Ok i use the FMG's but with my sniper rirle. i cant / dont know how to quickscope to whilst moving around i'll pull out the kimbo FMG's. i do not however run around with them as a primary like some plp cos i like sniping, just sometimes hard to find a decent spot on such small maps.

BUT - YES they prob are a bit powerful and rangey i sometimes shock myself with some of the kills i get with them but they are in the game and they help with my sniper class

NO Are you crazy? lol Just about everyone who knows that the (For Mindless GamerS) Where not NERFED enough.... Not as many people use the Type Noobified but still OP after the Nurf... The striker need its range on the (RANGE) attachment needs to be nerfed a bit... While all the ShotGUNS need a Nice Damage Buff....

Okay I have refrained from posting in threads such as this for a long time but I'm sick of this "wah wah wah nerf this, nerf that....type 95 is overpowered...striker is way overpowered wah wah I got scoped from across the map...akimbo FMG's are so overpowered" Please just shut up. Nothing in the game is overpowered but what happens is you get owned by somebody using a weapon that you can't use and you don't like it.

There are far more important things to be fixed in game other then weapons you 12 year olds consider overpowered.

They're both overpowered. I'm number 1 buckshot on xbox and its not the damage or the range, it's the ridiculous firerate combine with the above. As for the FMG's, they have the highest damage output of any weapon, you can combine them with blind eye and down most air support with one akimbo clip, they should just remove akimbo from machine pistols all together, they're already strong enough. They're just secondaries.

You forget the Striker takes 4-5 shots or more at that range. In that time you could have killed them with any non-shotgun weapon.

Of all things to complain about, a shotgun.. with range.. in hardcore? LMFAO.

 

The ACR 1 hit kills at any range, while a highly limited range shotgun is overpowered?

Not to mention pretty much nobody rushes in hardcore. I'll give the shotgun user a pat on the back for agreeing to be everyone elses target practice.

But this game is not realistic, if it was every gun should be a 1-2 shot kill. Even if not you would not be good to go with 2 shots to the chest etc, you would bleed out if not hit in the heart or head. What makes the shotgun so special in long range? In close combat yeah sure every one of those pellets are gonna hit you. At long range they will keep spreading out over a distance. I'm sure that distance on that shutgun is with slugs. There are no slugs in the shotguns in CoD MW3.

So you want to get rid of all automatic weapons then?  Make only semi auto, pump action, and burst fire weapons?  Everything else is a "spray-friendly" weapon as you put it.

At this point I've given up on realism, but just for the sake of game balance something really has to be done about all these spray-friendly weapons. They dumb down the whole process of combat to a point where skill becomes completely irrelevant. How many brain cells does it take to just hold down the trigger and move your hipfire reticule only vaguely towards the target?

 

Maybe that's exactly what the devs were hoping for- that it might make things so easy that no retard would be left behind. And I might have approved of such a move, if only the application of keen marksmanship could possibly grant better results than the spray. Too bad it doesn't. With the lag, hit detection flaws, and high flinch per hit, spraying holds far too many advantages over precision weapons to make marksmanship a worthwhile skill to employ.

 

Now if this wasn't a first-person shooter, that might be acceptable. But this IS a first-person shooter, so being a good shot should be relevant. Really is a crying shame that the devs let things get this far out of hand. 

It's just a problem with the games hit detection. I have gotten chest shots withing 1ft or less with a shotgun and only get a hitmarker to only die from aparently Superman. Trust me the Stirker is a tad overpowered but all shotguns up close should be, they should not be able to kill mid-long range very easily that is the point of balance.
