Weapon Balance
I thought I would just start a little discussion about the Weapons of MW2, from it's Machine Pistols, to it's LMG's.
What do you think are the noticably good guns in the game and why, I am going to run through the sub categories of guns and highlight the guns I feel are amazing for their category.
Assault Rifles
I feel this is the most balanced sub category of the game, with all the weapons having pro's and con's and generally all being very good. But the ACR deserves a mention, simply down to it's recoil, or a lack of so to speak. However I feel every assault weapon is powerful depending on how much love the user gives it.
SMGs
The SMGs are a lot more powerful that I thought they would be, especially one. The UMP.45 has got to be some kind of game breaking gun, either that or it wasn't desiged to deal so much damage. The fact is can deal 3 hit kills without stopping power at ANY range bemuses me, and I feel it is by far the best SMG for an experienced player.
LMGs
Most of the LMGs are good, however the AUG HBAR stands out for me, with a quick reload time it feels like an Assault Rifle with a massive magazine, it has very good accuracy for an LMG, and is generally what I would say an amazing gun for its sub category.
Sniper Rifles
With most of the Sniper Rifles being Semi Auto, I have an auto love for the Intervention, with the most damage and most accuracy, it feels like a proper sniper rifle. However the M21 has a potent mix of big clip with very low recoil, making it a pretty handy medium range sniper.
Riot Shield
Wait what?
Machine Pistols
I can't decide between two guns here, the first is the PP2000, it is essentially a small SMG, and having that kind of thing as a secondary weapon is amazing, however I feel the M93 Raffica has to take most of the accolades, since it is essentially an M16 Pistol!
Shotguns
I don't think there is much argument that the Model 1887 (Akimbo'd ofcourse) is by far one of the most annoying and destructive weapons in the game. Nothing more to say, cheap weapon is cheap.
Handguns
With the Desert Eagle being completely broken due to horribad recoil and a capped fire rate, I feel the selection of the other 3 Hanguns is fairly balanced, with all of them offering something different.
Launchers
If we are using a Launcher as an Anti-Killstreak weapon, the Stinger is the winner by far, but if you want to use a Rocket Launcher for some lols, the Javelin is hours upon HOURS of fun, watching that Predator like rocket fly up and drop on a group of people will never be boring.
So that's my take on the weapons in the game, if I missed something, make sure to point it out!
