Best Modern Warfare 2 M4 attachments

After spending some time testing various attachment combinations, we've settled on this particular build. Check out the full attachment list below:

• Barrel: Tempus Hightower 20"
• Optic: Cronen Mini Red Dot
• Stock: Demo D50 Buffer Tube
• Underbarrel: FSS Sharkfin 90
• Rear Grip: XTEN Grip

Although this combination of attachments does impact the ability to control the M4's recoil, it does provide improvements in overall damage output, range, and accuracy. The Hightower barrel increases bullet velocity which has a huge impact in mid-range and long-distance duels.

For a boost in mobility, selecting the Demo D50 Buffer Tube attachment gives you a fighting chance against any fast-moving submachine gunners hurtling around the map.
