The m4a1 was not busted in the beta. It was one of a extremely small pool of weapons it was common and a lot of people were using it. your perception is extremely skewed so was everyone elses. the sxg smg was much stronger but it wasnt popular so you didnt see it as much to know that it was. the m433 was much stronger than the m4a1 and still is with attachments but again people werent using it. You watch too much stream clips if you really played and tested the weapons yourself youd know it wasnt broken it was just a good gun. the M4a1 is an icnoic weapon and is popular just by name alone if its available people will use it just because they like the gun itself. now we have the whole roster of weapons and there are some guns that are downright monsters compared to the claims of the m4a1 from beta or otherwise.
I have 100h is the game since beta. I don't watch others play the game. Yes the M4 was used a lot, why? Is it cool or good? Was shotgun used a lot cause it was cool or good? IMO i think it was too good in the beta, along with the AK and MP7. That is my opinion and its fine if you don't agree.
