Haven't you noticed that there are certain guns in practically every reality (not halo) FPS game. Such as the M16, AK47, M60, RPG-7, and UZI. Yes I know these are important guns in firearms history, but, then again give some of the others a chance. Like in BFBC2 they introduced the XM8, a gun practically never used in video games. So keep it fresh and post some real gun ideas and the game they would be in.

jeol, you have to pick the AK-47 off the enemy in most games because you are usually the U.S. something, weather it be task force, marines, or whatever, which the AK-47 is not used by the U.S. military. These games still have a tiny bit of history...

i dont want to troll but one main reason that these guns are "overused" is because there really isnt a great selection of guns in our world. those weapons are popular and very easy to use. also games that use stuff like the ak, and the m16 are there because there diverse. they show major differences in behavior. yes there are alot of weapons out there but everyone know that for accuracy you choose the m16 and for damage you choose the ak47. plus alot of weapons behave just like others or are literally just a different for of one. so to keep things the way gamers are used to they use real guns with expected results.

Every game has got to have a AK because it is so popular. I agree battlefiield took a huge step in using the XM8 assault, XM8c and XM8 LMG. They also use more origional snipers including a automatic one.
Winner of originality is BFBC2 i think.

i would like to see the AR-15 in some Korean or Vietnam war game.

it was the predecessor to the m-16, and was a favorite of troops.


The AR-15 is the civilian version of the M16/M4.

Well that's like saying the assault rifle is overused in every game.
Name an actual gun like ks-23 that is standard in a lot of video games and happens to be a shotgun.
