I'll admit if flat out, I love playing the Germans. That said, I don't mind occasionally switching to Allies in order to balance things out, but typically, I'm your run-of-the-mill Axis fanboy that enjoys the occasional WW2 shooter. Got into R01 and DH for quite a few years and enjoyed myself there as well.
And yet, I can not help but facedesk repeatedly every single time someone brings up the Mkb42 and CoD in the same sentence.
On nearly every server I go to, it's the same damn thing, "u only killeded me becuz of mkb42 u goddamn c0d nub, i cant wait till you leave for bf3."
At first it was tolerable, but now it feels as though it's infected much of the community. No matter what the situation is, how poor the player was, or how much the circumstances were in my favor, it's always - you guessed it, the Mkb42 cod noob weapon's fault.
It doesn't matter if it's a russian rifleman charging with his bayonet at me and I have a knee-jerk reaction and shoot him several times, it was the 'weapon' I have that caused my victory.
No no, perish the thought that an MP40 or Ppsh could have done the job with equal efficiency, then perhaps the sheer willpower of his mind could have caused his bayonet to deflect the bullets and stick me.
It was just the Mkb42, that's all.
I get the frustration on the Allied side about not having a hard counter to the Mkb, but it really feels like it's time to let go griping about how bad it is for you because of nothing -BUT- that weapon. The teams weren't designed to be symmetrical clones of each other, else why the **** would anyone bother to play? We may as well just have different skins for a gun that does the same thing, shoots the same way, with the same ammo, at the same rate.
The Ppsh still rules as king of CQC. No MP40 or Mkb42 will save you if a Ppsh wielder knows what he's doing, it's just that damn ruthless. (Gott save us when more people get the drum..)
As far as the MP40 goes, I feel as though it's inferior to the Mkb42, and will yield a little on that side of things, though as my friends pointed out, they like it because they feel its lower recoil control allow them to easily make shots at longer distances than people realize. Person preference.
Point being : People need to stop blaming a ****ing gun for being killed. It's not the gun, it's ultimately the player using that gun that decides how effective it's going to be. Blaming the other person's lack of skill and choice in weaponry while you're staring at the respawn menu as they happily prance atop your corpse makes words ring hollow.
((P.S, this isn't aimed at people who don't mind the Mkb42, but just want to see less of it. That I understand, and that is a separate issue. This is just targeted at people who constantly spam the server with, "nurff mkb42" or "goddamn mkb42 cod nubs."))
In any event, thanks for reading, I'm interested to see other people's thoughts on the matter.
