When you're using a precision weapon and get shot at by a M60 from afar, then you've been spotted anyways, so either you did a God awful job of being stealthy and the M60 guy saw you, or someone else spotted you; either way, you're screwed because you probably were spotted, and the little red triangle will haunt you for quite a while if you don't just outright die.

If you get suppressed, you should at least make an effort to RUN FOR COVER and FLANK THE M60, the latter if you were smart enough to quickly spot the MG back before running for the hills.

In a true CQC firefight you should be prone diving like Neo in the Matrix. If the M60 kills you then that's YOUR fault, because the M60's low RoF gives you a chance to take cover and shoot them to shreds. And don't give a whiny excuse that "I can't kill him because I have a Sniper Rifle!" Take the Glock 18 as a sidearm, or if all else fails quick scope them, which doesn't take too much effort if you actually HAVE a scope.

If you're using the M60 offensively, you are a pure idiot. The MG36 is a better weapon for offensive runs, and the M60's purpose is to give attackers grief when trying to take something like the crane (I.e. sit on the roof or in the crate and shred anyone coming to the ladder).

Reloads are also simple if you reload after every kill you get, no matter how much you deplete your ammo. If you get attacked before your reload is finished, click once to reload cancel, then hold down the LMB because the situation probably is one of those "OH F*CK!" moments.

The gist is simple. Use the M60 correctly by spotting and laying suppressive fire down and you'll be rewarded with "Spot Assist"s and hopefully "Kill Assist"s.

EDIT (11/26/15): TL;DR- On offense, use the M60 as an Anti-Infantry MG to hold a position down. On defense, flank the M60 or toss a 'nade in if there's only one way to get to the MG.
