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

I don't know if it's the instant kill factor from the shot that makes it cheap, it's rather the big blast immediately afterwards which is hurting. 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.

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?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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.

That's what I was thinking, I thought you were going about on about the shot itself. I haven't played Doom multiplayer but I imagine in smaller areas perhaps it's murder.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
