[General Discussion] Tired of hearing about cheap weapons in multiplayer games?

NOTE: I didn't know if this would go here or in the Multiplayer section, so if it needs to be moved, you can do so.

Which weapons are you tired of hearing people bitch and complain about in multiplayer games?

For me, I hate people bitching about the XM16E1 being a cheap always-gets-headshots-easily gun in MGO. First, it was the M37 and Flamethrower for being too powerful, now it's the XM16E1 for being too accurate. Now that's just fucking ridiculous. What are those guys going to be bitching about next? The knife being too cheap since you can stab someone in the head and get an instant kill? Please.

Another gun that people seem to bitch and complain about is the BFG9000 from Doom/Doom2. Yeah, that gun could kill you instantly if that green blob of death hits you or if you're in its line of fire, but it's not you can easily dodge it by getting out of the shooter's line of fire!

For those people who bitch about these weapons, I usually say that if it's in the game, it's fair. Every gun has their pros and cons and their weaknesses. You find those weaknesses and use them to your advantage!

So anyone else have any other weapons that they hate hearing people complaining about?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I'm sure anyone who is anybody surely knows how to strafe in Doom. In the Doom games, the earlier baddies with the machinegun, pistols are most likely to harm you because the projectiles are much easily avoided. However get caught and it hurts.

That big blast afterwards is what I think makes the gun so lethal. If you're up against someone who can effectively weild that beast, you'll die pretty fast, even if you try strafing away from the blast and the opponent armed with that gun. There's a whole FAQ on the BFG9000 that explains how that gun works and whatnot.

I've never played MGO and I want to what you mean when people say that the XM16E1 is too accurate? Is there an auto-aim to the head in this game? If not then surely those complaining must be too immobile during play?

Basically, if you're crouching or in the prone position and you fire that gun, there's barely any recoil on that gun unlike with the AK47. You still have some recoil to work around even if you are crouching or prone. You can't auto-aim at the head with the Auto-aim lock with any of the guns in MGO.

To be honest, the whole XM16E1 being too accurate arguement is actually a tad bit new to me. I've only heard a few people bitch about that gun online and on some messageboards.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
