i think people should just learn to accept that a) its impossible (for all intents and purposes in games this dynamic) to balance a game across all skill levels, and to cater to any specific persons whims with regards to balance will very well make things worse for another. b) Cod has shown many times before that it does not balance with respect to high level play (or even decent-intermediate level which is what i consider most people on here to be). They try to cater to the widest audience possible. People should not write off "poor balance decisions" as the developers being moro ns before considering that they may just be balancing things with respect to the enormous number of people who just can't handle fighting halfway decent shotties or snipers. There's a point where a person can think so little of another's intelligence (who's clearly in a more experienced position than them) that it makes themselves look like an idiot. c) Players' opinions are in their wallet. Unwillingness to buy the game, and the ability to convince others to do the same is the only remotely tangible worth a consumer has against AAA devs. Go through a bunch of people's balance complaints and the majority of the time you won't see a single whisper of someone saying "I won't buy the next call of duty if this doesn't get fixed" or even a threat to not get the DLC. I see it much more common for people to actually mention not liking "the past few cods" rather than actually saying they won't buy another. The devs have very little reason to take the forum crusaders seriously when stuff like this happens. But why not balance the game for the highest skill level possible? Then again it's likely that the devs tried to do that with a few pro CoD players, but things didn't work out because they didn't know what they were talking about either. As a result things like shotguns and sniper rifles have been played by ear depending on what the community felt was right, or am I missing something? I agree about c); but at the same time is there really that much competition with Call of Duty on the console? Are there any really good arena FPSes that handle decently? There's Battlefield... Crysis... uh... Doom? S***. Do the kids still like Halo? I don't own a console.

Nerfing snipers for the sake of pubs earns more money than appealing to the pro scene as far as they're concerned I don't think Be3arc thinks the scout sniper nerfs effect sales in anyway. The main stream buys the game anyways just because "it's popluar" or "all my friends are playing it". It's simply idealism.

Violent video games don't cause violence- nerfs to the DSR cause violence in video gamers.

I left CoD because I got bored. And then there's the more intellectual reasons such as I don't like AR/SMG blandfest.
CoD talk in my What? This makes perfect sense.

Liked for truth. Hey, someone actually made it intelligent. If the principle of causation is not true, then the principle of contradiction is not true, therefore all of human reasoning is to be declared fallacious, but that in itself is a contradiction, because the only way to reach the logical conclusion that reality isn't real is to use the principles of causation, but if the principles of causation aren't real, then the mere act of saying that it's not real is fallacious, and therefore incorrect, unless one admits that all is relative and subjective, and there is no method of the intellect to grasp the real thing, but what he says cannot be true, because it itself is a contradiction, for it is not possible to say reality is not real without it being real, but since it must necessarily be real to say that it's not real then obviously it must be real, whereupon the principles of causation and contradiction are re-established and the view that there is no reality refuted.

Last night I had a dream where President Obama was teaching one of my classes, and the night before that I had a dream where I assassinated Hitler in a library. I don't even.

It appears we'll have to draw a line a little closer to normality.
