Your favorite unbalanced game?

Jono · February 29, 2016, 05:56:14 AM

I've clocked in around 50 days of gametime into MW2 because I love it so damn much. Don't get me wrong, I'll be the first one to tell you that its unbalanced, rage-inducing, and broken as fuck in literally every aspect. Its weird because everything was so overpowered and unbalanced it somehow managed to oddly balance itself out in a way... and it was so much fun. This game was like crack and my friends and I were addicted to it. I'd do anything to go back to the CoD 4/WaW/MW2 days.

MW2.

BaconShelf · February 29, 2016, 06:35:04 AM

Halo Wars

the balancing is laughable, but it's still fun

Probably any time I tried to play Yu-Gi-Oh

It counts.

Melee.

Of of the 26 characters in the game, only 6-8 of them are considered competitively viable.

The next 4 are niche. The rest are near unplayable or garbage.

Still fun as hell, though.

MW2 will always be the best CoD, because nothing beats running around with infinite ammo, bottomless-clip noobtubes

Genghis Khan · February 29, 2016, 11:10:15 AM

CoD 2 > CoD 4 > WaW > MW2

aMetroid · February 29, 2016, 11:58:06 AM

Isn't every game with competitive multiplayer unbalanced?

Mordo · February 29, 2016, 12:11:08 PM

Gears 2

Literally shotgun wars the videogame.

Obviously, but I figured he just meant notoriously unbalanced.

MW2. OMA/DC w/ Noobtubes was considered a perfectly viable playstyle, as was Riot Shield/C4 or a FAL w/ shotgun rounds. There was so many "OP" combos that they could contend with each other, compared to one OP combo like in W@W (MP40 w/ Juggernaught) or BF3 (AA-12 w/ frag rounds, pre patch).

God I enjoyed that game... until I was being spawn killed for a Nuke. Then it was the shittest most bullshit game ever.

Don't forget that the underbarrel shotgun had infinite range too

Reach :Fun as hell custom games, BTB, and campaign. Invasion is still the best...but
>Bloom
>Armor Lock
>Kat

Yu-Gi-Oh: Dont invest anything into the game at this point. The Meta is hellfuck. Play online for free.

Pokemon: Literally unplayable outside of Smogon's format

Cardfight Vangaurd: Actually very decent ballanced, considering the insane power creep, although the RNG factor can still be a pain. and Tachilkazes will never be viable ever, yet other stuff (particularly shadow paladins) get some of of the most BS cards in existance

aREALgod · March 01, 2016, 02:00:53 AM

The best OP kit in the game is as follows:

Basically any assault rifle, take your preference.

Underslung grenade launcher.

RPG secondary.

Sleight of hand, danger close, and some other shit, I forgot

C4

Flashbangs

You are now a walking explosives master, use your explosive payload first. After that's gone you still have bullets. This kit guarantees free kills and little kiddies sending you hate mail

Indeed.

I hope CA irons out alot of that shit in HW2. The spartan+tank rush was just insane in HW1, and it wasn't particularly difficult either. The game basically revolved around rushing and spamming.

The lack of actual objectives around the maps gave no incentive other than to play cheap and/or spam units to the enemy base. If I managed to survive the starting bullshit of a multiplayer game, I either built scarabs or spam dropped shit tons of ODSTs and just placed the marker at the enemy base. War of attrition got the job done on players who lost their initial cheap plays.

Yeah. IT never felt geared for strategy. If I played with friends, we'd try to co-ordinate but it would just eventually devolve into spamming all units orders to spam attack specififc enemies. The awful AI pathfinding didn't help, either.

I always ran with this class cause it was sooo damn good and fun to use:

ACR FMJ (laser rifle)

Akimbo Rafficas (dopest pistol ever)

Scavenger Pro
Stopping Power Pro
Ninja Pro

Predator Missile, Harrier, and Pave Low as killstreaks.

With this setup, I would go like 50 and 5 every match.
