User blog comment:Didikins/My favorite weapons of MW3/@comment-1263839-20151213005719

The G18 will always be my favourite Modern Warfare 3 weapon. It's the only weapon (sans niche weapons) that actually requires some thought to use because of its harsh but manageable recoil.

MW3 is a marvel of incredibly messy design and bewildering choices when it comes to well... everything about the multiplayer, so having a weapon that actually seemed like it could be in a less ridiculous CoD actually gave me much joy. See also: The M4A1 which I think is possibly the best of its kind of AR (better handled than the M27, ICR-1 etc. from other games).

For the record the bewildering choices are what makes me love Modern Warfare 3. Power fantasies are nice, but the catharsis from these peculiarly well done weapons is a well that always replenishes.
