Too bad its only 20/40 for ammunition compared to 30/90, and has almost the exact same damage and spread pattern. Same thing with the USP. The m4a1 also uses the exact same animation as the m4a4 and the sounds for both weapons are pretty much the same from source. Really would've had them be left out if this is what we get. Unsupressing either weapons is also a huge waste of time as it provides no positive benefits.

I agree. I was very disappointed. I switched back to the M4A4, but i kept the USP-S. I find it alot easier to get headshots than the p2000. I hate the p2000 so much

I would keep the M4-S until the recoil and accuracy are nerfed. The implications of using the M4-S as a better substitute for the scout are huge, especially for mid-range maps like Dust 2 and Mirage. If you use it like an assault rifle, you will be at a disadvantage.

The recoil and accuracy are equivalent to the m4a4.
