A new phenomenon....
Posted by nicedrewishfela on Mar 4, 2013 3:06 PM
Wondering if anyone else has seen this lately.... I play primarily HC TDM. With an SPM of around 268, I am usually around the top of the lobby leaderboard, and its unusual to see folks higher than 300. Therefore, it always piques my interest when I see someone higher than 300 or even 400 make an appearance in a lobby, and it always raises some eyebrows, as its not easy to do so in a realm like HC TDM in which you don't get the score bonuses like in Objective Modes. Anyways, on separate occasions over the past few days have run into players well over 300 and one over 400 SPM. Curious, I checked 2 of their Combat Records, Both had around 8-9k kills. In both cases, they had 7-8k of those kills using the Peacekeeper, with the next highest gun being at only 49 kills. Now I am always an advocate of people playing how they want to, within the rules and spirit of the game... but this seems a bit ridiculous to me. So I am asking... has anyone else seen this happening? I can't help but not have a lot of respect for players like that, am I alone in thinking this? Does the fact these players only use one weapon diminish their high SPMs and K/Ds in anyone elses' eyes? Does this say anything about the Peacekeeper itself as a weapon? I have felt since day one this game had the best weapon balance of any CoD in recent history, but I am starting to question that with the emergence of this new weapon. This was my one fear with the release of DLC weapons, that it would disrupt the balance of the weapons already in the game. It has surpassed all other weapons as the gun that has killed me the most, even after only being in the game for a month or so. So what do you think? Am I wrong in being shocked and dismayed by this? Do you agree that this is ridiculous? I just can't imagine playing this game and using the same weapon all the time... It would grow very stale for me and quickly. Thanks in advance for your constructive comments and looking forward to some good discussion on this.
