I call the 50. Cal "my baby".
Oh and in video games balance always out weighs realism. Fun is more important than OMGEEE IT HAZ TEH R BE REALISTICCCZZ!
Oh, that's nothing. I felt like watching the opening sequence to Shooter, the comments section was basically a running battle between the morons who thought Swagger took the chopper down with an M95 and the few people who realised it was an M82. I couldn't keep myself out of it, and no amount of explaining how the blanks were too weak to cycle the M82's recoil-driven action (the barrel itself actually needs to recoil, which it obviously won't do as much with a blank round), hence the manual cycling. I also pointed out the obvious difference in layout, which was a no-brainer but apparently meant nothing to these kids. It boiled down to a bunch of BF2-playing shitheads against someone who, you know, has actually seen the M95 firsthand and knows the fucking difference.
fuck outta here, balance is for horrible cunts who have little to no skill
true skill is denoted by beating the living shite out of everyone else with the 'worst' weapons, while they whore their power weapons and whatnot
few things parallel the feeling of cutting down pistol whore after pistol whore with the assault rifle
Oh right because you LOOOOOOVE that noob tube. I mean seriously. Its so well balanced.
FYI the pistol and AR are pretty well balanced out. It just depends on which situation calls for which weapon.
I give no fuck about the 203, on the rare occasions I play CoD4 online (actually I should make them less rare now my PC can handle it) I usually stick to the MP5 with an ACOG.
Anyone who thinks that devs should nerf something just to make it "fair" is a retard, especially if they even consider claiming it to be 'realistic' or 'authentic' or 'immersive' like just about every fucking dev this side of the Moon does. There was a HUGE shitfight on the Darkest Hour forums when they said they were adding the King Tiger, because all the Allied tankers were having a massive fucking cry about not being able to kill it. Their own shit-horrible tactics (lining Shermans up five deep and firing in the open, across several hundreds or even thousands of yards of open ground, and not moving at all) were largely at fault (not that they'd ever admit it). Their solution was to either not add the KT or to nerf the living fuck out of it, essentially making its inclusion pointless anyway. Instead they ignored the fact that their rarity would mean they could be spawned in VERY limited numbers and THAT would be historically accurate; they also ignored the fact that they weren't the nimblest of tanks (over rough ground, anyway - they were faster than a Sherman on a good road).
Nerfing something directly is a crime against quality gaming. Nerfing it through other, cleverer means is the only way to go.

A crime would be to leave shitty unbalanced perks like martydom and the tube in the game. I can't tell you how many games were ruined for me by people tubing in cod4. In fact all the servers that I play in now ban it on sight.
A good example is the p90. That gun fucking rapes all the other SMGS in a straight 1 to 1 fight. It does more damage and shoots way faster than all the other SMGS and it also has a deep ass clip. Therefore everyone chooses that gun first since it's the best. If they had just nerfed the damage but left the high ROF and Deep clip it would not be so fucking uberpowered and people would actually choose other guns. I personally use ak74u as my SMG but that's because I refuse to use the p90 since I don't want to be a scrub.
Anohter example is the ak-47. That gun rapes the shit out of people. It's a 2 shot kill if you hit the chest and it's not that hard if you SS instead of spray. Think about how many ak-47's you see and compare that to the number of mp44's and g3's.
The ratio is pretty bad. I'd say about 1 g3 and m14 to every 10 ak-47's. If they just added a bit more deviation angle and recoil to the AK it would'nt be so fucking godly. I pretty much use the ak-47 exclusively (and I can cross map with it on ambush when I SS)
The RPD just rapes. Period. While the SAW is crap unless you go into HC.
Example, case and point.
There are exceptions to the "all people use X weapon because it is exceptionally better" rule. These people either don't have it or don't like it generally.
Yeah... then there are those of us who play games for fun, and don't give a toss. Especially when we can hose anyone with any weapon effortlessly (which I can't in CoD4, but I can in other games).
Honestly, fuck the balance police. They can stick to TF2 and CSS and shit, us realism gamers don't want them.
.

You quite sure about that?
