Ive been playing cod4 for awhile now and Ivenoticed that the most popular guns are the m16 and m4 I try to switch it up and rarely use these guns anymore but its annoying when its all you see everyone has it with the blue camo or red camo not because they're a good shot but because they over use it I was wondering if anyone else has been running into this as well?

i would agree with u (and i sorta do) but that would be hypocritical cuz my favorite gun is the M16 and in my opinion it is the best lookin lol but seriously i think it is both the best and the best lookin. the M4 is popular cuz its most similar to the guns of most other games. its the easiest to learn basically.

The M16 is the best weapon in the game. So yeah, your going to see a lot of people using it a lot.

Ever since I returned home from school (a few days ago) it seems I'm never killed by anything but the M16. =/ It's definitely a great weapoon, but it only takes a burst or two whether dead on or through a wall and it never seems to miss. Maybe I'm just frustrated, but I'm starting to think it's a bit overpowered.

The M16 is not necessatily the best weapon. I use different weapons for every map. Also, the camouflage question is trivial. How do you know they're not great shots and who cares if they aren't?

I actually like it when people use the same guns. Although CoD4 is a fairly balanced game, there are some guns/perks that are extremely over powered.

I do see them a lot, but I use both of those a lot haha M4 is my favorite weapon. Although I switch it up quite a bit Im constantly using those, the p90, m60e4, m14, m1014, m21, and the Barrett. So im always chaing my weapon beacause: 1. Its good pratice to be good with every type of weapon and 2. Using the same wrapon all the time just gets boring.

I could care less if everyone used the M16. I use the MP5 and have found it is my most effective weapon in the game.

Meh, speak for yourselves. To me, the M16 is my all-purpose gun. My only issue w/ it is that I sometimes lose kills because I missed my burst by a bit and I can't spread my shots as well as I can with the M4 to just puncture the cover. So, those are my "general" guns, but I switch it up. For close-quarters stuff, i.e. Vacant, I use the M60, because I never really have to reload. For sniper whore maps, I pull out my Dragunov. I concede the fact that for most of everything else, I resort to the M16. Although I'm trying to rank up, and it's getting dreary to not get any challenges, since I've already got ACOG for both of my favorites.

i could care less about camo but the m16 needs nerfed or pushed further back in the unlocks because as of now, 1 burst from that with stopping power will kill anyone not using last stand or juggernaut.

first off this should go in the cod4 forums. second off it doesnt matter if the gun is overused. its actually a fair gun since everyone can use itno matter what lvl. and it takes a good shot to have red camo. headshots dont come magically. hell i see alot of people using the p90 but im not going to complain.

I use different weapons all the time, and my favourite so far is the AK 47, yes that's right. It owns pretty hard, you might think it sucks but after you've played the game for a while and are good at the MP, then you'll own with it.:D

Then you havent ran into me yet. I absolutely OWN with the M249 and the M60....

Wish it was a way to use unlocked weapons in the single player story...

All the LMG's are fun to use, favourite is still RPD with grip though.

I agree! I use the AK47 on a bunch of different maps. It is a good all purpose gun unless I am on one of the bigger maps. I never see anyone using it which makes me love it even more, but I own with it and don't mind sacrificing a little kick back for power and punch. I really never use the M16. It's a good gun, but on the smaller maps I find it pretty useless and besides, I prefer the G3 on the bigger maps anyway. Many people hate the G3 as well, but once you master it the G3 is DEADLY. I'll also occasionally use the M4. It was the first weapon I really got good with, but now that I have moved on to others I don't use it as much. On a handful of stages I like to use the p90 with silencer and UAV jammer. It's a great change of pace to be able to dash around and sneak up and pop people in the back. Also, occasionally I will use a sub machine gun in the downed helicopter map (name of it doesn't come immediately to mind for some reason). Don't know why, but a sub machine gun is the only weapon that I can really do well in that map with.

Yea I play the same as you, I love sneaking around with silenced SMGs, I just found out you can silence your AK too haha, I'm going to try that.

Crash. But I agree UAV jammer can be deadly im supprised not many people use it.

I really like the G36c personally, but I ended up picking up a M16 the other day after I ran out of ammo and fell in love again, so with my higher levels I will definitely be playing some of the M16 and M4 to try and get some of the challenge point boosts.

I plonked an ACOG onto the Skorpion in the beta just for fun and it was surprisingly much more effective than I thought it would be lol.

I only use the M16 in my early ranks since its basically the only decent gun available at first. But i never use the M4 and never use the M16 once i hit a rank high enough to use something else. Depending on the map and mode, i usually run with the G3, M14, G36C, P90, or MP5. I never use a sniper rifle or shotgun, and although i did use the RPD when i first started, i never use the LMGs anymore either.

Yeah I have noticed that people do play using either the M16 or the M4, not saying that I don't, just not to the excess that they do, its pretty whack, though I do use sniper rifles alot, but thats because I favor long distance head shots. ;P

I only use the M16 for the first 10 levels to get them out of the way quickly. After that, using the M16 using stopping power, i feel like i'm cheating. It's just too easy to get kills.

G36C all the way.

I just run into people overusing their CoD4 discs. It's like everytime I get on there are people playing. It's rather annoying.
