10 Overpowered Video Game Weapons That Made You Rage Quit

4. M203 Grenade Launcher - Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Bigger, bolder and more bombastic: that was Infinity Ward's mantra for Modern Warfare 2 and it paid off. Mostly.

Expanded killstreaks, more diverse military arsenals and the pinnacle of map design continued to justify its reputation as the series' biggest formula change ever, but not every upgrade proved popular.

The M203 "Noob Tube" grenade launcher existed in MW2's predecessor but not like this. Yes, Infinity War had provided a huge selection of traditional bullet-spewing weaponry, but weapon loadout came down to one simple choice - can this gun use the under barrel M203? If yes, use it - and a second one, if possible - and enjoy crushing the other team without having to concern oneself with the necessity of aiming.

To make matters worse, with the right loadout, grunts could infinitely spam explosive ordnance until the other team either responded in kind or retired their controllers through a window.

Thankfully, Infinity Ward learned its lesson in Modern Warfare 3 and made the gadget borderline useless. Should there ever be a MW2 remaster, this is the first thing that needs looking at.
