What you say sounds good, but is logically flawed. Just because a weapon is available to everyone, doesn't mean it isn't overpowered. There should be no obvious choice for which weapon to use regardless of the situation. I agree, when two people use the same weapon, the outcome of their battle is mostly determined by skill-although some of it can come down to luck. But when one person is using The Last Word and the other is using Revelator, TLW user has an advantage hands down. Disclaimer: I think weapons are more balanced now than they have ever been, but to suppose that no weapon is ever overpowered is somewhat shortsighted.

  • No, the weapon that is powerful and is available and easily obtainable and a lot of players end up buying it, or using it, the gun or weapon is considered overrated. [spoiler]I hate TLW campers.[/spoiler]

    I guarantee if I was using TLW and you were using Revelator you would win.

  • No I mean you're correct but everyone has the opportunity to use Last Word in that situation. I'm saying that if something is strong and they get killed that they just need to adapt. And they need to get over it.

  • I'm sorry but i disagree. If a game designer wants to make a game where you have to use 1 gun or you lose, they should just make a game that has only 1 gun. Thats why you never hear people say halo's weapons are unbalanced. Very limited options. Bungie wants to have a game where you have countless viable options. Sometimes they struggle to get the balance right, and thats why we sometimes have OP weapons. TLW a couple months ago is a perfect example. The reign of vex, suros, thorn, and felwinters are others. If bungie is willing and able to recognize a balance issue then i don't see why we can't. "Just use it too" or "get good scrub" are shortsighted comments that fail to recognize an issue and are typically biased. That being said & contrary to popular belief, bungie does test their own game and recognizes issues at least simultaneously along with the community and countless posts calling for a nerf are wasted effort and show a lack of imagination and maturity in the vocal minority.

  • But TLW is only good at a specific range. Too close and a shotgun is better, too far away and just about everything else is better. Hawk moon is better if you engage the person further away. It's about play styles with these kinds of weapon. I believe the issue is too many people are engaging in that TLW sweet spot. Give the meta and people time to adjust.

  • I know this. Like i said, weapons are more balanced now than ever before. That doesn't change the fact that there is a such thing as an overpowered weapon. Maybe you should reread my comment to have a better understanding of the point i was making.
