MW3 players demand nerfs to game\u2019s most \u201cbusted\u201d Sniper ActivisionThe Longbow sniper rifle is dominating MW3\u2019s multiplayer lobbies, and players are calling for nerfs to the most \u201cbusted\u201d sniper rifle. Much like any other Call of Duty title, MW3 has faced its fair share of balancing issues. The early multiplayer days saw the MCW dominate the meta, although a handful of nerfs have \u201crelatively\u201d brought it back to Earth. One frequent target of criticism has been the semi-auto Longbow Sniper Rifle due to its incredible fire rate and one-shot potential. With player frustration reaching an all-time high, many are calling for nerfs to the \u201cbusted\u201d Sniper Rifle. MW3 players blast Longbow sniper In a post shared to the MW3 subreddit, one MW3 player ripped into the Longbow sniper, citing the Longbow\u2019s domination as worse than the Kar98\u2019s reign of terror. \u201cI legit can\u2019t compete against 3 guys on the other team using this busted gun vs myself. I just pray CoD blesses me every lobby to get a noob lobby because they\u2019re the only players who don\u2019t abuse this gun,\u201d the player said. As you can imagine, the opinion was quite popular amongst players, with others commenting on the gun\u2019s popularity. \u201cEvery time I play 10v10 there\u2019s 3 dudes on the other team with longbows literally going 70-13 every single game,\u201d one player said. Another commented: \u201cThe audacity to call that thing a \u2018sniper\u2019.\u201d Plenty of other posts flood the forums with similar pleas for nerfs or suggestions on how to bring the Longbow back to reality. One such example is players suggesting the developers remove the ability to change sights on the gun. Funny enough, the Longbow conundrum is eerily similar to what Fortnite players experienced with Chapter 5\u2019s arrival, as snipers dominated the meta due to the mod system. Sledgehammer Games has proven it keeps its eyes on the community\u2019s pulse, so perhaps future updates will introduce changes to the Longbow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
