    I see someone using only meta on a shooter as someone who is so untalented naturally they need to have their weapon carry them.

    Like, on CoD, in the last 3 games I played (BO6, MWIII, MWII) the meta weapon was always something that had zero fucking recoil by default, so no matter how long it took to kill you could brute force a win on ANY gunfight with sheer accuracy. In MWII it was the TAQ-56, in MWIII it was the MCW, and in BO6 it was the Jackal/AMES. And in BO7 it’s the Dravec 45.

    Like, are meta abusers so fucking ass that they need a weapon with no actual recoil at all to kill people? To the point they use it for an entire god damn year?? Bro. Every time I used those guns (for the mastery camo) I just felt so absurdly carried it wasn’t even funny. I could ego challenge a sniper from 60 meters and still win.

      I feel personally attacked. I’ve never played CoD, but that’s 100 % what I would do! That being said I suck ass, I’m 30 and I haven’t played any shooters for me to build skill when I was younger. So now whenever I try FPSes I suck too much for it to be even fun. Only exceptions are offline shooters, that can be fun. Fuck other people.

        I don’t mind if a noob uses those types of guns, since I am aware those guns were made specifically for them. I do, however, get insanely tilted if the player using that gun is literally already excellent at the game and yet chooses the literal baby gun for no reason other than “I’m lazy and I don’t want to actually try”.

      The meta becomes the meta because as people start using it, it becomes required to win.

      It doesn’t mean you can’t play without it, you just can’t be competitive without it. Some people want to have fun playing games, and some people want to be good at games. And some people can’t have fun unless they’re winning.

        It’s only required if you’re a bitch who plays fuck-ass games with Ranked rules where literally everything fun is banned except for laser beam automatic weapons. Meta whores are all carried and won’t even admit it. I had straight up righteous glee when they nerfed the aim assist on BO7 and saw all those “professional” players struggling to hit a single shot at first. Sure, they did adapt later, but them noticing they were straight up aim assist merchants for a good while was extremely funny.

        And then those idiots have the NERVE to complain about shotguns or snipers… BITCH! YOU HAD AN AIMBOT FOR 5 FUCKING YEARS!!

      I despise the meta fps guns and players. The tryhards bouncing and sliding everywhere with the same guns padding their stats but not really spending any effort on the objective other than finding a spot to raise their KDR by killing players actually attempting to work the objective. Also, they don’t do revives even if medics, they just use the healing for themselves to not die.

      Tangentially, fuck devs that stack kits like this. If you make a game with 40 guns and variants, why the fuck make it so that only 4 get used because of some OP factor? Surely a rebalance would help. These kits and tryhards can really mess up enjoying a game and wanting to try different setups.

        This shit is why I think ANY movement tech should require some skill and effort put into it to be utilized effectively (like in Titanfall 2), and that ANY type of stim shot should not be too fast. It should put your gun away with NO recourse, AND take a bit to inject, AND not heal super fast. Like, every time I shoot someone in the back in ANY modern FPS game, the piece of shit doesn’t turn around and shoot me, or even 180 dropshots me like I was used to back in the BO2 days. No, they always run/slide away like a little bitch before taking their super fent/morphine/whatever fuck-ass instant healing item they have, AND THEN turn around to shoot. Like, yeah, I get wanting to recover health before shooting back, but uh… either of those things should NOT be a get-out-of-jail-free-card. The mf WAS in a bad position AND should be punished for it.

          Ah, if only. The game I’m in the lol-180 kills still happen, you die after taking cover because lag, and if you have a good connection it favors the lagger because the game stacks their shots into a burst that you have no hope of surviving. The rest, all true.
