The MG42 in this Battlefield Game is Scary and Horrifying...

[@MichalKaczorowski]

Abandoning BFV was a huge mistake. Imagine the Eastern Front and fighting in Stalingrad or Berlin with these graphics, physics and sound.

The game got so much hate. They thought they had to abandon it.

Im still traumatize about the rendition of the MG-42 in call of duty WW2 and how sacrilegeously slow the rate of fire is in that game 😅

[@blitzaurora3393]

The Stinger was even worse 🤢 IRL it has a fire rate of almost 1200rpm In game it was 450rpm

[@skell_chr26]

At first, I thought "It's probably not as bad as this guy says it is" thinking it was around 8 to 900 RPM Then I look it up and oh boy it's 650 RPM default and up to 720 with perks, now I've seen it all

[@zacharywatson5667]

Ive always argued that this is how all of the larger LMG's should be used, not running around as if its an AR

[@JesusChrist-qs8sx]

BFVs MMGs were one of the better innovations of V. It makes the LMG archetype an actual distinct class instead of just being big ARs

[@mekacrab]

That's the most fun way of using them in BF. I usually get a bipod if it doesn't have one and just rain bullets on ennemies 300 meters away. Yeah it shouldn't play like an AR. Although you should still be able to use the sights while standing on most LMGs, idk how it is on BFV, maybe it's just the MG42.

[@moonshaae]

[@izikki11499]

I hope they bring back lot of mechanics that were in this game to the next game. Fortifications was awesome. Gunplay was probably some of the best. Squad call ins was awesome. Controversial, but I loved the vehicle enter and exit animations, it made it more of a commitment when using vehicles, and can’t just bail instantly to cheat someone out of a kill they earned. The MOVEMENT, crouch sprinting, ledge grabs, 360 prone. They could bring the soldier customization too that would be cool so long as they keep it grounded and more militaristic and not goofy cosmetics like they started doing in 5. Also the attrition was kind of cool it made it a bit more hardcore, maybe not implemented the best way they coulda, at times it was just kinda annoying but they were on right track with it.

[@mekacrab]

The vehicule animations are a controversial topic ? I find them great. It's more immersive and you don't have to guess where the guy teleported to when he gets out of his vehicule (and ultimately kills you because of it even though you were the one deserving the kill).

[@sendingit2601]

Fortifications were seriously so rewarding. I honestly thought the soldier and gun customization was the worst yet. Everything about them were just ugly and there was 0 variety. And the worst part, all of it was behind pay wall. I clocked so many hours on that game and got maybe a few basic gun camos and soldier outfits.

[@RobinDale50]

I'm telling you, B5 is a fun game. I play 3/4, 1 and 5, mostly 1 and 5 now. 1 is a stone cold classic at this point, but 5 has a lot of fun stuff to offer.

[@beardedxdeath]

It's fun but it lacks the immersion from BF1

[@hipatrykk]

​@@beardedxdeath true, but gameplay in BF V is better. Sniping expercience in BF V is quite good, in BF 1 random bullet deviation is just annoying.

Since launch my hot take has been BfV is the best battlefield game of the series. Many wont agree but overall it's always been the best experience imo. (Not counting the nostalgia feeling of older games just pure feeling and gameplay.)

[@DG_427]

Another fun fact about this gun, the MG3 is a modern version of the MG42. MG3 is still largely used, tells how good of a design it really is.

[@claudyfocan731]

The MAG58 we designed in the 50’s 🇧🇪 is also based it. The pawl mechanism to load the rounds on the M60 and minimi’s (M249, M240) is the same as the MG42. It was a excellent and advanced design for sure.

[@mjcooperman]

That V1 explosion never gets old. So good.

[@apocalypticweasel9078]

Great gun but had a huge caveat after 150 rounds of constant fire the barrel would over heat and had to be change this rendered the gun in operable for an amount of time the barrel changer also wore protective asbestos gloves which were cumbersome and made the changing of the barrel even harder, its other caveat was you needed a lot of ammo as it would just rip through ammo like there was no end to it. The German military were disappointed and were advised against sustained rates of fire and ordered to use it in only 3 to 7 round bursts so whilst the reported rate of fire was 1220 rounds per minute its actual rate of fire was 154 rounds per minute due to barrel overheating issues and shortage of ammo.

[@Damageplan138]

You can destroy enemy tanks with the repair tool in BF5.. I think you might have forgot that. No need to tickle. lol

If you think that's a fast rate of fire, the MG45 was meant to be its direct replacement and reached up to 1,800 rounds per minute. Fortunately for the Allies, it never left prototyping and only ten were ever built.

In 1998-99 they were the earliest days to play live with developers of ( Day of Defeat Mod 1.2) for Half-life and we played on servers against every developer at once, all the guys that made the guns and sounds and everything. My goal was to take out the creator of the MG42 because it was the first game artist that ever made a great looking MG42 in an FPS and was my favorite. I stormed Dog1 beach and took out everyone with an Mg42 and m1 carbine 😅. All of them congratulated me for running up the beach so aggressively whilst taking out each of them with their own creations😅 👏 Proudest day as a homeschooled 14 yr old gamer at the time😅
