, some of them hip-fire at ridiculous distances knowing its going to kill them. I mean whats the fun in running about holding R1? Doesnt it get boring? The only reason I can think of is that people who come top and use it 24/7 think they 'own' at the game in there mind. So they use it over and over. :S You get 10th prestige 65's spamming it with Jug constantly and killing you in 0.5 seconds. Could use ANY gun they want, but the level 10 gun is spammed. You also get people with 'cocky' clan tags; [iOWN] [$Ik?] [PRO*] [2GD!] and not to forget [GOML] but guess what they are using on maps such as 'Seelow'? It makes it almost impossible to kill them when they dropshot/snake which is also becoming a habbit on CoD5. The Dual Magazine has the clip the size of a Browning/MG or even bigger and takes like 8 seconds to run out?! WDF!?!?! Happy I like how CoD5 can 'silence' the grenade launchers 10 seconds into a S&Awesome face match and give us a map like Makin Day before one of the map packs came out, but not reduce the gun that has messed up the game. The MP40 makes CoD5 boring QUICKER. Ive heard people saying "If the MP40 was reduced, I would put this game down for good!" (shows how much they bum it) Feel free. Then maybe players can rank up guns like M1 Garands or Bolt Action rifles easier. Do the makers not understand that 90% of the people who play the game use it? And maybe they should reduce it 'slightly' so its not CoD5:Mp40@War?
I know 'Awesome faceie hard 'MP40 fans arent going to be happy with this, but its my opinion. Winky Winky
The sooner MW2 comes the better.

(And no, Im not crying. Just pointing out how pathetic the gun is.)
What do you think?

MP40 is just a gun. It may seem overpowered, that is because it was that powerful in WW2. It was the most used gun, and the most reliable. Its ability to be cheaply mass produced made it the favorite for the Whermacht. And the way the Whermacht machined the rifling in the barrel made it one of (If not THE) most accurate weapon of the WW2 era (next to the Springfield 306 and the M1A2 SF)

Just use something different like the Gewher. That with Sleight of Hand makes it a great set to handle an MP40.


Nice Wikipedia facts! :O
So the only reason it was made overpowered in the game, so it would be 'realistic'? :confused:

Excuse me....Wikipedia facts?? Really dude....No I just know what the **** I'm talking about when it comes to Warfare and Military History. You gotta know this shit to get into the Air Force Academy. If you'd have paid attention in History class, you might actually learn something.

Edit: And no, I'm not saying the MP40 was made overpowered for realistic affect. All I'm saying is take it like it is, play the game, and quit all the MP40 back and forth Bullshit.

Oh right. I didnt know you had to know things like that to get into the 'Air Force Academy' :confused: Pretty cool though.
So if its not for realistic affect, why did we need to know your impressive facts about the way the MP40 was made. "It may seem overpowered, that is because it was that powerful in WW2" It is overpowered in the game and really powerful, so it kinda is being realistic. The Gun is Majorly 'unbalanced'. Why cant people just accept that, instead of sticking up for it all the time and saying nothing is wrong with it. You dont need to reply back, because I can tell you cba, but whats it like in the Air Force Academy? (If you do decide to reply) :p :cool:

On my way to Air Force Academy. Finishing up the last part of the application process. And, personally I hate the MP40 also, but I hate the complaints about a gun in a game even more...

I prefer the thompson dual mag, that whipps a55. although i have used the mp40 extensivly to get enough kills to rank if im in a hurry. only bad thing with the thompson compared to the mp40 is the ROF.
