None of this is intended as a personal insult to him, simply as a means of giving the MPGH population a correct view of the K2.
You used the K2's "image" stats as opposed to the actual stats of the K2.
In terms of accuracy, the m4 is the best rifle in the game. The k2 has 4 bullets before recoil really takes hold up close, and yes the m4 has 3. The m4, however, shoots more accurately while moving, and recoil resets far quicker than the K2. Therefore, the m4 has higher accuracy.
In terms of power, the K2 has a slight advantage over the m4, being three shots to kill to the body (as opposed to the m4's...three). But, the K2 does slightly more damage. However! At distance, THE K2 does less damage than the m4a1!
Ok, I said accuracy/power, ie accuracy divided by power. It means the power makes up for the accuracy the m4a1 has over it. And just fyi, these reviews are meant to be a PLAYERS perspective, not someone who is always checking what they hit at what distance
This is, perhaps, the stupidest thing I have ever heard someone write in an analysis of a gun's merits. Pick this gun because people won't gun steal you? Are you high? Are you (expletive deleted) high?
Moving on.
I simply meant people who pick up guns generally don't pick up the grey ones, they go for the gold/silver/camo/red ones.
He listed his gameplay stats (in ghost mode, where the gun matters very little; if you know where the ghost is you will kill them), not how he used the gun, or it's advantages, or anything relative to why a player should use the gun.
It's first thoughts, I simply relayed my first game with it. My first thought: This is a brilliantly underused gun.
This is true. The AK is a close-up gun (in general), while the m4a1 is a distance gun (in general). The K2 is a marvelous blend of both guns, combining up-close firepower with long-range accuracy.
You think it's only good because the CrossFire developers won't fix it's overpowered stats? Why doesn't every player in WoGL use a K2?
Because I feel you can do well with any assault rifle, and as i've said before it's underused.
The K2's reload is terribly slow in comparison to the m4a1 or the AK47. In addition, its fire-rate is slower than the m4 as well.
I never notice the difference in reloads because they are pretty much similar.
This is true, but I don't like how he is spinning his analysis in favour of the K2.
Every assault rifle, you can one-shot across the map with. Duh? It's a headshot-to-kill.
The K2 has a sharp damage-over-distance loss, dealing only 23 damage in the chest across Long A at Black Widow.
You right ever assault rifle CAN one shot accross the map, doesn't mean the k2 isn't better than the m4's and doesn't mean the ak isn't better at it in than the k2. Being able to do something doesn't mean someone can't do it better than you.
Why does this matter?
A review gives every aspect, the price is very important. Due to your vip you've obviously spent a lot on the game and do not remember when you were new to the game and had to save up money.
This is absolutely and blatantly not true.
The k2 is a balanced mix between the AK47 and the M4A1. Both guns, however, are better than the K2.
K2 vs. M4
Fire Rate: M4, M4+1
Reload time: M4, M4+1
Damage rate: K2, K2+1.
Accuracy cooldown: M4, M4+1
Recoil (over first 5 bullets): K2, K2+1.
Weapon Weight: M4, M4+1
The M4 wins 3-2 over the 6 most important points of a gun.
K2 vs. AK47
Fire Rate: AK47, AK47+1.
Reload time: AK47, AK+1.
Damage rate: AK47, AK47+1.
Accuracy cooldown: K2, K2+1
Recoil (over first 5 bullets): K2, K2+1
Weapon Weight: K2, K2+1.
The K2 ties with the AK47 3-3 over the 6 most important points of a gun.
Saying "imo it's better than the m4" is stupid, ignorant, noobish, and so many other things that I don't even know what to say to it.
"the important points" are wrong. Simply I play better with the k2 than the m4, and better with the ak than the k2. These are my reviews about how I feel the gun plays, not how the developers made it.
A skilled player wins matches, not guns. Use what works for you. I agree that the K2 is underused, and a decent gun. However, it is not any better than either of the other two.
It can though, you said it would beat the ak at long range (I don't agree, but what ever) and you said it would beat the m4a1 at close range.
That's true.
People say it's a scrub gun because they QQ every time they die. They'll do the same to Tars, QBZs, XM8s, and everything else.
And, this gun is designed to be a hybrid between the AK47 and the M4A1. Up close, you will be out power-housed by the AK47, and far away you will be out-sniped by an m4. However, it is balanced in every situation, and is a very good gun!
Just to stress the point, my reviews are my point of view, that's it. Not how the gun was meant to be made or anything, simply what i FEEL is right and wrong about it. I would say your a mathematician/scientist due to the fact you always think about the numbers.
Cheers!
