When Modern Warfare 3 was first revealed, plenty of longtime Call of Duty fans were hit with some serious nostalgia \u2013 especially on the multiplayer side of things. While there are a host of new mechanics and features, all of the maps in multiplayer are from Modern Warfare 2 (2009), and the weapons are also a bit of a throwback. Sure, the MCW isn\u2019t called the ACR anymore, but we all still know what it actually is. However, those weapons have created a fair few problems in the early knockings on MW3\u2019s cycle. The armory unlocks to get them have been lambasted by players, and now they\u2019re worried that guns that aren\u2019t assault rifles are actually pretty worthless and even \u201cunderpowered.\u201d MW3 players claim weapons are \u201cunderpowered\u201d compared to ARs That\u2019s right, a number of players have been complaining about the strength of the weapons in MW3, claiming that assault rifles are, by far and away, the only options if you really want to compete. \u201cGenuinely, what\u2019s the point of using any other weapon class than ARs?\u201d asked Redditor the_dark_kitty. \u201cI see no point in using any other weapon class, outside of challenges or the camo grind. You\u2019re just always at a disadvantage, so why bother?\u201d Others, like _-DC-, agreed and pointed to SMGs in particular being \u201cunderpowered\u201d right now. \u201cI always do SMGs first when I camo grind \u2019cause they\u2019re usually my most used weapon type. but in this game, they\u2019re an absolute slog fest. Like except for the WSP-9 they all feel like Peashooters. It feels like they aren\u2019t balanced to the new health,\u201d they said. \u201cJust finished Interstellar and I thought all classes felt underpowered compared to ARs,\u201d added another player. \u201cWorking on the weekly challenges for SMGs this week has made me realize really quickly how underpowered they are,\u201d another agreed. The recent November 21 patch for MW3 was meant to buff SMGs, but it appears some players still aren\u2019t happy with how they\u2019re performing. It may take at least another update for them to be in a decent spot, but that might not happen until December when the integration with Warzone happens.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MW3 players worried \u201cunderpowered\u201d SMGs already need another buff Modern Warfare 3 players believe that some weapons are far too \u201cunderpowered\u201d in-game as assault rifles are dominating in every single mode.
