F2000

The FN Herstal F2000 Tactical is an assault rifle featured in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2. The F2000 is a modular weapon system, designed to have interchangeable parts to fit a variety of combat missions; its principle component is a NATO standard 5.56mm caliber configured in a bullpup layout. The F2000 is a gas operated, fully-automatic and ambidextrous bullpup rifle. Both the safety system and trigger mechanism were adopted from the P90 submachine gun. An optional sight built specifically for the F2000 may be used, which includes a laser-guided internal computer for use with its companion Grenade Launcher, the EGLM. The computer determines the necessary angle needed for firing a grenade at a certain range, dispensing of traditional leaf sights used on grenade launchers, however, this unique system is not used in-game.

Singleplayer
In singleplayer, the F2000 is seen used by police in No Russian, and is found with a Thermal Scope in the levels Estate Takedown, The Enemy Of My Enemy, and The Only Easy Day...Was Yesterday. The EGLM grenade launcher computer system is not usable, although the M203 is. In singleplayer, it has two different types of Red Dot Sights. One version of the weapon, the F2000 Scoped, uses a Red Dot Sight whose appearance is based on the standard F2000 telescopic sight. The second, the F2000 Red Dot Sight, uses the Red Dot Sight seen on most of the other weapons. The version seen in game seems to be based on the F2000 Tactical, with MIL-STD Picatinny Rails on the top replacing the EGLM.

Multiplayer
In multiplayer, it is unlocked at Level 60 (Major General II). Its high vertical recoil makes it difficult to kill targets at medium and long range. Firing in bursts is essential at range. It is one of the more unused weapons due to its high unlock level and recoil, generally only showing up with those who have recently unlocked it. While the F2000 has the highest rate of fire of all of the assault rifles, it is outclassed in just about every conceivable way by the TAR-21, which has the same magazine capacity, much less recoil, a higher damage output per second due to its high damage per bullet, and a lower rate of fire which makes its magazine last longer. Its inaccuracy can make it difficult to get headshots intentionally, though the vertical recoil will usually yield accidental headshots if aiming for the chest or neck. Due to its rate of fire, the F2000 burns through magazines and ammunition reserves rather quickly, and it also has a fairly slow reload time. Its high rate of fire, however, means that the F2000 can be extremely efficient firing from the hip or aiming at close range targets, as with other high-fire-rate weapons. Paired with steady aim, the F2000 becomes a deadly hipfire weapon.

If the player does want to use sight different than those of the iron sights, a good one to use over the RDS is the Holographic Sight, as the glass plane is larger, the frames are thinner and the zoom is greater and the dot doesn't sway, making it a far superior sight. The ACOG shouldn't be used as it increases the already high recoil even more, making it almost impossible to use automatically.

Trivia

 * The F2000's unique Red Dot Sight is generally disliked by players, as it is large and obstructive, and also is very difficult to aim with, due to blurring round the edges of the inside of the scope.
 * In real life, the standard F2000 scope is not an unmagnified red dot, but rather a magnified optic with a power of 1.6x.
 * The Veteran II Challenge for the F2000 is different from every other Veteran II, due to not only the gun name changing but adding the manufacturer's name to the emblem (instead of just F2000 it is FN 2000).
 * The F2000 mounts its own grenade launcher module, the GL1 EGLM in real life. It does not mount the M203, instead using the proprietary GL1 grenade launcher module developed especially for the F2000.
 * The FN company used the P90 as a base for the F2000.
 * When the enemy team in multiplayer activates an EMP, the F2000's Red Dot Sight will still work.
 * The serial number on the F2000 is 025960.
 * The Red Dot Sight on the F2000 is mistaken by some people as the Mars Sight on the TAR-21. They are two completely different sights; the F2000's in-game Red Dot Sight is actually based upon its real-life counterparts telescopic scope.
 * The F2000 is one of the only guns that gets fully covered by camouflage.
 * No Russian is the only time in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 where the F2000 can be seen with a regular red dot sight instead of its unique one.
 * When sprinting, the player can read the word 'Herstal' written on the rear iron sight. This is a reference to the company who manufactures the weapon, FN Herstal.
 * The F2000, along with the M4A1, and M16A4 are the only guns that allow its user to see the heartbeat sensor when they have switched to the masterkey.
 * The F2000's pick-up icon shows a "Scope Cover" attached even without a scope or RDS.
 * This is the only Assault Rifle to have a visible Tactical Rail on the side rather than the hand guard; this is easily seen in the Create-A-Class picture.
