I don't think its a problem because I'm pretty sure Call of Duty's matchmaking system places you in games with people of similar skill.

So yes, a level 50 that has unlocked all the guns/perks would destroy a level 3, but for the most part the level 3's are placed in games with other level 3's, while the 50's are placed in matches with other 50's.


Granted, my response was Call of Duty specific, so other games may be more unbalanced

Then what's the point of leveling up?

Unlocking everything.  When you are level 1 you have like 5 gun options, no attachments, 3 killstreaks, no contracts, etc.  The games are relatively tame because you are still learning and all of the awesome stuff is still locked away.

When you hit 50 you get all the cool stuff and get to customize your play experience.  Tons of guns, loads of attachments, color customization, a plethora of killstreaks, lots of contracts to choose from.

For example, in lower level games most people are running around with Spy Planes and Care Packages (both very tame, low-level stuff) as their killstreaks, but by the time you reach max level the games are filled with attack-dogs and Chopper Gunners.
