Does the G11 need to be patched?

coillcam

I play on the xbox myself and my brother (never played any fps) has been having a go on my account. He has been playing lately and whoring the G11 and racking up decent kills for himself so I started using it with the low power scope.

It is a beast, lots of 1 burst kills, massive mags(48 rounds) and is surprisingly not that bad at hip firing. At medium range it's a lot stronger than most other ARs imo. Started putting together a lot more killstreaks than usual. I have seen quite a few people using it to great affect but for me it seems a great distance ahead of the others. Personally I'm an AUG/AK fan as I can spray in close quarters as necessary.

Just wondering if anyone thought it was overly powerful?

Way overpowered in my opinion..the scope is fab for it...basically this gun invalids the whole sniper class (except for the option of suppressor)..hell of a lot steadier and easier to aim....up close you won't get as many kills but medium/long range the G11 tops the list.

Not a big fan of the low powered scope.Think thats why i went off it at first.Iron sights are great

I've had a bit of a love hate relationship with the G11. Hated it at first. Then when I gave it a decent few games I started to love it. Now I kind of hate it again.
It's a frustrating gun. You can be unbelievable with it in one game, and not be able to hit a barn door the next game. Very strange, probably related to connection issues that you dont notice as much when you can spray and pray a bit.

But to the point...... Yes, it's a powerful gun.... but its not really overpowered.... and, it has it's drawbacks.
No attachments (except for horrible scopes).
Burst fire.
Yes, you can kill in one burst, but it's pretty damn random. This can cause problems in itself.
It is more difficult to aim with.

Really, if it was overpowered, then you'd see way more people using it. I don't see that many people using it. And I've never felt a guy was getting the better of me because he was using it.

Bought the variable scope to see if its any good.Awful dont get it.Ya dont get the recoil kick until the 3rd round is fired and ya completely lose where your aiming from it.
Iron sights FTW

Well how many times have you people been killed by the G11? Doubt it's anywhere near as the amount you've been killed by the ak74u / famas/galil etc.

That's how I usually judge if a gun is over powered.
Just my opinion

I disagree. The main thing that was overpowered in MW2 imho was danger close noob tubes, but that wasn't the gun type that killed me the most. Overpowered to me means that it's hard to counter it, and it's stronger than most/all other guns in all aspects. You couldn't counter the DC noob tubes, so they were overpowered (and cheap). But the 74u isn't beastly at longer range. It takes a serious effort to keep it on target. Up close it's strong (famas/Aug are just as good though), and and mid range it's good. But there are a lot of long lines of sight in this game.

Just because something is popular, doesn't mean it's overpowered. You're never going to get an even spread between lots of guns. Something will always becomes most popular. But as long as you can win gunfights against them, then it's not overpowered.

Yes, definitely agree with you on the DC noobtubes being overpowered.
I didn't mean to come across in saying that I though the AK74u / famas are overpowered, just wondering what was the basis for wanting to nerf the G11. It's great for medium to long range for sure but run around a corner with it and come up against a SMG and more than likely you'll die, other person pre-firing and whatnot.

I rarely see a G11 in nuketown for example.
I personally think the guns are fine the way they are. Hopefully snipers are better after today.

Ah okay. Cool. I totally agree with you. I think this that the guns are pretty well balanced overall. Some of the SMG's are poor, but mostly due to their small clip size. I just get tired of people saying X,Y,Z,S,R,T guns are all overpowered. They can't all be overpowered!?! That doesn't make sense!! It's like saying everything is above average! LoL

I do think the G11 is pretty strong overall, and in general is a 1 burst kill. Which is different to the rest of the weapons. It isn't actually bad up close, as the hip fire spread is pretty tight.

But again, it isn't overpowered really.

It might be rare because it's such a late unlock though. Plus it does take more "skill" to burst fire rather than auto fire, so people who aren't that familiar with the game won't run with it as easily.

See what happened was somebody said the word 'overpowered' without understanding what it really meant. Since then everything is overpowered.

Exactly. All the guns in MW2 were set up to kill quickly, particularly with Stopping Power. It was a faster paced game, so that's what they wanted. BOps is slower paced, and harder to kill people.

No it doesnt need to be patched, if the patch it then you will only moan about another gun and the cycle will continue until all we will be using is the crossbow :rolleyes:

And then that gets patched so we only have regular bolts, no explosive tipped :pac:
