Even more spearhead info
 

Thanks to Matthew Pruitt from planetmedalofhonor.com for answering these.


(Q) Could you tell me if any of the existing skins have been touched up in anyway?

(A) From what I have in the build, nothing has been touched up.

(Q) What way does the mg-42 work? I assume you walk around with it then plonk it down and from then on it acts as a turret mg like in the original aa untill you undeploy and move elsewhere? Any lag associated with it?

(A) Yes, the MG42 works like you described it. I didn't experience any lag, however.

(Q) Does the mg-42 have any type of reload animation or ammo belt? How long does it take to deploy it?

(A) Yes, it does have a reload animation. Everything's visible. About 3 - 4 seconds to set it up.

(Q) Are smoke grenades used in multiplayer? What way does the weapons selection system work?

(A) Yes, smoke can be used in multiplayer. You choose whether you want to use British, Russian, or US guns depending on what skin you pick, if it's a British skin, you get British guns, etc.

This sounds good, it better not ba a dissapointment

hah thats cool

the only thing that was touched up was map size and lighting. If u remember mohaa it had bad lighting. The lights on the wall would shine a square area. maybe they mean that they fixed that?

oOOoO! I have an erection...!

I haven't heard anything about going prone... have they said yay/nay to this feature?

Word
 

Sounds awesome, I can't wait.

Damn this game comes out on the 18th of Nov and I will be out in the field until the 22nd. Damn military always ruining my fun.

D00d, you bring up a good point. The MG-42 has a bi-pod about 6 inches high. I dont think it can be fired from the kneeling position. Does this mean that we will be able to lay in the prone now?

Theres still no prone position.

So, how the hell do you shoot the MG-42???

dunno.. it looks like it's got a seat..

An MG-42 with a portable seat?! OH dear god this expansions going to suck .. . .

a seat? my god...that's fucking pathetic! they couldn't just rip some prone code out of one of their other games? and i thought the static mg-42s were sniper bait!

OMG u ww2 noobs evil:

The mg-42 is set upon a laffette mount which is basically a tall tripod. You run about the map with it but you cna't fire untill you deploy it, you basically just stand behind it and use it as you would the mg-42 on stalingrad.

run around with that? i can see the animations now...

I saw that one of the soldier models had non-stadard issue socks on. The game is just ruined! Ruined I tell you!

Well obviously it'll be placed over your shoulder or something. I can't see you being able to move too fast with it either.

Thanks for the info Gerard
Here is a picture of a mg42 tripod. This was the one I was going to purchase when I was going to order a semi-Auto MG-42
You should be able to crouch behind it.

Thats more or less it but the one in the game was much taller. It could be used as an anti aircraft machine gun on the taller mount.

Can't see much point in a semi auto mg-42 myself, that gun NEEDS to be fired full auto biggrin:

thank you for so arrogantly correcting me Gerard.


anyway here's a photo of the "bidpod" that was used to make the mg a light AA gun

and while you're in "know it all" mode, maybe you already know that it would be illegal to own a full auto machine gun, and it would only be legal if it was a semi auto.

The legs on that are exspandable, so you can make it taller.

You can own a full auto class 3 here in the USA ( requires a permit ). Unfortunialy my state only permits a semi auto.

For those interested, here is the link for the site selling the semi auto. I have tried to contact them but have not recieved anything back yet.

Check out the video of it being fired

anyone inteterested in a used H&K SP89? I need to find the funding for my new toy biggrin:

i couldn't imagine mgs being as accurate as sniper rifles or being able to reload rockets in 4 seconds before i played mohaa

i think i've heard about converting semi-auto AR-15s into full auto before, perhaps the same could be done with a *cough* MG-42 *cough* then you just add a foxhole to your front yard, load a belt of blanks and wait for the paperboy to put one under the car biggrin:

Well "oddball" eek: in case you didn't know you can get special licenses for full automatic guns in america. I don't even live there and i know this.

And where exactly did i say i was correcting YOU in paticular.

eek:

eeww, i wouldn't bother getting it at all. That gun firing semi auto just doesn't look right. Can you not apply for the full auto licence? There was a video on the net of an mg firing full auto and its a sight to behold, empty casing are littered under the receiver and its just a constand buzz sound.

from what i've heard (although it may be different in more conservative states) you get a license which is expensive, then the guns of course are extremely expensive and take like a year for you to actually get them

You could not convert the MG42 to full auto. Part of them being able to manufacture this firearm is so it can not be converted. Just like the semi auto BAR

I can not get a permit. because my state does not allow it. I'm in a semi auto state only and my wife wont move, LOL

You pay a class3 tax ( one time ) and what ever it costs to transfer the paper work over.

this semi auto is about $4000.00 a full auto is over $18,000.00 if you could find one.

I'm just getting ready for when my daughters start dating. biggrin:

I'd like to see you if a burglar broke in and the first gun you grabbed was a full auto MG-42.

BRRRRAP
