Some Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Players Think One Lethal Item Is Overpowered

Summary

Some fans in theCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3community are debating about the use of the Breacher Drone after experiencing what the lethal item is capable of in the open beta. InCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, new and returning players may take advantage of numerous weapons and features, including the ability to avoid the blinding effect from flash grenades - though it is a new lethal item that is one of the biggest topics of focus.

Thesecond open beta weekend forModern Warfare 3introduced Highrise 24/7 and Search and Destroy into the playlist lineup, allowing players to enjoy two fan favorite modes during the beta’s final few days. Moreover, the beta’s level cap was also increased to level 30 with additional rewards such as an exclusive Jabber operator skin. While playing through the beta, someModern Warfare 3players have expressed their concern about the powerful new Breacher Drone item.

Call of Dutyfan TheMW2Ghost sparked a debate among some fans in the community after stating that the Breacher Drone should become a Field Upgrade inModern Warfare 3, implying that it’s too overpowered to be a normal lethal item. Breacher Drones may be thrown in the direction of an enemy and immediately explode upon contact. The Breacher Drone’s explosion is enough to take out more than one enemy, and some fans believe the item is too powerful to be used so frequently inModern Warfare 3’sgame modeslike Mosh Pit and Ground War.

However, many other players disagree with TheMW2Ghost and believe the Breacher Drone is a fun item to use. In fact, theBreacher Drone is one of Sledgehammer Games' favorite items inModern Warfare 3. If the Breacher Drone is moved into the Field Upgrade slot, it’s use inModern Warfare 3matches would be drastically reduced. This is due to the Field Upgrade’s cooldown meter, which may be replenished over time by earning score in matches. Some fans argue that this decision would greatly restrict the item and diminish its value inModern Warfare 3.

It’s clear that debates over the Breacher Drone will persist if the lethal item remains unchanged at launch inModern Warfare 3. Fortunately, Sledgehammer Games is open to feedback and has already made multiple changes during the open beta. One of these quick changes include a notable nerf toModern Warfare 3’sBattle Rage equipment. The second open beta weekend forModern Warfare 3will end on October 16, so players still have some time to level up and share feedback before launch.
