Am I the only person that thinks the M4 Carbine is basically just as cheap and eze-mode as the P90? Sure, I was one of the many people to use it up until I got the Red Tiger camouflage for it... and the funny thing was, I actually thought I was a good player because I was untouchable with the gun. Then I realized; I'm not a good player, the M4 just does all the bloody work for me.
No recoil, hardly any bullet spray/deviation, and decent rate of fire. It's a point and click killfest. I'd be more convinced that a player had skill if he ran around the map atomizing people with a PEWPEW lazer gun. The M4 really isn't much of a challenge. At least the AK gives the player a bit of a kick - you know - a little murmur in the shoulder. Everyone uses the M4 as well. It's a new form of FPS Communism... you can bet that 80%+ of players in an S&D server (sniper whores and shottie enthusiasts aside) will be using some form of M4 combo. That's just booooring. In the previous games, there was a lot of variation per map... several bolt-actions, several semi-autos, several machine-guns, and the same share of cheap and nasty sprayfests. But the point is that people actually used ALL of them. Now it's all Player1 [Killed-M4] Player2. Snore.
I for one am now playing Hardcore mode with a silenced M17, or a G3 with red-dot lazer. The G3 is a seriously over-powered gun right now in Hardcore mode, and I'm going to make the most of it whilst I can... because it is actually rather sucky in normal gametypes .
