Apparently the PC demo of CoD4 contained a little more than meets the eye. The CoD4 forums reports that a complete list of weapons, for single- and multi-player were included in the demo code.
The weapons list clocks in at 40+ multiplayer weapons and close to 100 single player weapons.
I'm glad it's a big list, but until I have it in my hands in game and I am able shoot people with it to see if I like it this doesn't mean much to me. Also, stop mentioning the game damn it, it makes the pain worse!
2) How will they be varied enough to make a difference?
I'm sure some will simply be a cosmetic difference. Just from the Beta though, the weapons all had their little perks and you would find people disagreeing on which was best. Like the M16 and M4 carbine. Some people like the full auto of the M4. While I prefer the 3 round burst of the M16.
I have faith that they will give us something worth playing.

I guess you don't...just like Rainbow Six series, they offer tons of weapon but you can see 80% of the regular players are using the most popular weapon only.
How many of those are actual usable weapons though?
They might make an appearance in the game, but do we know which ones you can actually use?
I assume all the multiplayer ones will be usable, but not so sure about the single player ones.
Either way, I don't care. The number of weapons has nothing to do with how good the game will be, for me.
Like some one said, every one will just end up using the most popular/powerful ones anyway... especially since so many are alike.
I prefer my AK-47, silenced, with Blue Tiger camo. It's like fine wine in a plastic cup.

I'm wondering how the AC-130 will be in multiplayer since they announced no vehicals and the 7 kill streak perk is the Helicopert support. Is there going to be another kill streak perk on top of the helo that will rain down flying howitzer death from a Spooky gunship or is the 5 kill bombardment perk going to be switched out from time to time with death from the big gun?
My guess is that it's used in the single player game for a specific mission. Since you probably call it in, it's technically a weapon.
