LOL I never said they beat me, you got the wrong person friend. I win 85 percent of the time i play it doesn't matter if they use acr or not. IM GOING TO WIN. BTW Just becuase you've played many hours does not mean you are not a noob, I've seen noobs who have 20 days played and they get a real nice spanking with those 20 prestiges.

Hey i'm kinda new to COD, MW3 being my first cod game. Most of my gaming roots have come from halo and battlefield, so i decided i'd try to see what cod has to offer. I've already prestiged and i've mostly been using the M16,P90 and MSR. The only complaint i really have is everygame i play theres usually at least two people using ACRs or MP7s. This is fine but for a game with many customizable options it's sad to only see these two guns everywhere. I've gone onto youtube as well and most commentaters have used the guns for the majorty of there videos. Do these guns need a nerf? There not really OP but there so overused

why in the same breath would you ask if these guns need a nerf and then proceed to say that they are not op just overused...

never mad, son. check the hours played before you say noob. played the hell outta this game.

but without noobs, the game doesn't grow. and who would pad your precious k/d ratios without the noobs.

yall just get mad when they find a weapon to beat you with.

i play for fun and if someone kills me i respawn. i don't cry on message boards about the weapon that killed me. i try to adjust so it doesn't happen again. when i have had enough, I go back to the real world. it's a game. treat it as such.

I've been rocking the m16 since the patch and nothing is more satisfying than getting a triple kill with an m16 while your opponents are running around with those guns. The m16 is triple burst kill now but you must hit the upper chest or head, depending on LAG comp.

im not a shotgun user so i cant answer that one , i dont mind the shotgun lads is something different in my book , it just that striker super speed and the height they jump , but not all people play fair so there could be some sort of glitch or something to get them like that .

completely agree. funny how someone here thinks the arc is a "tryhard" gun yet in another post said person talks about using the striker. Must take a lot of talent aimlessly pulling the trigger with a semi auto shotgun right error_6_?

Not really. The ACR and MP7 are weapons that anyone can pick up and be decent with because of the way they handle. I wouldn't call them try hard weapons. Just guns that are easier to use then others.

not much of a problem, just that the ACR is really OP.. the fact that i can use it to kill a sniper that isnt paying attention to me across the map just justifies that.. but most Assault rifles are able to do that.. MP7s and ACRs are commonly used because they are powerful overall (mayb except MP7's range), even MLG pros use it so most players use it because they use it. mayb u try using them?

if u still run into this problem even after using them, thn switch up ur style, ACRs are useful almost in everyway, so try to kill them before they see u/shoot at u.. MP7s, just shoot them from far, avoid close counter gun fights

What is most important for you when you play MW3? Leveling up? Experimenting with weapons? Getting the objectives? KD ratio? WL ratio? If I'm trying to win a game, or level up as quickly as possible, I'm going to use a gun that is most comfortable for me...I don't care what it looks like, and I don't want a gun that kicks like a mule, or runs out of ammo too quickly, etc. I want to win, and that means I might employ the ACR or the MP7.

You can call me a noob or whatever you want, and I'm not the greatest COD player, but I'll use whichever gun I want...Thanks!

Solution: Whip out your Type-95 with (favourite attachment here) and Rapid Fire and make them all rage. That gun with those attachments is so OP it makes even the ACR and MP7 feel like piles of garbage. I am a 1.1 K/D player that used a Type-95 with Red Dot and Rapid Fire on the off chance once and got a 3.2 K/D.

You'll out-gun them every time.

You know, that's a good point...I've never held a Striker but I have held other shotguns and they are NOT light...why do the shotgunners run like Usain Bolt?

Not necessarily directed to you nitropheonix (like the name btw. I used to live in a town called Nitro) but everytime I hear one of these the ACR/MP7/whatever other gun you like is OP sessions, the guy complaining always talks about how they prefer to use a more challenging gun. Well isn't part of using a more challenging gun finding a way to out gun your opponent? It seems to me that what people are really complaining about is that the challenge that they've chosen for themselves is too great. Personally the only reason that I care about what gun my opponent is using is so that I can employ the appropriate counter measure to defeat them. I kill ACR/MP7 users just as easy as AK47 and MP5 users. My tactics my change a little but they change when I encounter MK14 and Type 95 users as well. Its a game of strategy and everything in it has a counter. I've complained about dropshotting because the lag comp delays the fact that the enemy has dropped info until after you're dead. It's also counterable even with the lag just by dropshotting myself. If I really wanted to quit getting killed by it I would just change my controls over to tactical and then I'd be annoyed more by the panic knife. I don't look for or need the devs to change it. I'm perfectly content with the challenges that I've chosen for myself. Again this wasn't directed at your post particularly. It just seemed like a good lead in for what was on my mind.

I'm just waiting for someone to call me a pistol n00b and I will have been accused of n00bery with every class of weapon in the game...

The KSG-12 is my baby. Haven't touched the striker since I golded it about 5 weeks ago - barely have more than 1500 kills with it. Of course If someone leaves one lying around I'm not above picking it up.

Re: ACRs and MP7s are Everywhere

donotreply@activision.com — Tue, 21 Aug 2012 11:35:25 GMT

I'll agree, i hate seeing ACR and MP7 all over the place. I even rib my friends saying that those guns require no skill. But it's somthing that you gotta deal with. Not to sure why many people don't mention the Striker, this is another ridicuously easy gun to use. Some guy the other night went 53 kills on domination with the Striker and was bragging big time. I challanged him to bring out a Spas 12 or a KSG in the next round. He went 12 - 47. I like the challange of trying to use harder weapons. I usually use CM901, AK47, MP5, PM-9, Spas, KSG. Even when i snipe i try to use Dragunov or RSASS. I went 99 - 37 on Mission (Dom) last night with a PM-9. Problem is, to many people would kick off if they nerfed the ACR and MP7. And this close to Black Ops 2 i'd be suprised if there was any change to those guns.

there overused as they are good guns... acr is incredibly accurate in long distance and is pretty powerful and the mp7 is very powerful and has good distance that is why people use these guns because they try and get easy kills.

Most players are casual gamers that only play a few to 10 hours a week. They don't really care about what is OP, they care about what works for them because when they get in a game they just want to do well. They don't know about guns getting nerfed or buffed. They don't know this forum exists. They don't know who IW or Treyarch is. All they know is they're playing a game and having fun. They win great, they lose, it happens. I don't really have a problem with them.

The players I don't like are the ones that have ten classes with only 2 different guns, a Silencer on every gun, Predator, Attack Helicopter and Reaper, talk **** in every lobbby and always play in a party of six.

Those are the players that make the game unenjoyable because I really don't care about how good (you think) you are. And just because I leave the lobby it doesn't mean I'm scared to play against you (hello, this is a video game), it's because it's not fun to play against you. Competition is fun at any level, just don't take it so seriously.

thats all i ever see in the final killcam, an acr,mp7 or a pp90. im kind of new to the cod series, but i have noticed that the games have a few guns that are just superior to the other guns. people can use what they want to use i just dont like when you brag about how beast you are and you are the man when you are running around with one of those three guns. i would like to see you go just as good with anything else and that usually doesnt happen or the person starts lighting into me saying how bad i suck and i could use what i want to or they try and fail and go pick up the good ol guns again. i use the acr a bit, was a fan of it in mw2, i have started to use the type 95, a gun that was hated before and still is but has become my equalizer for the quickscopers and the users of the trifecta. next time someone is going beast with one of those guns ask if they could do it with something else and see the reaction you get.
