Previously, this phrase was widely used in the media in any unclear situation. You can consider this one big Russian meme now.
This is russian meme too.
So, like, you want the MGs to be just another oversized SMG or something (like they are in BF mostly) ?
I just don’t understand in what way are they exactly underwhelming? Yeah, you cannot sprint bhop hipfire things with a 12 kg or heavier log of steel. Are bolt actions also underwhelming because you cannot air out a whole capzone packed full of enemies like with an SMG?
They’re just specialist tools for more specific purpose
I think He means BF V more specifically. I really enjoyed them MGS in BF V also. With MMGs you had to bipod for ironsights, and stop moving to brace (no iron sights) to hipfire.
It forced a very different playstyle. You couldnt afford to be reactionary, you had to be proactive.
So runnning and gunning is no good, You get caught in between moving/positioning you are in trouble, But if you are in position/braced, you absolutely hose people.
I really enjoyed BF V too
That being said… I dont mind the Mgs in enlisted. When you have them on the bipod they do wreck, getting them on the bipod is the trick though as they are janky as fuck.
- bipod benefits should be automatic when prone.
- Mounting height and freedom of movemens (arc) needs serious work, half the time your barrel is mounted “inside” the object you are trying to mount “ontop” of. Or it decides you cant swing left, or up or down.
Enlisted is too fast paced for a Bipod system that takes 2 or 3 goes to get it mounted right, If It doesnt work smoothly and fast, you are more likely just to run and gun out of necessity
I kinda stopped after BF3 tbh
I’ve played 4 for a little bit after it was on sale for like 5 bucks but the spawn squad mechanic was just complete nonsense to me. Just watched some BF4 gameplay before last post and those MGs kinda hurt my soul
I mean…they do wreck even without the bipod:
That guy ended up with 37 kills lol
But yea, the bipod is a bit janky…fixing it is not an easy problem though. It’s hard for the system to know what exactly you want to latch onto and you also don’t want people to be able to somehow bipod onto any silly tiny little thing they see
I mean, you get increased accuracy just from going prone, bipod ideally trades inability to quickly switch direction for becoming a laser pointer
it’s just that this is a massive problem that has to be fixed
I guess I just use MG’s differently - I hardly used them at all until I remembered I can paradrop a squad into enemies face and not have to deal with running at snails pace lol
yeah they can/do. I didnt mean they werent still good. Just my opinion is the power slider should be more towards favouring bipod than run and gun/free standing. Right now they have to be usable free standing cos “bad bipod”
I do most of my work on the mgs run and gun too lol…cos bipod janky (been runing mg 13 drum (this one sprays without bipod, but compensates with mag), mg45 and MG 39 squad this week…dont need bipod lol)
Into the naughty corner you go.
Although…cant blame you - MG13 with drum can be hilarious, some guy had it in my low tier game…but I was flanking, shot him in the back and just deleted everyone on the cap zone after picking up his gun
it can be pretty naughty…buuuuut theres no shortage of that in the premium/event/BP section
They are this already?
Specific job they suck at.
Ok, maybe not suck but they aren’t amazing and are super easy to counter. Enlisted is a game about being mobile, you don’t move, you die.
Actually you can, 99% of eblisted player use them exactly like that. I saw maybe 10 guys who used bipods in 4y I play (4 of them were in the last 6 months).
And this bothers me because that’s not how MGs are supposed to be used. Myrm1don showed you BF5 and imo that’s the way to go.
Maybe I’m too radical with this, I don’t think I am.
Just by looking at the ticket bars, the enemy team was filled with bots.
Eh, at least in my experience you can’t really use them like that outside of the german broken OP ones
But hey, I’m all for the MG’s being less “comically large SMGs”
It’s just I’m guessing people would complain even more in that case
What?
American MGs actually benefit the most here because they have less movement penalty.
In my experience almost everybody uses them this way. German MGs may be better for this due to higher rof but it’s not exclusive to them.
ok you are the cat’s slave? do what your masta wants
