Jon's COD rant

**Jon@lbc** · 28 Mar 05, 10:50

What I really hate about COD online is that the weapons are sooo unbalanced you have an 8-shot semi-automatic garand against a 5-shot bolt-action rifle. The ppsh has a 71 round magazine and a high rate of fire. Whereas, the MP40 has a 32 round magazine and a slowewr rate of fire

So... you're not in favor of realism?

They all are balanced out one way or another. You can't reload the m-1 until the clip is empty. I've ran out of ammo at crucial times. Do you fire those last 2 rounds off and hope the enemy isn't close enough to hear it or wait? The mp-40 is a close in weapon, good for building or street fights. Bolt action is slow but deadly, a high damage round. The ppsh is also a short range weapon, once you get any distance and if you hold the trigger; forget it, you miss. I think the designers have tried to balance the weapons around game play and have done a pretty good job. Everyone has a favorite weapon, but you have to look at the map you're playing and take that into consideration when choosing a class.

Well, it's game-related, so I put it here, especially as it's about COD. Not just for post-count purposes.

Yeah...thats how it was. I bet the Germans didn't exactly think it fair when they only had bolt-action and they were trading shots with an American equipped with a semi-auto....Brothers in Arms nerfered the Garand in multiplayer (doesn't fire as fast), and it is really annoying.
