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.

intrestedviewer · 11-06-2002, 09:03 PM

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?

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?

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

11-07-2002, 12:05 PM

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!

geRV · 11-07-2002, 12:20 PM

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.
