    why does everyone say this game is the most balanced? i dunno maybe theres something i dont get....but I personally think the opposite only because i get outgunned by everything! whenever i play online  famas,ak-74u,commando and just everything i really dont get it

    I think people mainly say this game is balanced because most of the really cheap crap from MW2 is gone (infinite claymores, infinite grenade launchers, commando knife lunges from across the room, game ending nuke, etc), and because killstreaks don't lead to other kill streaks.   
     
    If you're getting outgunned by everything, you're either not using your weapon's strengths, you're not using cover, or you need to work on your aim.  Perhaps a bit of all three.

    Well, if you get outgunned by everything, then it would seem nothing is overpowered. Also, you have access to those guns, so if you're still getting killed, it's your fault. And, yeah, use SpaceInsomniac's advice.

    Play Barebones.
     
    Problem solved.
     
    Now if they would only bring back BB's TT and get rid of that MLG shit they replaced it with,  all would be good.

    Plus the removal of death streaks, (eventually) changing the Last Stand perk to give the kill to the person who originally took the enemy down and the assist to the person who finished them off, and less fire and forget killstreaks, as well as the removal of supply drop, making shotguns primary weapons again, and gettin rid of the dual fucking monster shotguns (the dual shotguns they have in Black Ops are pretty shitty). 
     
    However, all of this balance is far inferior to Call of Duty 1 and 2.  What I would give for those games to have active PC communities again.

    That can happen for many reasons. If the enemy has lower latency than you then he will always have an advantage in gun fights. The enemy could also be more accurate than you are.

    I think this game is quite balanced. Sure ill complain to myself every time i get killed, but at the end of the day i've had more fun playing this cod than any before. MW2 was cool, but more power in each gun doesn't mean more fun. The one thing that ruins black ops is how an organised team with no morals can all position themselves so whereever you spawn, you die instantly. I was literally just playing demolition where they position sentrys and had every spawn point marked. Plus chopper gunner, plus dogs. I dont normally go negative but i would spawn and die. I just put the controller down and watched out of....just annoyance and frustration. Its things like this that ruin the game. I tried to stick with it though. And karma rewarded me by spawning directly behind a sentry gun so i finally got that challenge for ghost pro. but i knifed and was then killed. When i eventually gave up i was the only one left on my team. It wasnt fun and ended up with me turning the game off
