MG4 - Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Weapon Guide

Facebook: http://facebook.com/AhoyYT Twitter: http://twitter.com/xboxahoy Like all the LMGs, it's a fully automatic weapon. It's unlocked at level 16. It's a German weapon, manufactured by Heckler and Koch, designed during the late 1990s and was adopted by the Bundeswehr in 2005. It fires the intermediate 5.56 millimetre NATO cartridge, just like the M16 and its variants, although as a belt-fed weapon the MG4 is designed for support roles and more sustained fire. In game, the MG4 is one of the lower powered LMGs, dealing 30 damage per shot at all ranges - the same as the M240. It does, however, boast very low recoil - the MG4 is capable of putting rounds on a target even when firing full auto. Unfortunately, the MG4 is marred by a couple of faults in-game - the silencer available doesn't function correctly, and worse still the iron sights are misaligned - the actual point of impact is somewhere near the bottom of the central front post, rather than the tip. Because of this, the optical attachments are a very sensible choice with the MG4. You can compensate without, but even knowing the approxmiate offset, it's difficult to land shots accurately at long range. To be most effective with the MG4, you need to fire from a stationary position, ideally from behind cover or while prone. Good awareness of where the enemy is spawning and their likely movement should help you set up a firing position ahead of them, where you should have no trouble in taking them out. In a more aggressive role you can push towards the enemy, and if you can flank them or take them by surprise you may be able to take out an entire group. Hold your ground and if you're in a good position you may even be able to repel their counterattack, as they attempt to score a revenge kill. Don't linger too long in one position, however, as the more people you kill the more who will be out for revenge - you can expect a barrage of grenades and explosives to come your way if
