I know that there's already a few games that have utilized this, but I'm not aware if any do it for online multiplayer games (or none I've played). But I was wondering what it would be like if you had to maintain your gun during online play. Example, having guns jam, misfire, get less accurate. It would definately make it slightly harder to get longer killstreaks and limit the effectiveness of "overpowered weapons." It would be a good way of taming awesome guns without sacrificing the aspects that make them great. (1887's anyone?)

I know for the most part it would be a nuisance on the game but I think certain aspects of that would be cool. It would also bring out different characteristics of certain guns. Whereas an M16 may be more accurate than an AK-47, the AK was easier to clean and maintain in the field so some guns obviously would be faster to clean than others. I think some variation of this would be cool to see in a COD game, although I know it'll slow the game down and probably turn a lot of people off (even myself) if done incorrectly. Just a thought, any other opinions on it?
