Both drift0r and XboxAhoy are awesome. I like XboxAhoy's style of giving the history of the gun first.. He also gets to the point faster and his videos are shorter. Though the options he recommends for setups for a weapon are narrow. He doesn't do the history any more for the guides, though he is planning on incorporating another series solely for that purpose. And what do you mean by his options being "narrow"? One class setup tip. Sometimes it's difficult to suggest class setups due to personal preferences anyway, especially with sniper rifles. If I was a Youtube Hero I'd suggest giving the Ballista a try with its iron sights attachment in BO2 purely because I enjoyed using it but you'd want the DSR for "tryharding" anyway. Some snipers hate on thermal because it takes away the skill in identifying targets supposedly, some will refuse to use Amplify (I won't) etc. One of my friends told me he was using a sniper rifle for closer ranged engagements and I was like "wtf are you trying to wind me up?!" but then he pondered on using ACOG on the L115. So I just told him to use a semi-automatic since a second shot will be more important there.

XboxAhoy's videos aren't fun to watch for their informational nature which is all stuff you can get in a much more easily referenced format like a spreadsheet (which goes for pretty much every "weapon reviewer" out there), but for his superb style and professional production values. (His class setups are always wacky in terms of practical value, but if he was only trying to make the most "effective" classes for each weapon, he'd be doing the same basic thing for all the guns of a certain type, so he changes it up for the sake of variety.)
And his sexy, sexy voice.
If I were going to do weapon reviews, I'd direct viewers to the stats in the description then only discuss hard tactics or specific class permutations. I would ask "Why should you use this?" first followed by "how would you use this?" so most of the videos would be like two minutes long.
What's hilarious about CoD is that no matter how pointless or without a niche a gun is, it will still have a devoted and rabid following unless it's the RPK from Black Ops.

Yeah I don't get impressed by weird class setups, but I can dig certainly dig clever since realistically speaking, if we're talking all full-auto ARs, for example, they're all basically the same with small changes that don't matter nearly as much as most players like to think. Like what would make a bigger difference: having an SA-805 in your hands vs. an AK-12 or having Amplify on your class or not? The latter, of course... so I can appreciate a class that veers away from the center provided it works. Like the Riot Shield.
Examples are really few and far between though. Most of the time it is just "yo man i mixed sitrep and fmj and shot so many satcoms through walls it's gr8" or "1 Weird Trick to Get a Good KDR (Pubstompers HATE him!)" or "i had one good game with this wacky guy setup i'm going to tell all my e-friends <3."

You know what grinds my gears these days?
"Hey guys this is somethingsomethingsomething and today I'm showing you somethingsomethingsomething."
Every. FUCKING. Time. I swear, everyone and their mother uses this phrase before devolving to generally petty, obvious commentary. The dubstep isn't helping, either!

"i had one good game with this wacky guy setup i'm going to tell all my e-friends <3." So many retards online (friends of friends) know dick about game mechanics (lag especially), get host for one game, and think whatever gun they happened to be using at the time is godlike. This is the source of 80% of gun "diversity" in CoD, guaranteed.

So many times, I'm on the internet, and I forget what page I'm on, and I panic, and I never remember to look at the address bar. I'm glad people do that, so I can calm down and enjoy my boy Xx_SwagYolo420_xX's video.
