Okay, now, I need to ask you guys a few questions.
What are some guns that have been in every single Call of Duty game after 4 aside from W@W?
A few may come to mind, such as the M60, or the AK47. These guns changed in a few ways, but they have received a noticeable nerf, ever. Some prefer the AK from MW2 over CoD4, while others prefer the M60 in 4 over MW3.
But, can you name the one gun that has gotten considerably worse in every damn title?
Let's take a step back to 1963. The M16 is being deployed in South Nam for the first time. It is different from the M14 that was commonly used. It had problems. It fired a smaller round, jammed, and was all all-around undependable weapon. It saw widespread use in 69', and eventually became the military's go to rifle.
This gun was legendary in Call of Duty 4. If I were to ask you guys what was the best weapon in CoD4, we'd see some various answers. "MP5 was incredible!" "The P90 with Juggernaut was unstoppable!" "Teh M40 is teh best wepenz 2 evur hit da cod serees! u aint grizz bebeh!"
But, it was clearly the M16. The M16 was the best all around gun in the game. It had incredible merits at close, medium, and long range. Stopping Power+RDS on the M16 was a deadly combo. If you had the proper aim, this gun was f***ing awesome. It was personally my favorite AR from CoD4.
Modern Warfare 2 came rolling around the corner. I quickly ripped the cellophane off the Modern Warfare 2 case, opened it up and throwed it into the disc tray. Multiplayer loads up. "Oh man, I know the M16 is back! I just know it!!"
*Level 40*
";__; Oh, okay. Well, I'll just level up and get it!" Once I get around level 20, I noticed the FAMAS. Wow, this gun is funky looking. Oh, it's a three shot burst. Alright. Damn, this thing is actually pretty good. Oh, I unlocked the M16, about time.
I equip it, and it's not terrible, but it's not fantastic either. It feels different. Months pass, and the Holo sight glitch is discovered. It reduces spread when equipped with the arguably worse sight (compared to the Red Dot Sight). "Funny, how such a simple glitch could make it past the dev's eyes." I thought. Little did I know, it was no glitch. But I'll come back to that later.
Black Ops rolls around the corner. The M16 is even WORST than it was in MW2, but no surprises there. The FAMAS continues to become better, and is arguably the best AR to date in CoD history. Ugh, what an annoying gun.
Modern Warfare 3 is released a year later. "Well, I am not going to get this game. It's just a rehash of past Modern Warfares, and isn't worth the 60$"
I got the game like two days after release. The single player was good, but I finally hopped into multi and I was surprised. The M16 was another initial unlock. "The M16! :D"
I equip it, and lo and behold, it's f***ing terrible. Possibly the worst Rifle to date. The only other gun that comes to mind is the M1 Garand from W@W. Jesus, why would the Devs do this? Since I got this game a little late, I saw all this stuff about the Type 95. "Odd, this gun looks like the FAMAS, plays like the FAMAS, and is cheap like the FAMAS. Why would they put this ugly gun in here and make the M16 so worthless?"
Then it hit me. The devs are increasingly getting ready for a worldwide takeover of America. It's so simple, and yet I just thought of it. The M16 was great in CoD4, but was slightly overshadowed by the FAMAS in MW2. The FAMAS continued to whoop its *** in BO, and in MW3, it gets dominated by the FAMA- I mean, Type 95. So, what gives?
It's obvious the French are mad at America. This conspiracy goes way back to the French and Indian War. Why did the NAs want to side with the French? Well, the French have an all knowing recipe for life in the form of snails.
The Native Americans knew this, but it got lost in translation many years ago. Infinity Ward discovered this after Call of Duty 4. Now role with me here. The French have tried to keep this a secret, but the American company of Activision knew of it. France, of course, didn't know of it up until today.
Now, let's go back. In MW2, the Holo sight glitch was discovered. No one could accidentally make this glitch, it was intentional. It was a sign. It still showed America had some fight left in them and the French FAMAS could never overthrow Merica! Then things started going downhill. There was no way the M16 could keep up with the FAMAS in BO. Not even a glitch could help the M16. The French started to get weary, and that's when Activision spilled the beans to France that they know their secret. France was ready to bomb America then and there.
However, IW talked them out of it. France wanted something simple: They wanted the staple of America, the M16, to look like s***. And so it happened. The M16 continued to get worse and worse. However, the fans would start to get suspicious if the FAMAS continued to get better and the M16 continued to get worse.
So, they create the Type 95. A gun so similar, they could still give the French credit, but they can also confuse anyone who thinks something is suspicious. It was the perfect plan, until I found out the truth.
So what do we do next? We wage war. France obviously has the stronger military, but they would never see an ambush coming. IW has been trying to drop hints that the French are evil and are basically holding them hostage, and I have decoded the message. Will you join me, brothers in arms?
We must take down those dirty, smelly Frenchmen if the free world wants to continue. Who's with me?!
