I never played WaW so im curious. Why was this labelled as the zupawtfomgbbq noobgun?
Seems like a regular AR >.>

It was like a lighter AR, lol.

Has a high rate of damage, 2 hit kill with SP, 3 without. Long range, easy to snipe across the map with burst firing it. High ADS speed, and a quick reload time. It's only flaw is its recoil, but that can be easily compensated by burst firing at mid-long range.

In Hardcore types, the MP40 with SP is a one-shot-kill at any range on targets without Juggernaut on.

Its one of the overused weapons on the game, it's basically the UMP45 of MW2 if there wasn't an abundance of good AR's in the game, lol.

But why did ppl complain so much about it?
Everywhere I read about waw, ppl are going mp40 noob.
It's spammed more than ppl complain about tubes in the mw series >.>

not like you hear ppl say ump noob or tar fag l2p in mw/. Only logical you use the best gun :/?

People complained because it was abused in WaW. It was always used as a spray-and-pray gun. Bandolier+Double Tap/Juggernaut+Martyrdom really set people off.

i loved using the PPSH brilliant weapon.

Because it was an SMG that could easly out gun a AR at short/med/long range. It also had good iron sights, so everyone used the extended mag attachment. add juggernaut too that and its was unreal.

Also you could use juggernaut with it and still do really well even though everyone else had stopping power.

MP40 w/extended mags
Bandolier
Jugger/double tap
Steady aim

On PC... it was alright. The biggest reason to use it was that it was the best submachine gun on larger maps (which WaW had plenty of) because of how easy it was to get a single shot, and having the highest minimum damage (40-29, rather than 40-20 on the Thompson and Type 100, or... 20-15 (?) of the PPSH-41). Hopelessly outgunned by the other SMGs up close though, and the high recoil meant that rifles could outdo it pretty easily at long range. Pretty useless without stopping power.

i really dont understand all the complaining myself, i mean yea sure alot of people use it but theres also alot of other guns that are way better like the stg-44 (being my favorite gun on WaW) and i personally think the ppsh is better too. its just another gun thats got a good punch and thats about it.

Clock

Console, it was 29-50 damage per bullet.
PC, it was 29-40 damage per bullet.

I cant play WAW on XBOX anymore its just a spray fest, grab an MP40 run around like a headless chicken holding the trigger down i would say over 80% of people will be using it in the one game you join, i really hope MW2 doesn't get like this with the UMP.

80%, more like 50%. It's died down. Though I rarely see those who use the MP40 aim.

I personally don't mind it, and use it on my Ghost classes, because SP isn't necessary on it.

It doesn't ruin the game. Surely, if almost everyone uses the MP40 like you say, then that creates a balance between the majority of players. Therefore the only significant variables left that determine the victor, are skill, reaction times and luck.

Of course it does, everyone grabs the most powerful gun in the game and just uses that, you might aswell get rid of all the other guns. I for 1 don't want to be like everone else. If they balanced the game in the first place then this wouldn't happen. One gun being used out of all the guns in the game says to me this game is not well made.

What I don't get is that the PC version of the game has the MP40 doing less damage, whereas the console versions do more damage. As a result of this there aren't nearly as many people using the mp40 on PC.

...Why the hell didn't they do this on consoles?!

If you don't use the best gun in the game, you are always going to be at a disadvantage. The game is imbalanced, not badly made. However, when everyone uses the same gun, the variable which caused it is cancelled out, and therefore more balance is created than previous. A game relying on what I explained above is balanced.
