Silencers lower the power of weapons in this game. Is this post for real?

he quit pac-man because he wanted the cherry's to get buff and the ghost to be nerfed 

I have actually went away from using them so much on this prestige. Look, I don't know stats by numbers regarding effectiveness of weapons and attachments like so many do, all I know is that seemingly, I get better results without them on most game types.

No they are not OP

Shouldnt be a problem if you dont rely too heavily on your Mini Map

The only benefit is for stealth players. I use suppressor on my SMG class most of the time, a lot easier to sneak behind enemy lines. And you do lose a lot of damage over range which makes SMG even more CQB. I think rapid fire is overpowered on SMGs because they already have a high RPM.
