MW2 sort of balanced out by having each weapon be OP in its strong suit. MP5k was a CQC powerhouse with it's RoF and could down someone really fast. M16A4 was a powerhouse at range, UMP .45 powerhouse at mid range. And so on. By giving each weapon it's own stand out feature, it worked. Also having Stopping Power helped out a lot since everyone used it, it sort of lead to a balance of all the other perks. Since once BO came out there was no Stopping Power and everyone switched to Ghost, and that led to its own issues.
