Best run and gun class in MW2

Overwhelm your opponents with blinding speed.

Barging headfirst into enemy strongholds might not be the best idea in combat, but it works surprisingly well in Modern Warfare 2's hectic multiplayer matches.

However, speed is key to excelling in this gameplay style. This guide will cover the best run and gun class, attachments, and loadout in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
