I've recently gone back to CoD:WaW and managed to get to level 53. Some of you may remember that this is the level where you unlock the PPSH41, or as I like to call it, the Russian spammer gun. I dubbed it this because of it's high rate of fire, with the Browning and MG42 with double tap come close to it in fire rate, medium damage and high accuracy. With a drum barrel it can hold [/b]70 bullets[/b] and has a short relod time.
Did the developers even try to balance this thing? People called the MP40 over powered, but the PPSH41 will usually beat an MP40 user. It has barely any recoil, so you don't even need to pace your shots. I thought WW2 SMG's were just a more accurate shotgun, used for clearing buildings and CQC areas. This gun can damn near kill anyone not using a sniper rifle.
I personally believe the PPSH41 to be one of the most OP weapons in a game. What do you guys/gals think is the most OP weapon in any game?
It was worse in the first Call of Duty. It always had a drum, was available from the start, and most Russian maps were urban. It was the original noob tube of the series. Although, the Garand and MP44 were stupid powerful once you learned their individual quirks. Thankfully, at the time, you could only spawn with faction weapons.
Of Call of Duty specifically, the most overpowered weapon was the M16 in 4. That gun was crazy overpowered. I could pull the most amazing kill streaks. Only a lack of ammunition held that weapon back.
Out of all the games I've played, probably the beads in Okami. You had to earn them and only were able to exploit them in a new game, but they kicked all sorts of ass.
