COD Modern Warfare 3: Weapon Guides - M4A1 [30/03/2012] - BlackChaos - 03-30-2012 Greetings once again fans of the Call Of Duty franchise! This is the first edition of my COD Modern Warfare 3 Weapon Guide series. If you're not familiar with my work, you obviously haven't read the Black Ops guides I used to post before I went on leave. Don't worry though. I'll be continuing that series as well soon after I get this one rolling. If you would like to check our the rest of the series, as well as some other useful tutorials posted here on SF, check out: http://www.supportforums.net/showthread.php?tid=19266 This is a series of Modern Warfare 3 guides aimed at helping the players to get a better understanding of how these weapons fare on the battlefield. They are based on my unbiased thoughts and opinions as an experienced gamer. Some of you might not agree and have differing opinions, but thats cool. Be sure to share your thoughts with us as well. Also, these guides will now be exclusively posted a few days in advance on GThreeForums.net than on any other site. I will be posting these often, so be sure to leave your suggestions for the next weapons guide. If I miss something, or if I need to correct something, be sure to give appropriate sources along with your feedback. Note: The following guide is only for Multiplayer. Weapon usage may differ in other game modes. Today's featured weapons is: M4A1
Type: Assault Rifle (Automatic) Unlocked at: Level 4 HUD/Pickup Image: Ammunition: 90 (starting) ~ 180 (maximum) Magazine size: 30 rounds ~ 45 (Extended Mags) Reload time (approx.): 2.0 seconds (Partially empty) 2.36 seconds (Completely empty) Rate Of Fire (ROF): 780 rpm Damage: 40-20 Being one of the first weapons in the arsenal, you really don't expect much from the M4A1. But you'll be in for quite the shocker. The M4A1 is a deadly gun, with medium to low recoil, high damage and great mobility. The reload time on it is extremely fast compared to most of the other guns in its category Its range is good, but not as effective as it should be at long range. Proficiency-wise, it doesn't benefit from Kick like most guns do, but Range and Attachments would make this gun a much better choice even to the later level guns. I, for one, used this gun up to level 20 or so until I started taking out other guns to start gaining XP. These are the various attachments available for the weapon. They have been given ratings and side notes depending on their usefulness. Sometimes I tend to copy the ratings for some guns. Thats because most guns of a category aren't really characterized much by their attachments, but at times are.
Weapon Proficiencies are special attachments or perks so to speak that can be added to a weapon. They come in a wide range of special characteristics, so we'll have a look of each one and what they have to offer to this class of weaponry. I'll add ratings as well since we're already on a roll here.
Along with the attachments, there are also Perks to consider when choosing the perfect class for this weapon. It all depends on your preference and what you're comfortable. Here are a few of my suggestions: Scavenger The M4A1 blows bullets like its christmas bonuses. You'll definitely need Scavenger if you're looking to use the gun for a longer duration of time. Hardline I tend to get really aggressive with this gun, as you might notice from my preferred class options. So Hardline really helps rake in assault killstreaks as I go along. Stalker Again a by-product of my fast-paced nature, Stalker greatly increased mobility and its pro version gives you ample amount of time to run from Claymores, Betties and IMSs. [7/10] Its just an overall fun weapon to use. I've even used it long after I had unlocked better weapons. Just goes to show that nothing beats a classic. So that's the M4A1. I hope you enjoyed this guide and learned a little about this weapon. Hopefully, you appreciate the great amount of time and effort it took to make this guide by leaving a comment below. Which weapon should we showcase next? Please leave your suggestion below. Guide compiled by BlackChaos RE: COD Modern Warfare 3: Weapon Guides - M4A1 [30/03/2012] - Fragma - 03-30-2012 Woah... That's one hell of a guide. Could you do the Barrette next? Amazing stuff though mate that's quality. RE: COD Modern Warfare 3: Weapon Guides - M4A1 [30/03/2012] - BlackChaos - 03-30-2012 Thanks a lot Fragma! I've been working on getting back to making these guides for quite some time now and I'm glad with the response so far. I'll definitely be doing either the Barret .50 cal or an SMG in the next one. RE: COD Modern Warfare 3: Weapon Guides - M4A1 [30/03/2012] - BreShiE - 03-30-2012 I'd like to see one on the MP7, I love it! Oh, and maybe the AK47.

Sigh, the AK47. How I wish it was as good in MW3 as it was in MW2. Infinity Ward definitely tuned it down a slight bit, but its still a force to be reckoned with. Thanks for the terrific suggestions BreShiE. I'll keep them in mind. RE: COD Modern Warfare 3: Weapon Guides - M4A1 [30/03/2012] - BlackChaos - 04-02-2012 So, the next guide will be on the Barrett .50cal sniper rifle. I am planning on introducing a special segment where I add the opinions and reviews of the gaming community towards the gun which is being showcased. If you would like to see your review on the Barrett .50cal added to the next guide, please post below or send me a PM. Please note that it should be of reasonable length and quality, not just one word sentences containing obscenities.
