The SCAR-H is my favorite assault rifle by far. I was sad to see it go when I prestige. Its reliability can't be overstated. I'm considering it being my prestige 2 permanent unlock, but by then I fear I'll have prestiged it twice already...

Yeah, I was actually wondering about that. Would it be worth it to permanently unlock the AN94 over the SCAR-H next prestige?

I'll try it out. I really hate the first few assault rifles except for the SWAT.

The difference is that there is no "ACR" against it

SCAR for some reason seems to have a very fast reload as well

Yes the SCAR does have a very quick reload ADD time, the bullets are added way before the animation finishes. I honestly only prefer the AN94 when I have it in 2 burst mode. I have had some 5 hit kills with it, which I've never had with the SCAR. If I plan on going full auto I take the SCAR all the time

Love the SCAR.... mainly because I loved the CM in MW3
But I love the M27 more. I guess it's just that lack of recoil?

Amazing gun. Don't give a fuck about cover. Three hit kill at all practical ranges. Kicks like a mule, but I like it rough.

How about M8A1? I have not used it much due to its high level unlock, but I like it every time I pick it up from the ground.

it's unbelievable. burst fire m8a1 is a beast, full auto m8a1 is the best

Post by Megaqwerty on Nov 27, 2012 15:01:52 GMT -5
Without full auto, it fires at 750 RPM, which is more than fine for CQC. An extra 25% fire rate buff for CQC seems like a waste of an attachment when he's going down in a burst or two anyway.
Regardless, the M8 is borderline OP and apparently has already been nerfed at least once. Definitely try it out when you unlock it. Put a scope on it and out snipe snipers. Put a laser on it and one burst SMG users.

The M8A1 is my second AR of choice. It got a slight magazine nerf in the first patch, but after maxing it out I wouldn't call it OP. The recoil is straight up like the G36C in MW3 but you still have to know how to compensate or you will be shooting way above your target's head. In full auto it's very sexy, but dont forget about its burst. A 4 round burst at 1250 rpm is insane, especially with the ACOG. If you have precision aim, you will likely do better with it in burst mode. When I use it, I am constantly switching between auto and burst, based on what range I expect the enemies to be at. Also, try the MMS on that SCAR

So we are gravitating towards the conclusion that the 3 best ARs are SCAR-H, AN-94 and M8A1?

I'll need some advice of using FAL then. I like the weapon, but can't seem to get it going (I seem to even do better with SWAT). M8A1 on the other hand feels so easy... EDIT - list of questions: 1) Preferred list of attachments 2) How to use most effectively (e.g.: double tap?) 3) Preferred range of encounters 4) Preferred play style

Oh yeah, didn't it used to have a 46 round mag?

SCAR deals more damage than AN94, thus causing more flinch.

I run M8A1 with QD, SF, MMS. Provided you're smart about switching fire modes, it's just flatly better than every other AR. At range/against use mind bulletses you have a G11 and up close you have a Famas. Any other AR is just a chore to be completed on the road to diamond camo, novelty wallbangs aside. Sorry Scar

Well, I love the SCAR-H just cause it's the only AR with a huge recoil (SMR has a big recoil, too, but it's semi-auto, so it's not a gun for me) – it means using SCAR-H is already a challenge. If you can get used to its predictable recoil and learn to shoot with single shots in LQC, the gun will become the "beastiest" beast in this game.
Also, I prefer SCAR-H for its good penetration abilities – it helps me to wallbang the whole Hijacked map without need for FMJ attachment. Also, good Flinch suppression helps you to win lots of CQCs against SMG sprayers. And I won't even talk about its range: for the record, I have nearly 1500 kills (I do not play too often) with it but I've never had 5HK kills so far. SCAR-H is definitely 3–4 HK gun, just like SWAT-556.
I still cannot see why do people think AN-94 is better: for me it looks weak and wonky, especially its IS and its recoil, low but unpredictable. No one among my friends is using SCAR-H – everyone prefers AN-94 on it saying that SCAR-H is just a piece of ship. BTW, completing Gold camo challenge was way too easy with SCAR-H according to what are you talking about in those Gold Diamond camo challenges here. wittyscorpion, the only attachment (if you are not using scripts/modded control, of course) you need for FAL OSW is Select Fire, all other attachments are up to you – IS are already clear and sexy, recoil…what's that?, Clip size and Reload Time are already good. I use Adjustable Stock (just cause I use it everywhere) and Laser Sight (2HK in CQC with SMG's Hipspread sounds too good) with Primary Gunfighter Wildcard.

You know what's better than flinching an opponent through a wall?
Killing him.

I love the Scar H and the 556 about equally. only 2 ARs I use now (well that and the FAL). I can't stand the M8 dunno why everyone loves it so, but hey to each their own.

it's a little awkward getting used to the 4 round burst at first. Overbursting will always get you killed too. You have to time it perfectly, as you still need to connect all 4 bullets in most gun fights, if not 5

On paper, which is the best all-around performer and at which ranges? M8A1 w/laser and select fire FAL w/laser and select fire SCAR w/laser AN94 w/laser I think Laser is necessary for hipfiring and competing with SMG users since lightweight is so prominent.
