I've been trying to use some different guns lately, but it isn't working out too well. For example, I've moved away from the 74u for some time now, and even though the MP5k is fun to use, to me, it just doesn't compare to the 74u whatsoever in terms of consistency and success. Again, that's just me personally, but I'm still looking for some more variety in my gun usage. A contributing factor to that 74u vs. MP5k debate for me is that I don't know what attachment to use on the MP5k. I use extendos or rapid fire, and although both have proved very useful, I'd rather just stick to one. I'll just have to use the gun more to figure it out, I guess.
The only reason I've been trying to get some variety in my gun usage anyways is because for some reason, I always tell myself that it'll be more fun and rewarding to use the somewhat less powerful/less used guns. I struggle a great deal when it comes to actually achieving the goal of these games, which is having fun. That idea kind of went down the drain, unfortunately. So far, using mediocre guns has only caused me a great deal of frustration and even more anger towards the game. Everyone else uses the OP perks and guns, so I might as well. I think as of late I've confirmed that my idea of fun is killing a lot of people.....not dying a lot with less powerful guns in an attempt to feel more rewarded for a kill with them. Really douchey sounding, I know, but I hate dying. Especially if it's because some stupid kid is just using a weapon better than mine.
