The  F2000 beats all assault rifle hands down, To the point where i feel its unfair that im using it . coming close is the m16 tho.

" @ShaunassNZ: Stopping Power and Hardline are tier 2 so you can't equip both "

"I like the FAL, AUG, and WA2000.  If a whole team is using Stopping Power, they are powerless to defend against killstreaks for the most part. "

"The bursts just aren't fast enough regardless of which weapon you are using to make it feasible for you to turn and pop a shot off, because the guy at your side is going to be able to hit you before you can line up your shot. With an automatic weapon, you can start shooting as you aim, while with a burst weapon you are kind of forced to line up before each shot. As a result, an enemy who can get you in a position where you don't have the time to line the shot up is going to have the advantage."

its all bout the ACR ;)

" I would say the M93 Raffica is the weapon to beat. It's an M16 - pistolized. "

I think eventually, every weapon combination and perk will be bitched about......

use em or don't & get owned by them simple as that! besides we AR users need something strong enough to stop those Akimbo shotgun nOObs in there tracks the answer a freaking M16 or FAMAS!

They don't complain about it because the best weapon in the game by far is the 1887

If you can aim and pull the trigger super fast the FAL is absolutely monstrous.  I don't bother using Stopping Power 'cause 3 bullets is all you need with that gun.  My ratio's been climbing steadily ever since settling on the FAL for every map, every situation.

I don't find the Famas or the M16 overpowered at all. Even at a distance, I prefer other ARs (ACR or Scar). I don't like not killing the guy on the 3-round burst, then sitting there and waiting before I can fire again. I like my bullets on demand.

I've been trying to play with all the other rifles lately for points and to check things out, and I still always find myself going back to the ACR and the Scar. Basically, the ARs are really balanced... you can use any of them and be successful if you use them right.

The FAL has been climbing on my list, and I'm really trying to like the Tar-21, but it's almost "no-grip LMG" wild when you let it just go.

Am I the only one who can't play with an AR without having Scavenger as a perk? If I don't, I run out of bullets long before I'm ready to die. I'm not a spammer... but I'm liberal with the trigger.

The 1887's though are insanely overpowered. Last night alone, I was hunting a sniper, and he popped around a corner and just fired. Even in his killcam, all you can see of me was the tip of my elbow and my foot as I was sprinting away. But I died. I don't think he even aimed. He wasn't that close to me, but wasn't that far either. I think the damage they deal is fine... the but range is insanely too long.

Forget talking about the guns, they aren't really overpowered it's just people getting proficient with them after 48 hours of use.  
 
My big gripe is final stand. You can't kill them until their animation finishes, but they can shoot you on the way down. When you play hardcore like I do, that means you die way too much from that garbage.
 
I wouldn't complain about that if when you shoot them in the upper chest/neck/head region they stayed down, but apparently they're still capable of both staying alive, and shooting you.
 
To fix that perk they AT LEAST need to make your vision horribly impaired while downed. I mean, hell, if I got shot in the chest three times by an M16, I know my vision and manual dexterity wouldn't be top notch.
