    Jon's COD rant

    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

    Thread moved - not sure why it was in Off-Topic.

    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.

    CoD is garbage anyway.

    Severly dated graphics, hell, they were dated when it launched, poor AI, unbalanced MP functions, bugs not fixed etc.
