I’m a big fan of rush classes, sometimes to the detriment of my kill death ratio. The P90 has always been one of my favorite Call of Duty weapons and the akimbo machine pistols are just plain overpowered as a secondary weapon in MW3.  Modern Warfare 3 has a lot of pretty tight (tight as in close range) maps which is typical of the franchise. That being said rush classes are widely used and play style can certainly contribute to how successful you are with them. Without turning this into an article about ho to play a rush class the bottom line is this. Sticking to close quarters environments (like inside buildings) and staying out of open spaces is obviously key. Popping around corners and where you can take advantage of your fire rate and quick, moement speed, and aim speed is key. Surprise them when they are trying to get somewhere and use the supremacy (over the shotguns) when you get an opportunity. I’ll be the first to admit that it’s hard to stick to the terrain you are suited for and I often find myself stopping in the open to shoot or running out into the open chasing a kill. This will usually get you owned.

So onto the kit. The P90 with akimbo scorpions is my personal favorite as of late. You can switch out scorpions obviously but I love the range and fire rate combo of the weapons. The P90 gives you the ability to pump some high volume lead into the opponent and a half decent range. Akimbo machine pistols are just plain hot and I often roll with them in place of my primary depending on the environment. In tight rooms and hallways, especially when I am moving somewhere to get into position, I often roll the akimbo scorps because you can fire from the hip so quickly, the rate of fire is incredible, and you can haul ass to get to where you are going.  I rock the P90 usually scoped in moving through long hallways or when I am forced into the open. It’s my favorite mid range rush weapon in the game.

Here’s the specs I use and if you have any thoughts additions please leave a comment. I switch out the perk 2 depending on my mood and the same goes for my strike packages.
