When Modern Warfare 3 was first announced, plenty of longtime Call of Duty fans were excited about the nostalgia rush that it would bring. You\u2019ve got Makarov, Captain Price, all the classic maps from the original Modern Warfare 2, and a fair few weapons as well. Since the game has been out, the nostalgia has continued, and fans have been praising it as one of the best installments of the CoD franchise for a few years. However, it hasn\u2019t been totally plain sailing as players have been annoyed by armory unlocks, modes being removed, and, among other things, the wait for the Warzone integration. On top of that, they\u2019ve also been left frustrated by some \u201cunusable\u201d weapons in multiplayer \u2013 especially one that has been around CoD for years. MW3 players annoyed that MW2 weapons are \u201cunusable\u201d right now Right now, the most \u201cunusable\u201d weapon that players have struggled with is the Crossbow. Many believe it is significantly underpowered compared to how it used to be, and is far too slow these days as well. \u201cI would use the Crossbow all the time in MW2 was extremely consistent one shots and now in MW3 can\u2019t get them to save my life,\u201d said one player, who showed off a video of them struggling to even get two hit kills with it. \u201cMW3 HP is 150 and all MW2 guns are built around 100 hp so they didn\u2019t balance any of the old guns to do accurate amounts of damage for the larger health pool. It\u2019s not the guns themselves it\u2019s just the devs\u2019 laziness,\u201d added one. \u201cThey clearly didn\u2019t even touch most of the MWII weapons before launch, just imported them as is,\u201d another said. Though, the complaints extend beyond the Crossbow too. \u201cThis isn\u2019t just the crossbow. Many of the marksman rifles in MW2 are borderline useless. You might as well use an airsoft gun,\u201d another player commented. It remains to be seen if weapons from MW2, like the Crossbow, will be buffed when the devs start dishing out some changes. It\u2019s clearly something fans want, but it could be tricky.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MW3 players frustrated as fan-favorite weapon is totally \u201cunusable\u201d ActivisionModern Warfare 3 players have been left frustrated as a longtime fan-favorite weapon has been \u201cunusable\u201d in multiplayer amid a recent round of changes.
