I love the Machine Gun!

[Raziaar]

Hehe... Well I actually never played DoD before... this is my first time sitting down and actually playing it.

I must say, its rather fun. Once I got past my rustiness, from not playing any FPS for the better part of 2 years, it all went great.

My favorite weapon by far has to be the machine gun... It takes effort finding a good position, but once you have it, laying down that suppressing fire feels awesome... none of the other guns feel nice in my hands anymore.

However... I have developed a deep attachment to enemy grenades. Wherever I am... they seem to fly through the air and stick to me.

But seriously, I'm liking the mod alot. Only map i've played has been avalanche. Here's my score after a couple hours of playing. Not the best... but i'm learning again.

Fun.

It's okay. I play it from time to time.

Yeah, the MG can be pretty fun though I usually don't care for it and they're easy to kill.

Shoot/drop a nade to the ground, pick it up, hold for a few seconds, do a quick sprint/peek around a corner, or bounce it around said corner and bam, they're gone.

I love being a rifleman on Axis. You're just unstoppable if you can aim well/take cover and I'm talking vs. ANY class.

I was usually successful in killing at least 10 people before being nailed myself... most of them within 30 seconds of each other.

That's quite a bit compared to most classes

Add that in with moving after every couple of kills, to keep the enemy guessing, and you have quite an effective killing machine.


It would be far, FAR more effective if the enviroments were more open though... DoD is pretty much a tunnel, close quarters game style.

An open environment would actually make it a lot less effective. What could be better for a machine gunner than the enemy being wedged through small spaces?

Anyways... did you get to use the MG42 on axis? That thing is a hot metal orgasm.

Well I meant open enviroments because there's less of a chance for the soldiers to lob normal grenades at you, or get you with SMG fire.

But the MG42... its my favorite. I love the way it sounds, and I love that it has a scattered cone of fire. means I have to move my mouse around less.

I've even used the MG42 as allies... I stole it off corpses and just dominated the field with it.

But, that was back when I made this thread, I don't play it anymore. :-(
