I love using the Flatline, but damn do I have an inconsistent time with it. One game I go on a massive killing spree and destroy everything in my way, the next has me shooting cardboard cutouts of pilots and I end up at the bottom of the score board...
To me the Flatline is like the rifle version of the Alternator. Both guns do a lot damage, slow ROF, and bad recoil when you ADS. Difference is that you're not suppose to run around hip firing with the Flatline since it's not that good at that(although it's adequate). At longer ranges I find it hard to beat other guys, even if if they're using a SMG. Even if I have the more powerful gun my reticule is bouncing all over the place. Tap firing might fix this problem but I never try that since I just want to hold the fire button down.
I still use it a lot but when it comes to just assault rifles I would choose the 201 over it. It does less damage but I'll take the more accurate weapon.
