After some kills back and forth, Dagerous Dave is now using the trusty Barret and Danko is still using the Mp5, and they are both at 100% health. Danko and Dangerous Dave both see each other at the same time again. Dangerous Dave is able to blast Danko with the barret at the same time Danko was about to shoot. Danko is dead at 0% health, while Dangerous Dave is at 100%. this 100% health gives Dangerous Dave the oppurtunity to pull off that exact act again, giving him the same easy possibility to get kills.
@Yukwunhang - jesus christ... Read my last paragraph in the theory dummy. If me and other soldat players are frustrated with it, I can comment on it.
However an experienced soldat player could use his barret or m79 and get direct shots 9/10 times.
Why dont you see any expert steyrers? or ak74ers? or deaglers? or shotgunners? or even Minigunners? It is always m79ers or barreters that are considered the most talented. Can anyone care to explain that?
Because 'expert players' aren't playing on pubs...
I guess what I am trying to point out is that for whatever reason, I find it to be a lot less annoying when I can predict my death (seeing the bullets hit my guy, seeing my health drain away). One hit kill weapons are just not fun to get killed by.
The problem is, people are annoyed when they are killed in one hit. At least in a prolonged firefight, even if you're going to lose, you feel like you have a fighting chance. You don't get that with instakill weapons. I've seen people complain about being chainsawed, knifed, and barretted, even though all of those take a decent amount of skill on the attacker's part. In a game of competition, people get frustrated when there is none. I'm not saying we should remove these weapons; I'm just analyzing the psychology behind it.
The weapons are balanced. The question of balance occurs when new players (and many regular players) fail to recognize disadvantageous situations. Of course you're going to die if you charge an m79 or shotgun. Obviously you'll lose if you try to take on an auto with a binkable weapon. That doesn't mean the weapons are unbalanced; it just means that you don't know how to make the best of your situation. Experienced players take advantage of (or avoid) these mismatches, which is why they do much better. Any weapon looks overpowered in the hands of an expert. Any weapon looks weak in the hands of a novice. You might be surprised at how often a new player will miss with the m79. If he hits you one out of five times, the instakill will still be annoying. But that doesn't mean the weapon is overpowered.Again, the weapons are very well balanced. Before you complain that a weapon is overpowered, try it out yourself. Before you complain that a weapon is underpowered, look for people who constantly use that weapon. Don't you think they have a reason for making it their primary? Lastly, experiment with new tactics. Learn how to avoid the instakill shots. Learn how to avoid self-bink. Learn which weapons are best against others. But please, stop complaining that the weapons are unbalanced.

here's how I deal with m79ers:When he's running to you and going to shoot at ya , simply go back still aiming at him and shooting and do the backflip with the jets. That way the grenade will prolly hit the ground and push you a little in the air . Then you have the height advantage and prolly half of a clip and a couple of frag grenades .
-Erase any guns ability to kill with a single shot (Some may argue)
-Allow every gun to kill with a single shot (Loads will argue)
