you not wrong at all, the M14 had kick but the stopping power was worth it. Once you stopped looking for them strafe fights there was no need for IW or STG77 imo. Hell with trigger taps the M16 shot faster than most guns in the game
TBH M4A1 and 552 silenced weren't bad either...the graphics were so bad that you HAD to check each corner cause anyone could blend in with that persistent fog
I cant remember the map name but its the one with all Osama characters on the terrorists team and its rocky like afghanistan. I swear you could hide in the open cause the graphics weren't there yet
