User blog:Sgt. S.S./Why do people want the XM8 so bad?

Seriously, why? If someone brings up the topic of "What weapons would you like to see in MW3?", be it online or in real life, all I see or hear is XM8, XM8, XM8. What is the goddamn fascination with it? Why not put in the HK416 instead, which is like the XM8's better cousin? Why use a failed prototype?

So, can someone please explain why everyone wants the goddamn XM8 in MW3? To quote a wise man: Explain this bullshit!
