      <title>Balance</title>

      <description>&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyStart:8b9e9c15-56fe-4c4a-8dfe-edddba16d024] --&gt;&lt;div class="jive-rendered-content"&gt;&lt;p&gt;This has probably been asked to death already, but for gods sake I need to find answers myself. Why is it that some guns remain utterly overpowered, when others are just simply useless? I see many shotguns have been buffed, but they are still useless until you spend 20 hours getting damage on them, at which point they are only slighter better. How is it possible to get 2 hit markers at close range (i'm looking at you, model 1887)? Why is the ACR ridiculously overpowered (if you say that it isn't, and that it's just overused, you are literally delusional), and the CM901 barely useable? Why is the MP7 so blatantly overpowered (this is a no-brainer), whereas the MP5 is just a pea gun? Need I mention the Type-95? You pretty much have to have Assassin if you want to survive longer than 30 seconds. The PP90M1 is overpowered. The light machine guns are actually quite good, but its just too hard to compete against ACRs, MP7s and what-not. Back when I used to play, I'd absolutely abstain from using such overpowered gear, but on the off chance I did finally use an ACR, I got a MOAB in TDM. First game using it in a long time. A while later i decided to use the MP7. First game, MOAB. Exact same thing with the PP90M1. You might say coincidence, luck, my skill (lol), but there is a pattern.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Is this all due to developers being lazy, and just quickly throwing together what they can because they know the masses will eat it up because of the franchise? Do they actually think the game is balanced?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On a final note, I'd like to say that if you actively headglitch, I will find you and I will steal all your belongings and burn them. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:8b9e9c15-56fe-4c4a-8dfe-edddba16d024] --&gt;</description>
