To be perfectly honest WaW is rather awful, especially when compared to CoD4. The SMGs absolutely dominate every weapon, except maybe the MG42, M1919 or the StG in some situations.

Black Ops is a lot more balanced; especially since the Skorpion is the highest-damage in CQC for an SMG but is total trash outside of 3 metres.
