Call of Duty: MW3 players think they’ve spotted a trend: new season weapons tend to be extremely powerful compared to older weapons. This has led to a major discussion on weapon power creep, and community opinions are flocking in.

On June 2, a Reddit post surfaced discussing weapon power creep. The original poster showcased that the SP-R 208 only has an effective damage range of around 13 meters. This is a drastic difference compared to the damage range effectiveness of the new Kar98k, another Marksman Rifle, which is 50.8 meters. However, as one optimistic Reddit commenter on the post pointed out, this range is likely because the SP-R 208 has higher damage overall—which I can confirm is correct.
