Call of Duty players usually stick to assault rifles or SMGs for their primary weapons and if you're looking for a tier list of which Assault Rifle would be the best pick for the early Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer matches, we have a list that might help with that.
Call of Duty YouTuber JGOD has made a tier list of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 assault rifles for close and long-range as well as the best all-around rifles.
Below, you'll find his favourite assault rifles and those that he didn't really like
Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 - Assault Rifles tier list
Before you take this as gospel, please keep in mind that it's still early days and the meta could change as we speak. Also, Infinity Ward will keep tweaking these weapons to find the perfect balance so the assault rifle that is bad today, might end up being very good after the upcoming patches.
Best Close-Range Assault Rifles:
- STB 556
- M16
- Kastov-74U
- TAQ-56
Best Long-Range Assault Rifles:
- Lachmann-556
Best all-around Assault Rifles:
- Kastov 762
- M4
Bad:
- Kastov 545
As for the attachments, obviously, go for what works for you. It's all about personal preferences and wether you like a responsive weapon or a more precise but slower one. Call of Duty offers countless combinations when it comes to tuning and attachments and you should definitely test most of the attachments to see what fits your playstyle.
