well now that you mention the Thompson,it also had a 50 rd drum magazine,as featured in many Gangster movies,however these were rarely used,if all by the US forces because of their complex loading and size.And what ever happened to the carbine?? you know the one that was magazine fed.This gun was used by the US military all the way thru korea and into Vietnam,when it was replaced by the M16.That would have been a welcome addition,as this gun was a real treat to shoot,low recoil,light weight,and FAST Reloading.DoD has this weapon,I have seen Screenshots with it.....NO I do not play DoD MOH is enough for me.....

the thompson is only 20 round in the clip
the bazooka is missing a whole other step in in reloading, a wire is attached to the rocket, and you attach the rocket to some thingy at the end of the bazzoka,germans didn't have a shotgun and the allied shotgun was rarely used in the western front, usually the pacific,the mp44, or stg44 was never used until late 1944, and the scoped mauser loads bullets individually and the normal version loads it in as a clip.
how i got these facts?
my dad is a military historian.
i also think that the explosions should look bigger and more ferotious.
any questions or rants email me

I love the M1-Carbine ! Because Paratroopers used it. IT was very light. But the thing that sucks, it that it had the stoping power of a .22....... Now for thoes of you who dont have any idea what a 22 is, well lets say I shoot you with a 22, and guess what.. If you were strong, you would stay up, and draw your gun and shoot me, and kill me. If you were weak, you may get knocked down a bit, but get up and shoot me, and kill me. The point of the matter is that no matter how big or small u are, you can always shoot me and kill me after I shoot you with a 22.

Both the mausers reload correctly. Gren explosions maybe a tad bigger, but they dont make a huge explosion. I found the shotgun an odd addition as well.

The M1 Thompson DID GET a thirty round magazine, the scoped mauser loads one round at a time because in order to get the whole stripper clip in, you'd have to disassemble the scope so there wasn't any obstruction, the shotgun did see a good amount of use in the Western Front, seeing as it's good for close quarters combat, it could be used in house fighting. How did I get these facts? I know how to read books. And the explosions are fine, some of the best, most realistic explosions ever to grace a game. And "ferotious" is spelled f-e-r-o-c-i-o-u-s, ferocious.

I LOVE IT !

Yeah so anyway, the thompson did have a 30round clip, altho, if you were cheap you could get a 20 round clip, that came with it. But since you wanna stay alive, the people who would buy the thompson, would use a 30 round. As for everything else, Kraut killa said it all

Stylin Trix · 12-21-2001, 12:37 AM

Bullshit. Absolutely crap. The M14 and also the M21 which was the scoped, H-Bar version used by snipers was the replacement of the M1 Carbine. THEN the US Military switched over to the M16A1 or otherwise known as the Armalite.

By the way, DoD IS a great game, maybe you should play it. And if the M1 Carbine isnt in this game, then someone will make one or it will be added in future updates...I hope.

One other point, the Drum magazine for the Thompson was used a great deal in the Pacific Theatre.

Yeah great observations there

but for the sake of gameplay the tying of the wires to the batteries that actually fires the rocket was left out in my opinion because the reload time would have been disastrously long and the animation involved would have been bleeding hard to do. Who cares if you dont see the wires being tied, big whoop.

Germans didnt have a shotgun, so what, really who cares. This is this Multiplayer side of the game we are talking about. If the Germans had no shotgun, what are they gonna have to match it ?? Simply let them have it too. Personally I hate it, but ohwell. The shotgun was used in the ETO and also the PTO.

Who's to say that the Multiplayer part of this game is not after 1944 ?? The actual single player game has a mission where you have to destroy a large number of StG44's in *gasp* 1944, I think the developers did their research buddy.

We all know how the the KAR 98k loads, what are you trying to prove ? And am I right in assuming the game DOES actually load the bullets individually when you have the scoped version ??

Explosions look fine to me, too much Hollywood for you maybe ??

How do I know this stuff ?? I work at a Military Museum

LOL. Just had to add that.

Just remember, this IS a GAME. Not a history lesson.

Once again Ballwook has made some very good points.

FN2K · 12-21-2001, 02:31 AM

Grenades dont do their damage from explosions the damage is from the hundreds of peices of flying metal that rip through your body. So the explosion is merley just what the grenades use to deploy the shrapnel so it doesnt need to be a huge explosion I think its accurate as it is.

How do I know this? I am a United States Marine
