Butt ugly ape” remarked Sergeant Johnson always making fun out of the situation even though he had been hit by a spiker round in the arm. He mustered up the strength to continue and the team moved on. The Arbiter informed him that the next room held The Prophet of Truth and this was the final room before extraction. Jun proposed that he takes a shot from a distance the prophet and they all head back to the ship bay for extraction. The team agreed on this and breached the last door…

Ok, so here is my list so far:

MP5(MW3)
Boltshot(Halo 4)
Commando Perk (MW2)
Kinda The Focus Rifle(Halo Reach Beta)
AEK971(BF3)
Halo 1 and Halo Reach Pistol
Gears of War Sniper

If we're going with cheat guns, I'd rather have the Golden PP7. 1-hit kills on anything but you can't accidentally commit suicide.

Cerberus Harrier in Mass Effect.


Yeah its pretty insane although the ammo capacity I think makes it less overpowered than it could be. Compare it to the hurricane, which can do similar close range damage, while the hurricane has triple the ammo capacity.

MP5, M16, Juggernaut and Martyrdom if you count perks (CoD4)
MP40 (WaW)
UMP45, Deathstreaks (MW2)
AK74-u (Black Ops)

Wow, all of the modern CoDs are filled with unbalanced gameplay. Thank God I stopped caring about any CoD past CoD2.

I know it's a TPS, but too bad.

It's terrible because once you use it, you have no reason not to. It's like the damn BR in Halo 3.

What always annoyed me about this is that Halo fans praise this as a legendary weapon in gaming, despite how unbalanced and gamebreaking it was, but if the exact same thing was put into Halo 4, they would whine about it non-stop.

No such thing. If everybody as the chance to use the same gun then they are not overpowered, some people are just better then you with them.

Step your game up.

I wouldn't say that... for rifles that's pretty much true (aside from the Prothean Rifle), but in weapons in general there are other guns I like too. The Harrier is kind of heavy and it isn't the greatest CQC gun against Phantoms, and you can't really use it on a Destroyer or Trooper because it burns its ammo up way too quick. For the most part though it is pretty insane.

I thought the acolyte was more OP though until it got nerfed. Lately my go-to platinum weapons have been the Carnifex and the Hurricane but I've been mostly playing biotics. Demolisher with Harrier is probably one of my best plat kits though, just so reliable.

That was a dumb post and you should feel bad. If something makes almost everything else obsolete, it is probably OP. If it turns noobs into beasts, it is probably OP. Etc. Bad game balance creates sterility and kills the long-term of a game.

You must be retarded, every game has its fair share of OP weapons/tactics.

OT: M60 + Magnum ammo from BF:BC2
Usas12 + Frag rounds from BF3
DMR from Halo Reach/4
UMP45 + silencer + cold blooded from MW2


Anyone remember shotty sniping in BF:BC2 with the 870 + slug ammo? Near 0 bullet drop and devastatingly accurate.

I sniped a sniper that was sitting in a lighthouse on the other side of the map with my shotgun more then once.
