alright, i dont want to start a new thread(as usual), nor i want to join other forums to ask im confused about the attachment combos, i am aware of the + and - but not about the outcome and use of the end result i am rank 41 now and so far im only happy with the an-94 and the m416, beside some snipers(not playing LMG much) so which attachment combo(or no combo?) is most useful for the m416 and why? i like to play on all ranges, so its needs to be balanced short mid long range end result and by balanced i mean at the same time, i dont like to change it every map and stuff.. i was monster with the tar21 back then in cod any situation any map, i like to get that feeling again if thats possible

gina: Heavy Barrel + Grip and an optic of choice. I always prefer holo sights since it has some slight zoom, but many "competitive" (as if there's an actual competitive scene for this game, lol) prefer the kobra or iron sights (more field of view) Heavy Barrel nearly eliminates the random spread from your first shot and it increases your damage over range a bit (it extends your damage falloff, if that's more helpfull to understand). It does add a bit more vertical recoil but since vertical recoil is always constant (it's not random like horizontal recoil, it always kicks this much up every shot) you can counter it pretty easily so it's hardly a big downside The grip removes some of the random horizontal recoil, at the cost of adding some spread to your first shot (the thing that the heavy barrel intends to remove) however, when you use a grip + heavy barrel the heavy barrel wins by alot, so you get both better long range accuracy as well as less horizontal recoil than a naked gun. If you dont mind horizontal recoil you can also just leave the grip out (and maybe add an underbarrel too it. Just dont pair the M26 mass with a heavy barreled weapon; that combo is glitched and will get you banned) And on-topic, I still want to see this cage fight. Speaking of cage fights, anyone of you getting close quarters? I don't know, the game seems pretty dead to me (most of my friends have moved on and I hardly see any bros playing anymore)

TAR was the best, leave the ACR for the bads. AN-94 only has one logical attachment combo, and that's foregrip + HBAR. Bipod works too, but it's situational, and due to the AN-94's nature the foregrip's penalty is moot. Add to that the spread bonus from the HBAR, and the penalty may as well not exist. M416 is more up in the air. While it's not super slow, the M416 is slow enough that it needs to focus on ranged combat and sneak attacks. Any barrel attachment will work. The silencer will hurt medium range power a bit, but it's accurate enough to make up for it. The HBAR is always good, and the M416 has low enough recoil to make the penalty less noticeable. The FS is fine if you can't settle on anything. The barrel attachment depends on preference. The M416 doesn't need the foregrip, but it can provide some help. Automatic ARs are too mobile, and they don't have the area denial power to make bipods worthwhile. M320 and M26 are great additions; the M26 especially, since the M416 is somewhat weak up close. For the M416 I'd personally recommend either M26 + HBAR (after the bug is fixed of course), or M320 (smoke preferably) + silencer. If you aren't comfortable with giving up the medkit, then ol' reliable foregrip + HBAR works well. And on-topic, I still want to see this cage fight. Speaking of cage fights, anyone of you getting close quarters? I don't know, the game seems pretty dead to me (most of my friends have moved on and I hardly see any bros playing anymore) I still play sometimes. Most servers ban the M26 bug now, so the game is tolerable again. I know I'll get CQ, since as I've said before my major problem with this game is the crappy map pool. I just hope the maps aren't too...Metro, if you know what I mean. Although I just got done with my 100 L96 kills, leaving it at everything but the MK3 (I'm never going to unlock that thing...). Grinding more guns will make me crazy. Well, just the sniper rifles. Bring on everything else.

Well, I don't know. On one hand, I want to play the game since it still has the potential to be fun. On the other hand, the times I tried to play weren't fun. On top of that the way post-launch support is handled along with the new premium that's announced..I don't know
I may buy but certainly not day 1 (or day 8, since we get to wait 1 week; thanks for that Sony)

thx
HBAR is my most used barrel attachment by now so i will stick to it, my main thought was to use the grip or not, if its not that big of a deal ill put it on especially im using medkit all the time and i dont like the bipod on ARs that much
