Funny, I just tried the MG4 today with and without grip. I hardly noticed any difference at all with the grip on tbqh. It's M4 vs. ACR recoil. Mostly I'm just curious if the Grip offsets the added recoil of the ACOG, because if so that'd be pretty sweet.

I notice the grip at long ranges. As said before, grip is nigh-ACR recoil. That said, it's good that there's a LMG that doesn't need grip on it like the other ones. That opens up the other attachments. Silencer (flash suppressor) sucks with ALL the LMGs without SP. I really don't like what IW did with it. I guess suppressed LMGs were a hardcore mode addition? After playing with gripped MG4 a lot more, it does seem to veer off just a tad at long distance on full auto, such that maybe a couple of bullets may miss. But the gun is crazy accurate enough that you can quick pulse/burst shoot such that your ROF barely (if ever) drops, with no bullet missing. As somebody that never really liked the M249/M240, I have to say the MG4 has made me a believer in a 30 damage LMG in Core mode. Killing moving targets in 3 consecutive bullets at long range is just... wow. I'm liking it more than the AUG at the moment (*gasp*).

Killing moving targets in 3 consecutive bullets at long range is just... wow. I'm liking it more than the AUG at the moment (*gasp*). I think silenced LMGs was just an appeasement move. IW was adding silenced Shotties (which are FAR more ridiculous than silenced LMGs, FWIW) and silenced Snipers, so they pretty much had to silence LMGs, too. In fact, silenced LMGs in core are pretty comparable to silenced snipers in core. Both take dramatic hits in killing speed. With that said, I've got an AUG with a Grip/Silencer, Bling, and SP class that I switch to when I want to punish teams that have all replaced UAV in their killstreaks. You get all of the stealth benefits of a Silence/Cold Blooded class, with the killing power of an LMG. To be honest, silenced ARs still outclass it, but sometimes I just feel like using a silenced LMG.
