they kill in like two hits, it's ridiculous.
Really, the whole game is horribly imbalanced. Prone is bad as always (who decided prone is a good idea anyway? You can't see loving enemies lying like dead bodies in a fast paced game like cod), SMGs and shotguns are the only guns worth using (provided you use the laser attachment, but hey, score streaks are finally starting to feel a tiny bit balanced!
it's not that it's imba, it's just that you suck loving balls.
smgs are op if you decide to take them head on in cqc with an assault rifle? in cqc, ofcourse an assault rifle is going to go down when confronted with an smg. an assault rifle is not MEANT for close quarters combat. smgs are piss poor beyond medium range. shotguns are the same. it seems like you're running around like a handicap infront of loving automatic fire when you're not supposed to. ever heard of loving grenades?
an assault rifle fires faster than a pistol, has more range than a pistol, and has many more bullets in a mag than a pistol. try getting the jump on people instead of running right infront of them, this is cod, not quake 3.
btw, pistol damage drops after 9m usually.
