@Blazingsand, you are both right and wrong.

Whats overused is the AK74u, not OP, just overused, and also Ghost But, ghost is actually a big problem because it is extremely overused. You see, Cold Blooded was in MW2, it did the same thing, and even more. However, Cold Blooded was located in the tier with Stopping Power, a sort of mandatory perk, so it balanced off other perks than would be dangerous to the game if overused. In Black Ops, there is no such thing. Ghost is basically the only perk worth using in the fist tier, that's why its so overused. Some people would consider Scavenger, but Treyarch gave players 4 mags to start with now, plus if using dual mags, your ammo doubles. Flak Jacket is considered often, but many choose Hacker to detect claymores, the main reason FJ is used. So basically Treyarch is forcing you to use Ghost.

Overpowered - Famas, AUG This is what I dont understand. Treyarch goes through all the time and extra effort to balance all the guns in the game, and indeed they do a good job at it. BUT then, they place just one gun ( I consider the Famas and AUG as the same) that BLOWS away all the others. I can't see how that makes sense. If you are using any gun besides the FAUG, you are at a disadvantage. So the game actually forces you to use the FAUG. I like the Commando alot, but in close quarter battles, even though I land the 1st shot, the FAUG's fire rate is so high it incinerates my Commando.
