Sorry, but what a disgusting thing to say. You have basicly just said not everyone deserves a right to express there opinion and only those most educated in their particular field should be listened to. What year do you live in ? How can you tell someone there opinion is wrong, just how ? an opinion is exactley that. It is not true nor is it false, it is merely ones thoughts on a particular situation. If someone who never played CoD4 before came off after an hour and said, "the grenade launcher is overpowered" how is he wrong ? and how is he right ? Is there a definitive answer to that question, no there isn't. Your opinion, my opinion, and even 3 year old childs opinion is just as valid as a "pro gamer" such as Johnathen Wendel.
This is not a personal attack on you Gabb, but much of what you say is just purely wrong and thoughtless.
Much of what I say? Read what I said exactly, I used the word validity. EVERYONE has a right to voice an opinion, does that mean that everyones opinions are as valid as others? even if they have limited or no experience in a subject? You may think so but I don't, thats how I feel and thats not thoughtless in the slightest, your taking what I'm saying and taking it to the extreme to where I'm saying everyones opinion is useless. If you consider a 3 year old childs opinion as valid as a John Wendel when it comes to a game...well then I'm sorry but in my humble opinion that is plain foolish.
QFT! The idea is to kill the other guy first and to make his buddies so incapacitated and demoralized that they don't want to fight back. If that means shooting 40mm grenades at them then so be it. War is not a game and has no reset button.

Wow I might as well insert some of my civil engineering technical writing documents into this conversation because its as relevant to the issue at hand as when you guys talk about war being fair ( meaning your arguments about war being unfair are completely irrelevant ). No one ever once brought up how war is fair, I mean even the pro BF2 people against grenade launchers didn't use this ridiculous argument not to nerf GLs, and thankfully Dice listened to people with reason and nerfed the GL in BF2. Lastly concerning game balance and weapons being overpowered, do you honestly imagine infinity ward saying the defense for the GL being too overpowered as "well we designed the game to be as realistic as possible, and war isn't fair, so we left it inbalanced like that...we think its very realistic"
I think we all just need to chill out...seriously. Its a game. There's always going to be something in a game somebody somewhere does not like. Whether it be a perk, a weapon, a particular stat, etc etc. Something in a game is always going to displease somebody (or a group of somebodies) out there.
Believe it or not I am chill, they are the ones throwing name calling and insults, but its very "adult" of Zmatt like he says.
Yes i did call you a dip ****. You deserved it. And many other members are learning that pretty quick. I stopped the PM debate not because you won, but because i realized there is no reasoning with you. I know your type. They will continue to argue as long as it takes and will never admit defeat. I decided to be the adult and drop it.

Concerning your last line, you mean to say you decided to be a child and resort to name calling right?
Lets get the facts straight about our PM debate that you could not counter because they were facts
1. You said tanks are just as expensive as aircraft, something which is not true. Sure there are civilian aircraft and low cost aircraft that can be cheaper then tanks, but generally military aircraft cost more then tanks, this is why 3rd world countries have tanks but no airforce ( not to mention expensive maintenance costs ).
2. You said no one in the community complained about the Crysiswars.exe bug when I showed you a link showing a member did complain days after it came out, in fact I sent them the solution!
3. You accused me of locking the thread, when only moderators have lock powers, and ask any moderator if I had asked them to lock the thread because they will say I did not. If they say I am lying, then I will never post in the forums again, you have my word.
Those were the 3 main issues you were completely wrong about, it's undeniable…so undeniable I want to hear you try to deny them. Your just further embarrassing yourself, and tell others lies who don't know about our debate like Rican that I was the one who insulted you. Saying who or what you are is theoretically useless on the internet since facts can never be verified, but I could care less honestly and to be fair ill take your word for it...just answer my question concerning #1
Honestly this was just a simple debate of how I stated the GL was imbalanced and used the pro gaming community as a source. Then people questioned why and I stated I held their opinions with more validity especially when some people who had the counter opinion had very limited experience with this game. This lead to insults from Zmatt and Ricanflow, and I'm so sure I have done nothing wrong that I even invite an admin to please monitor and read this entire debate. If I am found to do any wrong doing please do me the favor and BAN ME FOR LIFE, because I wouldn't want to come to a forums with such moderating, also if you want to see our PM debate just ask.
if anyone does happen to read this debate, please consider this post my most important.
