Well, the LC10 was still too easy of a gun but yeah. The KSP was relevant, if they put the FFAR buff in last season and qbz, then I could agree with you.
Even if you use the quickest ADS attachments for the Tundra sniper, this pistol lasers you in 1/3 of the time it takes to zoom in. You're literally 1/3 into the ADS when getting killed.

the tec-9 is absolutely crazy, also in hardcore modes it one-shots at every range. But even in Core game modes you can outgun snipers long range, its completely broken :D
I skipped 2 seasons with Cold War, and jumped back in and was having a fair bit of fun. Now the Tec-9 is literally in every lobby I play, and I just can't win a goddamn gunfight. Will be having a break until this gets sorted
Yesterday I got absolutely clapped so fast I was sure I had been quick scoped by some god tier player, then I watched the kill cam and it was a full auto Tec 9. That thing kills so fast it feels like you've been sniped.
When i read that the task force barrel increased the EM2's damage to 51 i was wtfing.

If they slowed down the rate of fire just slightly on the EM2 to keep its 3 shot TTK in check and reduced the ranges a little bit it would be fine. Right now it's like an OP Man O War from BO3.

It’s a tried a true formula at this point & eventually they will do an update that reverts the guns to how they were supposed to be built.
I've been waiting for this video since the season started. In the very first game I played I got instantly deleted by the TEC-9 and thought I was playing hardcore but... I wasn't. Now I'm using it too, already unlocked gold for it in MP and 80% of players I kill with it insult me in the deathcomms.
this is the problem with people who like treyarch games. you dislike the game when it rewards headshots and accuracy because you want everything to feel the same. i also love how these guns show how shit treyarch is for balancing guns. assault rifle, 48 damage, 9mm smg, 50 damage
The Tec-9 is really bringing the broken VPR buff vibes from IW lol, was looking forward to your reaction on this. Mind blown how they’re *this* over-tuned.
The Vpr was the laser beam of death and the mini Claw scorestreak but for free. That buff they gave it was insane, sad that the recoil was nerfed so heavily.
@@jeremiahtaylor1817 yeah for sure. The VPR obviously fired much faster than the Tec-9 too, but both were/are 3-4 shot kills so are almost untouchable at every single range. VPR was a blast for a short while anyway haha.

Yeah I know about the meta weapons and shit but I never experienced anything this overpowered, makes you not even want to play cold war at all because everyone is using tec9 and em2
The KSP still kills faster in a single burst (~166 ms according to Ace) and has decent max damage range when kitted out properly, but the burst delay at least keeps it in check. I think it's also the only gun that even comes close to competing with these two guns in their current states, but it's still not as versatile as either.

literally every game i play goes exactly the same now. dudes with no left thumbstick sitting in the back mapping me with the EM2, and kids cracked up on 4 scoops of gfuel sliding and jumping around like it’s a jetpack cod destroying me instantly with the tec9
Hey Ace, you should talk about how terrible the shotgun pistol secondary is next. It is in an awful state right now, very few attachments, dragons breath broken in akimbo to where it does not work, and only 6 rounds in the reserve allowed at any given time in MP.
I just started playing this season and I knew that the 2 new guns felt better than anything else I tried out. I had a feeling that this was the case. I kind of don’t want the em2 to be changed cuz I just like the feel so much more than any other gun but I understand that I needs to happen
I legitimately have no clue how Treyarch expects us to believe they (meaningfully) playtest these guns. It’s like the VPR from IW all over again. btw the EM2 is absolutely nuts with the Task Force barrel and feels like cheating because it beats everything lol
they are greedy and found a way where people wont call them out for pay to win mechanics. iv been calling this shit out during MW people finally catching on
Yes they have skill: to show they tryhards. Really good players still use Aku n Krig including me. Really skills comes by many things and when you use OP gun and call yourself skilled player you are just pathetic.
They know exactly what they're doing, it's been done since MW (maybe even prior idk). Release broken weapons so people buy them and then nerf them later on.
This opinion of mine maybe sus but....i am glad the TEC-9 is getting its due. Despite being OP in videogame stats: it has 3 barrels to shoot. Semi, burst, full-auto. The fact you as a player can utilize its wire stock. (Something a ton of media that tend to show it being inaccurate as fuq since gangsters shoots it via sideways) This game gives this weapon better respect to it as a firearm then any other game. It is finally usable in a video game while not being a pos to throw away!
The em2 i wasn’t too bothered by, but good god the tec 9. Normally all of my other guns have a kd around 1.8-2 by the time they’re gold, but I have a 2.6 with the tec 9
I used EM2 day 1 season 5, the first match with base gun I annihilated the lobby... 78-4 (out of those 4 deaths one was a suicide..LoL), I was just baffled, it is my best ED in TDM (yes TDM, not Hardpoint) in CW (like I was playing MW2 again) and it was 178 ping lobby... I was speechless when that happened... Its way too OP
Before this I could feel the EM2 was very powerful and (having only been on the receiving end) the full auto Tec-9 was absolutely broken, I was getting absolutely wrecked at most ranges by the full auto it was absolutely brutal, stupid fast TTK
Cold War is simply unplayable right now, unless you are (ab)using the EM2 and TEC-9. Just makes the game incredibly boring, with no other viable options.
Outside of snipers these are the only guns anyone is using in my lobbies so this game now just has insane time to kill and plays like a faster version of Modern Warfare
I love/hate the EM2, because at long last there's a high damage/slow fire rifle that's viable and doesn't kick to the moon, however it's just too good, especially with the TFB. My only worry is that when it's nerfed it's just going to be another C58/AK situation where it really has no place next to the Krig or DMR's in its ideal engagement range, hell even the Tec 9 is a damn good light carbine in semi-auto so it might even have trouble with that.
They are not broken, this is by design to encourage some players to buy into the guy earlier. Once they hit their quota they'll be nerfed to the ground.
that is the not the definition of 'broken' within the context of this video. no one claimed that these guns were not functioning as intended, but rather, they are meta/balance breaking. which they 100% are.
i used the em2 up to weapon level 29 and realised i didn’t like the fact that it was as powerful and boring to use as it is. little did i know the tec9 was a different breed lmao. i can’t even compete with my super sweaty lc10, fara or ak classes that i only keep for the worst of lobbies. it’s genuinely disgusting to play against
@@drunkhusband6257 fair enough but personally i cant use the same gun for more than an hour without getting bored. em2 is still broken after the nerf tho
@@damnedisraeli9383 You put yourself at a tremendous disadvantage using any other gun at this point. My favorite gun is the groza, I literally can’t even use it at this point because it loses to the tek at all ranges. I’m not gonna get frustrated using other guns im gonna use the tek and em2 until they nerf it.
I've been making the same statement about the EM2 on different reddit posts and some people are really ok with the idea of just adding recoil to the barrel. How does that solve the problem at all? It completely takes away from the purpose of the gun while also keeping such an upset to game balance present.
You left out where the EM2 has the slowest ADS time of any assault rifle in the game. You're lucky to still be alive by the time you get in the sight on that gun.
They (Activision/Treyarch) know what they're doing. Release broken guns so people are encouraged to buy tiers, then nerf it once everyone has it.

Are we really surprised at this point though?
They'll get their money for people buying tier skips and then nerf them in two or three weeks.
This also encourages people to play the game more to level up the guns while they are broken. It feels like this was all intentional.
it hasn't happened before in cold war except maybe the mac10 and lc10, rest of the dlc weapons are average at best

literally every game i play goes exactly the same now. dudes with no left thumbstick sitting in the back mapping me with the EM2, and kids cracked up on 4 scoops of gfuel sliding and jumping around like it’s a jetpack cod destroying me instantly with the tec9
Oh and lets not forget about the one shot pistols that shoot fire and shoot like snipers
Hey Ace, you should talk about how terrible the shotgun pistol secondary is next. It is in an awful state right now, very few attachments, dragons breath broken in akimbo to where it does not work, and only 6 rounds in the reserve allowed at any given time in MP.
I just started playing this season and I knew that the 2 new guns felt better than anything else I tried out. I had a feeling that this was the case. I kind of don’t want the em2 to be changed cuz I just like the feel so much more than any other gun but I understand that I needs to happen
Man, I finally had some fun in Cold War
I legitimately have no clue how Treyarch expects us to believe they (meaningfully) playtest these guns. It’s like the VPR from IW all over again.
btw the EM2 is absolutely nuts with the Task Force barrel and feels like cheating because it beats everything lol
they are greedy and found a way where people wont call them out for pay to win mechanics. iv been calling this shit out during MW people finally catching on
Fitting that a gun named “tec 9” is extremely fast
I haven’t used either yet but within the first few seconds I couldn’t believe have fast you took those players out. My goodness that’s needs a fix
S/N is just people using these two guns and still have the nerve to say they have skill
Yes they have skill: to show they tryhards.
Really good players still use Aku n Krig including me.
Really skills comes by many things and when you use OP gun and call yourself skilled player you are just pathetic.
I am not sure why the Tec 9 doesn’t fire at its actual rate of 1,000 rpm. I mean a google search takes 5 seconds
They know exactly what they're doing, it's been done since MW (maybe even prior idk). Release broken weapons so people buy them and then nerf them later on.
This opinion of mine maybe sus but....i am glad the TEC-9 is getting its due. Despite being OP in videogame stats: it has 3 barrels to shoot. Semi, burst, full-auto. The fact you as a player can utilize its wire stock. (Something a ton of media that tend to show it being inaccurate as fuq since gangsters shoots it via sideways) This game gives this weapon better respect to it as a firearm then any other game. It is finally usable in a video game while not being a pos to throw away!
Meanwhile in war zone I feel like I'm being a masochist if I even think about trying to use the Tec 9 and em2
I absolutely hate these marshal pistols too. Cant do anything close range without getting blown away by those. Hell even at long range too sometimes
Thank you Ace for doing their job yet again. They release broken content and wonder why retention is low. . .
67% of the kill feed is em2, that tells you all you need to know
The em2 i wasn’t too bothered by, but good god the tec 9. Normally all of my other guns have a kd around 1.8-2 by the time they’re gold, but I have a 2.6 with the tec 9
I loaded up a custom match with bots to try the tec out and immediately thought it’s absurd. Been waiting for this video.
I used EM2 day 1 season 5, the first match with base gun I annihilated the lobby... 78-4 (out of those 4 deaths one was a suicide..LoL), I was just baffled, it is my best ED in TDM (yes TDM, not Hardpoint) in CW (like I was playing MW2 again) and it was 178 ping lobby... I was speechless when that happened... Its way too OP
Literally every lobby is these 2 guns and it was double xp weekend yesterday so now people have both them max level
What no way? The new Cold War guns are broken? SHOCKER!!
Before this I could feel the EM2 was very powerful and (having only been on the receiving end) the full auto Tec-9 was absolutely broken, I was getting absolutely wrecked at most ranges by the full auto it was absolutely brutal, stupid fast TTK
Boy o boy do i regret purchasing this game.
this game is great compared to the new ones, I really liked this and the beta was so nostalgic to me playing it with my brother
So, in Cold War this gun has almost no recoil, but in warzone, after 3 shots you are shooting the moon.
today if you play drive in 24/7 all players are using EM2, and when you play nuketown all players are using the TEC-9, there´s no in between
Welp. Can confirm with the Tec-9. 1.1 KD player went 54-12 with a 17ish streak before engagement based match making kicked in
Thank you for calling this out, I thought it was just me.
There is no way trayarch didn't know making a full auto tactical rifle wasn't going to be OP. They did it on purpose
Cold War is simply unplayable right now, unless you are (ab)using the EM2 and TEC-9. Just makes the game incredibly boring, with no other viable options.
So just like every other cod then
rework the tec-9 completely, it should be a high-fire rate, medium damage, high recoil weapon that we can dual-wield
I can finally relive the MW2 UMP-45 days with the Tec.
I know it's great, and the em2 feels like the old scar h
I got them both DM Ultra by the time this video came out 😆
The Tec 9 has the AK 12 TTK from Ghosts. Whoever balanced the gun is delusional
Outside of snipers these are the only guns anyone is using in my lobbies so this game now just has insane time to kill and plays like a faster version of Modern Warfare
I love/hate the EM2, because at long last there's a high damage/slow fire rifle that's viable and doesn't kick to the moon, however it's just too good, especially with the TFB. My only worry is that when it's nerfed it's just going to be another C58/AK situation where it really has no place next to the Krig or DMR's in its ideal engagement range, hell even the Tec 9 is a damn good light carbine in semi-auto so it might even have trouble with that.
They are not broken, this is by design to encourage some players to buy into the guy earlier. Once they hit their quota they'll be nerfed to the ground.
that is the not the definition of 'broken' within the context of this video. no one claimed that these guns were not functioning as intended, but rather, they are meta/balance breaking. which they 100% are.
i used the em2 up to weapon level 29 and realised i didn’t like the fact that it was as powerful and boring to use as it is. little did i know the tec9 was a different breed lmao. i can’t even compete with my super sweaty lc10, fara or ak classes that i only keep for the worst of lobbies. it’s genuinely disgusting to play against
I only use the tec 9 now, literally only gun in the game I even use. I just use whats best I don't care about fairness
@@drunkhusband6257 fair enough but personally i cant use the same gun for more than an hour without getting bored. em2 is still broken after the nerf tho
glad Ace is making a video about this because that means i'm not just being a salty baby
I’m loving both guns. To me the hype they brought to the new season is amazing. Yes they are extremely broken though
It’s people like you who make the game unenjoyable
@@damnedisraeli9383 You put yourself at a tremendous disadvantage using any other gun at this point. My favorite gun is the groza, I literally can’t even use it at this point because it loses to the tek at all ranges. I’m not gonna get frustrated using other guns im gonna use the tek and em2 until they nerf it.
That em-2 is ridiculous I thought you were playing bots till I saw players start leaving the match
I've been making the same statement about the EM2 on different reddit posts and some people are really ok with the idea of just adding recoil to the barrel. How does that solve the problem at all? It completely takes away from the purpose of the gun while also keeping such an upset to game balance present.
You know the games dying or dead when the dlc guns are beyond the other ones.
You left out where the EM2 has the slowest ADS time of any assault rifle in the game. You're lucky to still be alive by the time you get in the sight on that gun.
Same answer every one says about snipers. Ads is just fine 😂. The gun is to op and needs to be nerfed to the ground so smgs can compete at 50 meters
The MW MP5 getting nerfed annoyed me nobody even asked for a nerf on the mw mp5 and in fact people actually enjoyed the MW mp5
