When I saw "LOADS" I thought there was another rant behind this link.
Anywho, the reason you see so many people running around with the machine gun now is there is no point in using any other weapon since most servers are running some sort "realism" server which makes the machine gun the ONLY weapon worth having. You can pick just about anyone off with it, and it has long range and short range ability. So, why run around with a rifle when you can use the Machine Gun. I mean I'm sure it FEELS good to challenge yourself, but fuck that - I go on a server to fucking win not improve my character.
I use the M1 all the time on realism and I usually end up in the top 3-4. Look at sparks...he uses the unscoped mauser exclusively and is absolutely dominant!
But, I'm not like you, ED...I don't play to "win", per se. I just wanna have some fun and chat with some of the regs.
From what I saw in a spearhead screenshot, the MG-42 is like a fucking chair or something, it's on a huge stand...It's not the type of portable bipod you'd see in Day of Defeat or something
i see an "owned" picture in the works of some newbie trying to use a portable mg-42 and getting shot by 3 or 4 snipers
yeah, i like the idea of having portable machine guns, since they were the base of tactics for the allies and axis, but seriousy, someone who tries to use that is going to get the **** shot out of him before he is even ready to fire. hake:
