Assault Tier
The Assault tier is a combination between power, accuracy and high rates of fire into one, little package. It is a very good and versatile set and if perfected, will give the player to be able to use most of other tiers with ease.
M16A4
The M16A4 is a very good starting weapon. Let me make that clear right off the bat. But it’s also one of the hardest to learn how to use and if perfected will lead the owner to victory most of the time. The M16 fires in three-shot bursts and offers the wielder good accuracy, as good as any of the other semi-automatic rifles.
Recommendation of Mr.Waulrus: Using a Red Dot Scope and Stopping Power perk is the key to perfection.
AK-47
The AK-47 if wielded by a person who knows how to use it, maybe at times more deadly than any other weapon out there. It can fire full auto, but that will severely decrease the accuracy thus making the weapon miss the target and alert the person being fired upon without being damaged.
Recommendation of Mr.Waulrus: Because, the general consensus on the forums is that the AK-47 features almost the best iron sight in the game, it is highly suggested to place a silencer on the weapon as well as stopping power perk to make it just that much more deadly. Plus it will make you invisible on the enemy’s radar. Also I would suggest bandolier if available because you seem to run through the clips on the AK-47 quite fast if you are not firing in short, well-placed bursts.
M4 Carbine
The M4 Carbine is another fully automatic assault rifle that has the ability to perform wonders if wielded right. It’s more accurate than the AK-47 at some instances and the iron sight, while not bad may take some time of getting used to. Also, it does not deliver the kick of the AK-47. In some situations, it may take a few more shots to take a person down. It all depends on how those shots are planned.
Recommendation of Mr.Waulrus: After playing with it for a while, I found myself doing more damage with the Red Dot sight over the silencer because I was not able to master the scope. If you are like me and are having problems with it, stick with the Red Dot Sight. I would suggest the Stopping Power and Bandolier perks, for obvious reasons.
G3
The G3 is a very accurate, semi-automatic rifle favored by many of the community for those exact reasons. But the small 20 round clip and the need to press the fire button repeatedly in order to, well, fire can get on the nerves of many players if they are unused to or the spray-n-pray type.
Recommendation of Mr.Waulrus: I would recommend a Stopping Power perk along with a Red Dot Sight/ACOG scope to fully capitalize on the successes of the G3.
G36C
The G36C is a powerful, compact and highly accurate fully automatic assault rifle. It’s easy to master and the iron sights on the G36C are quite easy to use. It’s a classic that has grown on many people starting from the moment they unlocked it.
Recommendation of Mr.Waulrus: I would recommend Stopping Power, Bandolier and a Red Dot Sight for this is the most accurate fully automatic assault rifle for many players in the game. Also, take short bursts.
M14
The M14 is a high-power, high accuracy rifle with the ability to kill people with two shots, without stopping power. But with high-power comes a high price to pay, recoil. If you find that the recoil does not bother you or you have found a way around it, the M14 becomes superior to the recoil-less G3 which is loved by many.
Recommendation of Mr.Waulrus: I would recommend the use of Stopping Power and a Red Dot/ACOG scope because of the rifle’s high power and accuracy.
MP44
The MP44 is a high-power grandfather of all assault rifles. Since it was developed during World War II and was never used on the modern-day battlefields it is nothing but an old classic returning. Also because of it’s age, no attachments exist for it, making it quite a hard to master.
Recommendation of Mr.Waulrus: Take short bursts, use stopping power and get accustomed to the use of MP44’s “unusual” iron sights.
