Sometimes reading this board I want to make one of those pictures of Oprah Winfrey I always see online. " Look under your seats...You get a nerf, You get a nerf, Everybody gets a nerf!!!!"
I like playing with some SMG's but Ive always liked AR's. Even back in BLOPS 2 when I knew I was at a slight disadvantage. I learned how to play this game ( Online) when BLOPS 1 came out. Right away I used the enfield till I found the famas. I didnt know enough about the game to know what was "OP". I just liked its versatility and more so the iron sights. Im big on using the iron sights so I find guns that I feel comfy with their sights. Once I started coming onto these boards and hearing people online complaining how it was a "crutch" I decided to find a new gun to test myself. So I found the gun with similar iron sights, the AUG. After using that one for about a month everything switched and now the AUG was "OP". I got tired of hearing everything I was using was "OP". Once the title went through its course I found that the real OP gun was the AK74U. I barely ever toyed with that thing dangumitt. Im not mad that a lot of people used it and it was a beast gun. I got killed by that thing almost triple any other gun. I tried it and it didnt feel right to me. My bad for not adapting to it.
Then In MW3 I used about 5 different guns based off their sights. My best gun was the AK47 but my most used was the ACR. Everyone complained about the ACR but I found the AK47 was much better. At least in my hands.
Then in BLOPS 2 I really enjoyed using the TYPE25. I tried out some others but I loved the TYPE25, love the sights. I was glad when I never heard that gun mentioned much as a crutch compared to other guns. It made me feel better that I wasnt always picking the " crutch" gun.
While I will say certain lethals, tacticals, killstreaks, over the years were a bit over powered. I would never call any gun "op". If you dont like it then start using it. If its "OP" in someones mind. Set up a loadout and when you feel like it run through a bunch of folks.
