I use the SMG class' guns way more than Assault Rifles. Meaning I have at least 700 kills with 4 different SMGS and only 700+ with 2 Assault Rifles. The game is more of a SMG orientated game based off the maps, objective points and Ghost/UAV usage. There are a few ways and maps where you can do well with other weapon types but unlike other COD games you can't rush with an Assault Rifle as recklessly as you can with SMG. You can definitely rush with them but you have more limitations.

Which ARs would you recommend?
Me personally I'd say FAL, AN94, Scar and M8A1 by far. I like single shots so I'd never do the whole full auto Fal thing. But semi Auto FAL with good trigger finger isn't the easiest gun but it's arguably the most devastating. You can rush with it but taking on 3+ enemies can be a little tricky so cover is needed more. Scar is actually underrated considering how fast it shoots and the damage. M8A1 is basically like a slightly lesser version of MW3's Type 95. If you are even remotely accurate it's probably best AR in the game just because it's easier to burst than single shot. AN94 has lots of damage, a manageable recoil and has the nostalgic AK47 feeling. My favorite AR is FAL which I just got gold with sight and extended mags. But I still have more kills with PDW and Vector lol
