They both have s hit-tier recoil so all it comes down to is the SCAR's damage and range vs the AN-94 variable rpm. Considering these maps are just too gosh darn golly gee whiz tiny, range is a moot point. Not necessarily. The SCAR's 3hk range is pretty significant on all maps, even nuketown. BO2 maps in general are a little bit smaller and more CQC-oriented but that doesn't mean longshots never happen. It could also be said that with an accuracy of 15-20%, that one extra bullet firing at a faster rpm is moot. This rpm is further diminished for people who fire before fully ADSed in CQC. Burst firing will help both weapons. The AN-94 may sound like the better burst weapon because of it's high rpm but all that does is make the second shot for inaccurate. When burst firing, RPM isn't important for these two guns because of their high recoil, you have to slow down the fire rate enough to become accurate for long shots regardless.

I guess I can only speak for myself when I say, the second bullet usually hits for the AN. But, I can say that any time the SCAR can hit three bullets, the AN can, faster, even without the second bullet. I just hate that the SCAR has such high recoil that it's hard for me to take advantage of the range.

I'll just say that in practice the AN-94 has much lower recoil than the SCAR on average over the first 2-3 shots. As someone who knows enough to burst fire at any extended range the AN-94 works far better for me as it takes less time to settle on average. Putting on select fire makes it a lazor.
That's not to say the Scar isn't usable, because it is but it certainly wouldn't be my first choice of the two.

I still love my SCAR, I don't care what you people say!! but really, I like it because the silencer is almost free after the range buff, given the average range of engagement in this game. Even with a silencer, it is VERY rare to need more than 3 shots with the gun. Recoil is easier to control on PC so it's really not any harder for me to control the SCAR than the AN-94 - I can be highly accurate with both weapons, so it just comes down to the AN-94's variable RoF for me. Most times I manually burst it to decrease my TTK but also keep the full-auto option available just in case. However, the centerspeed increase it gets makes the 2-burst DEADLY accurate with a 750rpm if you can time everything right.

After the fourth bullet, the average RPM will be 804. denkirson.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=general&thread=5981&page=1#138760
