The M16A4 is one of the deadliest rifles if you hit your bursts. Altered Gamer rates its accuracy and damage very highly, and Insider Gaming calls it almost unfairly strong with Stopping Power. The verdict for Modern Warfare 2 (2009) multiplayer is to use it with both of those pieces in place.
Best M16A4 loadout
Insider Gaming (12 November 2023) is the only source for this pairing, and it calls the sight close to mandatory.
| Slot | Pick | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Attachment | Holographic Sight | Tightens the rifle's recoil, according to Insider Gaming |
| Perk | Stopping Power | About 40% more bullet damage |
Why this build works
Insider Gaming's case rests on two points: the sight deals with recoil and the perk pushes damage over the edge. It describes a medium rate of fire, so each burst has to count. Altered Gamer adds that the pause between bursts is shorter than the FAMAS's, so of the two burst rifles this is the quicker to follow up.
How to play it
Fire in deliberate bursts and keep your crosshair on target through the pause. Altered Gamer warns that you are a potential target during that gap. If you prefer holding the trigger, the rifle will not suit you, since burst weapons reward accuracy over volume.
Unlock notes
Altered Gamer gives level 40. The Steam guide (11 June 2018) says the Holographic Sight takes 60 kills looking through the Red Dot Sight, and the Red Dot Sight itself takes 25 kills.
