That's not what I heard.
What I remember hearing was the gun took up too much space on the screen and caused too much lag, especially in multiplayer.
Overpowered is something that's imbalanced, and thus renders other gameplay elements useless. Hitting once does a lot of damage, two times I'm pretty sure kills your shields, and the third time kills you (I havn't played H2 in about 3 months, so correct me if I'm wrong). To have a combo would kill many other gameplay elements, like lets say the usefulness of a SMG. To balance combos while still making it useful was probably not worth the trouble.
