Something you don't get on CoD, but it's pretty obvious what's the top weapons on MW2 (ACR, SCAR, UMP and M200) The reason for the XM8 being the most used (IMO) is because it's available at an early time (second assault rifle) and it's stats are on par with the M416, yet it has better iron sights and as a result people can use the ammo specialisation instead of a 4x or Red Dot specialisation.
