What trade-off's make a weapon balanced in your mind's eye?

If a gun does more damage than other guns, then it should also have more recoil and less ammo.
If a gun has very little kick, it should have less damage
If a gun has a lot of range, than it should be semi.

Or, think of it like a diagram with 10 possible stars. For each core type of gun, how would you set-up the stars.

Sniper
Damage: **********
Range: **********
Accuracy: ********
Mobility: ****

AR
Damage: *******
Range: ******
Accuracy: *******
Mobility: ******

Sub
Damage: *****
Range: *****
Accuracy: ******
Mobility: *********

LMG
Damage: ********
Range: *****
Accuracy: ****
Mobility: ***

Shotguns
Damage: ********
Range; ***
Accuracy: ***
Mobility: ******

Don't stop with this list, please insert your own list of tunables and assign a 1-10 value with your example guns.

I didn't play the cod games seriously until mw2 but, i like what fistdacuffs goes over in his videos. However, i like the way streaks are like in mw2. doesn't bother me so much. I like the fact that you have a big list of streaks you can choose from to give players variability so you aren't playing for the same thing every time.

IMO i definitely would like to see commando removed, it is a FPS game not a knifing game. If you have noob tubes maybe make a separate game type where noob tubes are allowed/not allowed. If someone has a noob tube attachment on in a game type that doesn't allow it then a message will just pop out saying it isn't allowed kind of like how you can't use your pred missile right away in a new round in Search and Destroy. Also, it would be cool if there was a way to macro your own buttons instead of only choosing the layouts given. i rather be able to put my knife button where my secondary grenade button is at becuz i rarely use the secondary grenade. I don't think custom button layouts would be over powered because its all about preference on how somebody sets up their buttons anyways.

If a gun does more damage than other guns, then it should also ___Kick_____

This was the flaw with SMGs in W@W

Power and Accuracy should always go together, that way the most powerful weapons also require the most aiming ability and skill to be used to their full potential.

Once you make inaccurate spray and pray guns super powerful, the game becomes random hip-spray and no aim/skill.

Power and Accuracy must go hand in hand, counter with a very low rate of fire and capacity. (SNIPERS)

High rates of fire, high capacity, low accuracy, and low power = (SMG) or what SMGS should be.

Again I emphasize making the most powerful weapons also the most accurate. Make powerful weapons require skill to use. If you want to overpower a weapon, overpower one that requires someone to aim down the sight.

Agreed, high power and low ROF typically balance weapons well. I love how having a fast trigger finger can grant semi-auto users both a high rate of fire and power, but mods ruin the whole point of semi-auots.

I think the whole Accuracy stats should go and every gun should be pinpoint accurate. Then replace it with the Recoil Stats.
