The ultra crap looking mg-42 which looks as bad as those machineguns found in frontline. I actually thought this was suposed to be a browning 30 cal untill fram pointed out the mg text in bottom right. Note it says portable. Also note theres no ammo belt so its obviously got one with a cloaking device. [img]http://homepage.ntlworld.com/gerald.marley/Smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

A tank or half track mounted machinegun.

You now appear to have a partial zoom mode with all weapons like in frontline.

The soviet moisin nagant rifle
You also have access to the british made (piece of shit) sten gun and smoke grenades. As well as certain static gun emplacements being useable such as ack ack's as well as smoke nades and sticky bombs. eek:
Overall i dunno if this expansion will be worth the money, theyve been working on it since around early february and still theres a lot lacking. Theres no mobile browning 30 cal so that means allies have the mg-42 as well. The actual model looks like a pile of crap. It literally looks as though it was ripped out of spearhead and touched up slightly. The original mohaa mg-42 looked good aside from the crap skin so why didn't they re-use it?
The model looks ok in this pic but when you're in the firing view its like a completly different model.

Theres only 9 new missions, this game seems to center on the airborne drop at the start of it the same way mohaa centered on the omaha level.
From what ive seen the mobile mg-42 will have a tripod, meaning someone has to lug it about the map and plonk it down to be able to fire it. Realisitc in a sense but if this is the case and you can't fire when moving i don't see too many people using it. Anotehr problem is when you have it set up somewher you're basically sniper fodder as you will obviously have to stay still to fire it. Only real good thing i can say is at least it has an ammo gauge meaning no unlimited rounds and it obviously has a reload animation.
Theyve been at this since around february and STILL theres no prone position included in it. Afaik thers no scope sway either and none of the original weapons skins have been touched up.
The mp-40 still looks as bad as ever (skin not model, although the model could be a bit bigger) and the garand from what ive seen still has that annoying texture glitch to the left of the receiver. Hell i bet even the kar 98k still has that magical bullet breech when you reload a new stripper clip it sinks into the metal.

If the game issues of mg's ruleing all are sorted out and a lot of the exploits are fixed then it may be worth the money. I was in a server last night and the fucking morons were actually helping each other use that map exploit on lost vilage even though they were on opposite teams.
Roll on the next medal of honor game, if ea isn;t to tight maybe it could use the doom 3 engine and look a shitload better, we may even get proper movement from the character models instead of the slip and slide approach thats in the quake 3 engine.
Oh yeah before i forget, has anyone the slightest clue what in the fuck this is supposed to be? Looks like the old mg model but its been screwed about with.
