The Last Word is one of the most powerful weapons you can encounter in the Crucible. So powerful, it can kill you in less than a second (That's like a heavy weapon killtime). Often times, it doesn't matter if you get the first shot off; The Last Word user can just turn the battle the around in the blink of an eye without any real effort.
I've been told by multiple users that the eponymous perk the weapon has is actually bugged. The extra precision damage applies not only to hip firing, but aiming down the sights as well. That means that people who use this weapon are exploiting a glitch in the game to their advantage, which means they're cheating.
Look it up. Last time I checked the Xbox Live terms of service, exploiting unintended elements in a game to your advantage constitutes cheating. I'm sure PSN has similar terms. Bungie is no stranger to banning people for this sort of thing; Achronos himself stated back in the Halo 2 days that the use of the button glitches in that game in Matchmaking was cheating and a bannable offense.
I'm sure some of you (probably the people who use the gun) will start calling me names, saying that I suck or am a sore loser, yadda yadda yadda. But it doesn't really matter; the terms are clear. If you use the Last Word in Crucible in that manner, [i]you are technically cheating.[/i] There's no if's, and's, or but's about it. You are cheating.
You're welcome.

You sir, are an idiot. This is coming from someone who does not own the last word... If you really think that someone using a weapon as intended (by holding left trigger down) is in anyway cheating, then you are the biggest moron to hit these forums... And to sit there and think that Bungie would punish anyone for using said weapon, well that makes you a bigger idiot. THIS IS IN NO WAY EXPLOITING ANYTHING. BROKEN MECHANIC OR NOT, THIS IS NOT CHEATING, EXPLOITING, OR ANYTHING EVEN CLOSE TO THAT!!! Wow... I think reading your post is even making the people who read it dumber... I feel like it cost me a few brain cells for sure... Oh and your mommy called. She said it was time for lunch. She made your favorite. Mayonnaise sandwiches with Cheesy Poofs!! So you better get home before you get grounded and cant get on the game or forums!!
