I guess we need to realize that these games are programmed by a bunch of geeks sitting in cubicles, and probably get their info on the weapons by running a google search or something.  I dunno though... would it kill them to hire a consultant to make the weapons realistic, like Hollywood does when they make war movies?I do like how they did the M-14 justice, and it is playable as a battle rifle with iron sights, like it was meant to be, instead of just a scoped sniper rifle with a 10 round mag like it is on the MW games.  And they seem to have gotten the damage and knockdown a little more realistic... in other games, sometimes they make the poodle shooters as powerful or more powerful than the .30 cals.  The FAL and the M-14 will actually drop somebody with one shot to center mass in this game, as they should.I played one game of zombies first thing when I got the game, and it seems cool enough.  It will at least be good for some new maps and different weapons to play around with.  Supposedly you can play zombies with 4 player split screen, which is nice.I guess I'll see what the split screen is like this weekend, when I have some buddies over to play it.</blockquote>
