The M4 Assault Rifle is quite flexible regarding what players can use for its class-related loadout in Modern Warfare 2. For example, the Shock Stick is always a fantastic CC choice for the Tactical slot, and Semtex or Thermal could be placed in Lethal.

For instance, those playing alone can use the Tactical Camera for extra visibility or the Dead Silence for stealth, while players in groups might prefer different Field Upgrades.
