The F2000. Yeah, I made the effort of using every gun in the game for this guide. Got to agree with you there, its another like the TAR. I can't really see what it's good for. I found it's a lot better if you use it in burst though.
Here's my effort so far. I'm gunna call it quits for tonight and get some kip.
Introduction
Welcome to my MW2 multiplayer guide. This is the first guide I've ever written so it might not be anything special, all constructive criticism is appreciated. Anyone who is thinking about flaming, go **** yourself =]. So in the guide I'm going to try and cover every aspect of multiplayer. I’m going to try and make this as noob friendly as possible. One thing I have never seen in any multiplayer guide that I find vitally important is the routes that should be run at the start of a games, I try and explain this is a lot of detail. The guide will be based mainly towards team deathmatch, because that’s what I play and what I’m best at. When I explain the gun I will be explaining purely on a COD basis. For a start I know **** all about gun, and who really wants to read me ramble on about some shit that has nothing to do with COD.
1.0 Weaponry
1.1 Assault Rifles
M4A1
The M4A1 is overall a pretty well rounded gun. Accuracy range and rate of fire are all very good on this weapon. The place this gun falls down is its damage stats. Being a semi auto gun though, this doesn’t really matter. The rate of fire really makes up for the lack of power that this gun has. Unlike most guns this fairly high rate of fire does not cause an awful lot of recoil. The M4 is unlocked at level four as soon as you get to create a custom class, so I would recommend new player giving this gun a shot. One thing that I would recommend with this weapon is that you get the red dot on it as soon as possible. I’m not crazy about the iron sights; I guess that just personal preference though. I’ve seen a lot of players using the holographic sight on this gun, so I would recommend giving it a shot and seeing what you think. Holo is not for me, but each to his own.This is a very friendly gun to players who are new to the COD franchise, highly recommended.
Famas
I like to call this gun the marmite gun, you love it or you hate it, it’s really that simple. Like the first assault rifle available in the last IW (Infinity Ward) COD (M16A4) this is a three round burst gun. The three round burst has one massive advantage; it gives the gun the ability to hit a mosquito’s cock from 100 yard. The accuracy on this gun is really something to behold. If you point the gun at something it’s going to hit it no two ways about it. The range on this gun is also very good, as with all assault rifles because the stat is exactly the same on all of them. Rate of fire is yet another amazing stat for this gun. It chucks bullets out at an incredible speed for a 3 round burst. However as with the M4 the damage is nothing special. Stopping power does nothing to the Famas damage stats, it’s going to take you two burst what if you hit the person in the chest. However this gun is a monster for hardcore matches. One burst and the guy is going to hit the fall, this with the stunning accuracy of the Famas makes it a very good choice for lower level hardcore players. The one thing I not crazy about however is the guns abilities at close range. This is the downfall of three round burst. When using the Famas, I recommend always letting a team mate run around the corner first. Random people online are normally too stupid to let someone else go first, so use this to your advantage. While they are getting shot, strafe round the corner and put a burst in the guy’s face. You team make more than likely would have done some damage to the enemy so one bursts should be enough. Sure they may get the kill sometime, but isn’t that better than losing your kill streak? Another way to fix the CQB problem is to use the shotgun attachment you unlock after 20 kills with a noob toob. Final though: Not very noob friendly, but exceptional for more advanced players.
SCAR-H
Finally we’re on to a gun with immense damage stats. The SCAR can be an absolute monster when being used in the right hands. More advanced players will rape with this gun! I’m probably going to get slated for this, but think of it like the AK47 in COD4. I find this gun has a bit of recoil, but nothing that can’t be solved by a little bit of skilful shooting. If you shoot in burst, you’ll be able to pick people off from distance with ease. Surprisingly the scar has good accuracy stats, unlike the AK47 from COD4. Another thing that makes the two guns similar is there average at best rate of fire. You don’t really notice though because what it lacks in bullets coming out, it more than makes up for in powerful bullet that hit the target. With this gun I’ve found going un-silenced is a no go. It just doesn’t seem to perform all that well without a silencer. Maybe it’s just my lack of skill with assault rifles (I snipe). I find that a silencer will cut the recoil down an awful lot and make this gun more controllable for new players to the franchise. On the subject of stealth with this weapon, is there any point putting a silencer on your gun when you are still going to be seen by UAV’s? Not in my opinion. I would highly recommend using the coldblooded perk two with this weapon. Think about it, with a really high damage stat already, do you really need more power. Unless your Jeremy Clarkson and love POWAHHHHH!!! Then it’s really pointless. So now you have a silencer and coldblooded, why not use ninja as well and turn yourself into... well... a ninja. Another downfall of the SCAR is the absolutely pathetic amount of ammo you start with. My accuracy stat is about 24%, so as you can tell I don’t waste many bullets at all and still I run lower very very very quickly. That’s why scavenger is another must have perk with this gun. I will go more in depth with the perks later on in this guide, so take a look down if you’re wondering wtf i’m on about.
TAR- 21
Could someone please tell me the point of this gun? Why would anyone ever use it? Answers on a post card please. As you can tell for the start of this, i’m not a big fan of this gun. It’s not that this is a bad weapon because every weapon has its uses in this game. That being said, I feel there are better options for what this gun is good at. The accuracy on this gun is appalling. I think that why I dislike this gun, as a general rule for all video games, even if the gun has worse power, it’s always better to hit every shot as you should be going for the head as soon as you get half decent at the game. The TAR seems like a bit of a spray and pray gun to me. It’s not even like you can do the burst technique I mention in an earlier gun because of the poor accuracy stat. The damage stat is only the same as the SCAR’s as well, so why not use the SCAR. Even the TAR’s rate of fire is average at best, so you can’t whack a silencer on it and use it like a submachine gun. I’m not going to continue to talk about this gun, because it’s starting to hurt my head trying to work out what it’s used for. Anyone who wants to write this paragraph for me, feel free to contact me on my email at the bottom or my PSN.
FAL
This gun is the MW2 equivalent of the COD4 G3. The FAL is a wonder gun for those with a lightening quick trigger finger and stunning accuracy. The FAL takes about 3 bullets in the chest to kill someone if you have stopping power, which can be extremely quick if you’re quick on the trigger. I’ve been killed by this gun before I’ve even managed to get a shot off, and that’s seeing the guy first as well. Quick reactions are an absolute must for this gun. You can’t really use it if you’re not a highly skilled player. Every single shot needs to count as you can’t spray because of the single shot fire. The accuracy stats on this gun rival that of an Intervention sniper rifle, and that is really saying something. The amount of rounds in this gun are very good, considering that a skilled player will on need one shot to kill with this gun. With a red dot sight on this gun I’ve seem players get multiple headshots the length of the quarry map. A talented sniper would struggle to get multiple headshots from there quickly because of scope sway. I think the red dot is essential on this gun to use it to its full potential. The iron sights are poor at best. I wouldn’t recommend using the ACOG scope on this weapon either. The Scope sway really ruins the whole point of the gun for me. Moving on, this is my weapon of choice for hardcore. One bullet kills... yes you saw that right, a single bullet! Considering you could fire a whole clip and land every bullet on a sixpence, that is damn impressive. Surprisingly, this gun can be pretty decent at close range, it’s just like an overpower pistol. My left hand is going to be busy later just thinking about this gun!
M16A4
So how many of you skipped through to read this part? If you did, read the whole thing you pussy! I’m not sure I should even bother explaining about this gun, if you don’t know about this gun you’ve been living underground. * Holds back the Josef Fritzl jokes*. Enough of my bullshit, let’s get on with it. As in COD4 this gun is the definition of the word beast but luckily it’s not unlocked till level 40, so everyone is not using it. If you hit high up the torso there’s a very chance of getting a one burst kill with stopping power.. That should be pretty easy, as the torso is a pretty big target compared to the head. That accuracy is the same as ever with the m16, on the money every single time. What I have noticed though is that a silencer helps an awful lot on this gun. With the 3 round burst on this gun you seem to get a bit of a bounce, meaning the gun will recoil and come straight back down. The silencer however seems to make this bounce that much smaller, meaning that you can get that next shot off accurately that little bit quicker. That split second could be the difference between life and death. As far as ammo goes, there is a fair amount there to play with. However this gun is so beast that you’ll be getting ridiculous killstreaks so you’ll find yourself running out every now and then. If you let your killstreaks do the work for you however you should be fine. I wouldn’t bother using bling on this gun; the iron sights of this gun are just about perfect. There is not really any need for any of the other attachments, unless you’re a noob toober or you want to try out the HBS (Heart Beat Sensor). As for using this gun in hardcore, surprisingly I wouldn’t recommend it. Shock! Horror! I’d have to use the FAMAS. As damage stats don’t matter, it’s down to everything else. The accuracy is about the same. However the FAMAS gets its shots off a tiny bit quicker.
Here's my effort so far. I'm gunna call it quits for tonight and get some kip.

the TAR-21
to put it straight i hate this gun but i know why its good.
compare the TAR-21 to all other assualt rifles whats the difference? Fire rate.
the tar-21 is the only automatic assault rifle with very good fire rate and good damage(bar like the AK47), like you said M4 is fast but low damage, scar is high damage but slow, famas is low damage and 3 burst, m16 is 3 burst, FAL is semi-auto, F2000 is pure recoil and terrible sights.
the tar therefore is the stand out best gun for pure run and gunners, its great at mid range combat, and when you get caught by surprise in close quarters it has the fire rate to beat anything bar a submachine gun. its downfall is poor accuracy and recoil, but because its damage and rate of fire are good, this doesn't matter at close/medium range as you kill so quick. if your on the move alot, the tar is a perfect gun.
