"oh let me lay a trap so I can then go and camp in a corner and face the wall, and then 5 minutes later I'll get a line of text of my screen with a players name on it meaning I have won!" Great gameplay! /s
While devs keep putting in these absolutely mindbogglingly stupid mechanics in first person shooters they will have always have players leaving the game in droves. Which is exactly what has happened. The only way to make these mechanics work is to make them useless, which is exactly why they shouldn't even be in the game in the first place. There's a reason why all the best BF3 servers all had claymores banned.
But the biggest problem with the game is the campy, prone MMG and bi-pod meta, like they are trying to market a milsim game to Battlefield fans. It's boring beyond belief and just dumb nonsense for idiots. Like who the hell at DICE said "yeah, you know that really cancerous playstyle of laying still or camping in a window? Let's really go to town with mechanics and maps designed specifically for that to be the most effective meta! That will please the playerbase!
Still I have no hope for this dev team, they literally have no idea what they are doing and are just trying to learn on the hop, all the design talent at DICE has gradually left over the last 5 years and it's just a completely different dev team in all but name.
Well said. Thanks for having the patience to write what i didnt.
A bullet between the eyes from an MG 42 kills you just as fast as a bullet between the eyes from a scoped rifle.
So whats the Real life advantage of the LMG then ? For one if you step out into a hail of LMG fire your likely to die quickly, doesn't much matter that your a better shot if you've only got one and he's already firing on your position.
Well, one of the ways the game twists reality in favor of fun is in requiring more hits to kill a player, this goes also with move speed. But does that now mean that I can step out into a hail of LMG fire, and if I'm a good shot I can, while having several bullets penetrate my body, take careful aim and deliver a head shot? Unfortunately it does, and that's where suppression comes in (all but removed from Battlefield now). A necessary abstraction so that the LMG's advantages aren't rendered to not by the invention of TTK.
So what's your solution for bipoded MMGs? Don't give them a means to establish control over a lane, just give them a drum mag and a for grip? Just another kind of SMG for high kill streaks in Metro? Might as well just remove them from the game COD boy, and remove the WWII Skins while your at it, just give everyone the same loadout, one Fish boal map and we'll play Battlefield Superhot without the slow motion.
Works both ways.....
You can grenade the most common AP spots, door ways, resupply points corners, stairways...
They work well. Being prone is no advantage most of the time, easy to snipe them or flank them.
It makes sense, as MMGs are supposed to by crew weapons.. but I get it, if it kills me it needs nerfing.
So the most things that need nerfing are assault rifles, need damage reduction, and hip firing needs to be WAY more inaccurate. ADS should always beat some hipfiring run and gun no brain mook ... so tired of aiming properly but losing to lame CoD style headless chickens.
I'm good at twitch shooting and I like to run 'n gun, so I don't like Claymores or snipers or tanks or attack choppers or anything that hinders me in my microscopically tiny chosen style of play.
That couldn't be funnier. Of course as a supporter of rented servers I think anyone who wants to set up a server which caters to the wannabe "competitive" crowd they should be able to do so. But it does remind me of a server where the home clan liked to ride tanks, so they banned C4, AT mines, Javelins, and would kick an attack chopper pilot who killed them too many times. Banning weapons you disapprove of is nothing more than stat-padding. It doesn't make the game better, it just help the server operators get better scores. But like I said, if you want to do a "competitive" server specifically tailored to how you like to play, and those self-serving rules are clearly on display for anyone considering joining and the server stays populated, then I say go for it. Of course it's that sort of boosting nonsense which some folks say justified EA in getting rid of rented servers. Meanwhile, I've been squelching around on ground soggy from the tears of players crying about prone bipod campers for at least ten years, absolutely nothing has changed about that, so I hope DICE knows better than to pay to much attention to this whiny noise.
The ONLY 'issue' with AP Mines I have is why Medic?
Just doesn't fit for me......
