13:30 It was a balancing choice to give the medic the LMG. So the medic does not carry the ammo bag, that can refill ammunition. This limits the assault guy to assult rifles, and the they need to work together, the medic can heal/revive, and the assult guy can dump ammmo on him.

[@LipColt]

Kali's CSRX is a hot mess. The launcher seems to be based on Ying's shotgun, the Crye Precision/Vantage Arms SIX-12, on its under barrel configuration, because of the shape of the trigger guard. But everything else is made of lots and lots of influences from other weapons. Johnathan would probably point that riveting the scope to the upper receiver is a bad idea, because your rifle will be useless if the scope malfunctions. Glaz's DMR is the SVU-AS, the bullpup Dragunov. Fisher's SC3000K is his custom FN F2000. Montagne's shield would be too heavy to be carried even with both hands and would not have enough thickness to withstand the power of intermediate and full size rifle cartridges. Same to Blitz, except that could be made of composite and polymers to reduce the weight and at least be able to withstand pistol caliber rounds.

[@tomfoolery4490]

Personally, I'd love to see Jonathan's reactions to some of the weapons from the Halo series. Probably would be mostly restricted to UNSC weapons, but I could definitely see something like the Spiker or Covenant Carbine making it on as well.

[@c0baltl1ghtn1ng]

1:16 After replaying the game's singleplayer, I can confirm that's operator error: The player is firing in bursts, it is indeed a full-auto LMG (MMG?) type 11:33 I think that pistol *is* firing in bursts. Every bit of pause from the firing animations ends in 3 rounds less than what was displayed before. 13:34 Could be to emphasize the 'support' role of the Medic: LMG to provide covering fire and suppression, bandages to fix up your wounded. You stay back and let your teammates go first, since LMGs are bulky and difficult to use when not properly set up in the game, can't really move too quic when crouching or prone.

@1:33 : the last killed guy is "voleur de slips", wich is "undies thief", and that's priceless.

I loved this game on xbox and go back to it every now and then on pc. I miss being able to dig people out of cover by blowing walls and buildings up. The Vietnam expansion was also really awesome.

[@NeilMcGlashan]

I loved that in BC2 the Saiga platform shotgun came in 20 bore, and is one of the (if not the only) times I can think that a shotgun available in game wasn't in 12. It was also a horribly overpowered weapon in the game when used with sabot ammunition, allowing for one or two shot kills at like, 100m.

[@HystericalHuntress]

Let us not forget the DMR shotguns the moment you decided to use slugs.

[@marcl.1346]

Points of contension: - The Type 88 was firing with very short intervals, not an audio loop. - B93R is actually firing bursts but the player is just really quick in following them up. - In Bad Company 2 the medics don't have LMG's like you said but the support/ammo guys do. In later Battlefields however they do give the medics LMG's though and vice versa.

[@technollusion]

Hope he does a part two to this since bad company 2 has some unique guns you don't really see in most other shooter games.

[@ChandranPrema123]

React to weapons from Call of Duty Ghosts.A COD game to have the most unique weapons despite being a Near Future Modern based game.

[@filipeamaral216]

I loved Ghosts when it came out; never understood the hate.

[@DickChimney]

Really don't understand why you think the weapons were so unique, they were mostly just different versions of weapons that have appeared in other COD games. (i.e. SA58 instead of FAL, X95 instead of TAR-21, etc.)

[@LipColt]

@@filipeamaral216 failed to deliver a campaign that made justice to the Ghosts' fame and most multiplayer maps were too large for the amount of players the game supports.

0:54 that wasn't an audio loop, it was not the weapon being "designed to fire bursts." The player was tap-firing, they were MANUALLY firing bursts Also the m93r was NOT firing automatic, it was firing burst and the player was spamming the trigger

"Some would call it a battle rifle...I reject that term!" You have been told haha!

[@WuKuVex]

The automatic beretta sounded like that because the player was spamming the burst fire pistol fast as possible. you could pretty much shoot it full auto if you timed the trigger pulls just right and the game mechanics would let you. but it WAS 3 rounds per trigger pull in-game.

[@Necromanzerrr]

Funny how Jonathan talked about the big/small holes on the rear flip-up sight. It might be true, but I just learned in the army that the big hole is for night-ops (more light gets into your eye), and the small one is for the day.

[@TalesOfWar]

For more or less the same reasons, the smaller one is better for long range. It narrows and sharpens the focus like a lens aperture/iris.

When I was in the Army I was stationed in Mannheim, Germany for 4 years and we did some training with the German Army. One of the soldiers there let me fire his H&K G36, which I thought was actually a pretty good rifle. I liked the integrated sights as well as the semi-transparent magazine that allowed you to see how many rounds you had. That soldier also asked if he could trade me one of his German issue Uniforms for one of my ACU Uniforms, which my 1st LT allowed me to do, so I have a German issue military uniform hanging in my closet right now, which I always thought was pretty cool and something to talk about....lol.

The SCAR has basically a legendary status in the civilian market in the US, mostly because of video games. The main problem in the civilian market is the things are so damn expensive, you could buy multiple other guns that perform just as well, if not better, than a SCAR of any variety. The SCAR 20 (don't remember the exact designations beyond SCAR 20) I saw probably a few months ago at a Cabela's gun counter. $4000 was the price tag, without an optic, can't remember if it had built in iron sights or not. My buddy had a 5.56mm SCAR and paid $2800 for it originally. He sold it for more (optic he added on it made it so he was able to get like $3500 out of it) after he liked the gun but didn't like it enough to have spent $2800 on the thing. He basically said he would rather wait for the patent to expire and a bunch of cheaper SCAR clones to pop up on the market than pay the massive price tag, after having owned one.

[@Ratkill9000]

The SCAR is really damn heavy too, especially the 16s. If it's going to weigh that much, might as well give it a thicker profile barrel and not a pencil barrel. Tim from Military Arms Channel did a video on the SCAR 20 not that long ago. It ends up doing better accuracy wise if I recall with a suppressor than just a brake.

[@RocotacoPerposterown]

@@Ratkill9000 that was a huge complaint my buddy had was the weight. Especially for a 5.56 rifle, he was more inclined to reach for a lighter weight AR in 5.56 over the 5.56 SCAR for defense or even Tacticool (tm) range time. He has an A2 style AR build that he has and he said he'd reach for that over the SCAR due to weight. My buddy's main complaints were honestly the weight and the price. He liked it but he wasn't in love with it and, with how much he paid for it, he decided he needed to sell it. That and once someone pointed out the stock looks like an Ugg boot, he couldn't unsee it haha
