I don't think it's unbalanced, because you have to give up some pretty good perks to use bling
Most people don't live long enough to both with scavenger and steady aim isn't something people use either. The entire idea behind attachments, I feel, was to give the player a choice how they would play. Now, they can have the best of both worlds and it makes the game unbalanced, I believe. Everyone now uses a silencer and red dot. That defeats the purpose of having a one attachment per gun rule.
The idea behind perks is also to give people a choice of how they would play.
Steady aim isn't in the same group as bling. The alternatives to bling are marathon, sleight of hand, scavenger and one man army. All of those can be very useful perks depending on your play style. I would probably pick any of those perks before I'd use bling. I haven't noticed many people using silencers in Team Deathmatch; the majority of the weapons I find on the ground don't have bling.
I gave the ACR a shot with a silencer and thought it was rubbish. I was emptying entire clips into people and they just turn around and shoot back or just run for cover. I quite like it with a Holographic sight though.
But still I just want my AK47 back with iron sights and FMJ - there's nothing better.
yep... sleight of hand is extremely useful if using any of the LMG's. The thing everyone uses now is akimbo shotguns that have a range better than most of the assault rifles for some reason. I picked up someone's akimbo rangers or whatever after i killed them, and I was able to shoot people from pretty far away and get a kill with one shot. Talk about overpowered weapons.
yea the Akimbo rangers, and 1880's are completely OP. They range is stupid large and it's pretty much a 1 shot kill.
Is anyone in this thread playing on PC?

Most of the shotguns seem to be a 1 shot kill at range. I swear I keep getting killed with 1 shot from what I'd estimate 10 yards away with pretty much any shotgun.
Pretty annoying
Yep and tons of people are using them now.
I still can't stop using the Famas.
It lacks a lil' in the Damage department, so I use FMJ and Stopping Power as well with it.
Yeah i'm starting to realize the spawns in this game are shit. What really pisses me off in domination is how it will spawn the enemy team behind you when you've forced them down to one flag.
The enemy team had 2 of the flags and had us pinned down on one of them. I got killed and spawned RIGHT BESIDE one of the enemy flags.
That's bullshit, if I manage to corner the other team I shouldn't have to worry about them spawning behind me. It totally takes away all strategy and makes it luck.
Depends on the gun. For something like the M4 or the M16, I absolutely need the RDS or Holo. Same with the P90. I can't stand the zoom you get when looking down the irons with these guns, it's very distracting.
The RPD though, has some of the best iron sights in the game, IMO.
I only use the iron sights on all guns. The thing I loved about CoD4 was if you wanted to use the red dot, you had to lose having silencers or noob tube. With the Bling, noobs can have red dot and silenced guns, which is unbalanced even though it is more realistic.
Yes, I am calling them liars. The spawns on this game are completely broken. Halo 3 had better spawns, which is laughable.Impossible, IW said they fixed it. Are you calling IW liars
Also, yes, bling is for noobs.
Bling is about as noobish as an AC-130 or Tactical Nuke...
So what if you get 2 attachments? When was it decided that you were ONLY supposed to get 1? Bling has it's uses, I don't see anything even remotely noobish with using a RDS and silencer or EOTech and FMJ or whatever, having a slightly better picture AND being silent isn't some dramatically better advantage.
The ability to run indefinitely, reload more rapidly, or replenish your ammunition seems to me to be just as much of an advantage depending on what sort of player you are. Like I said I tried Bling and didn't think it was nearly as useful as Scavenger.
In CoD4 you had to make a choice: either have worse long range aim (lets face it, the majority of people can't use iron sights) and be harder to detect, or have an easy to use optic and show up on radar.
This is completely offset in MW2. This changes it so everyone can be stealthy and have a point and shoot gun.
BTW, nuke is not what I would call noobish. I have dropped 8 so far, and it takes a fair bit of skill and surivability.
Not that bling matters much to me anyway, I only play 3rd person now.
One thing I noticed a lot this weekend (at least 3-4 times): People are getting on opposite teams in domination (probably other game modes too, but I only play domination) and trying to work together to get nukes. They both set up tactical insertions in some remote corner and start killing each other taking turns I'm guessing, or one person will do it one round and the other does it the next. The way I noticed it was I kept seeing the same skull icon when your teammates get killed over and over again off to the side of the map in Underpass in the back alley, where no one was fighting.
I've made it my mission to ruin these attempts. I killed the same 2 guys in 3-4 different spots attempting this and they finally left the game. The funny thing is, they get REALLY pissed at me when I stop it and bitch like I'm doing something wrong. It's actually very satisfying to ruin it for them.

It'd be hilarious if IW decided to do a sweep in their database of those who have used nukes before and if they find a string of 20+ kills in a row of the same victim on their way to the nuke Kill Streak, they wipe that player's stats back to level 1. Justifiable and funny to punish those abusers.
