To be superly annoying, it is not exactly impossible. Considering engagement range seen in the trailer.
Even though I have to admit, it does look silly.
You can see how much the recoil is messing him around, in BiA he's holding it by the barrel, firing full auto and hitting everything he's shooting at. Not to mention the absurd "Oh hang on whilst I slip another belt into it in 2 seconds" reload.
While I wouldn't call it arcady you are right.Treyarch is developing CoD5 atm. And Relic did CoH.
Sure BiA will be arcadey to some degree but I never expected a RO singleplayer with a story and an elobarate tactics feature. You have to like the game for what it is. I will wait for the reviews (demo?) and then decicde if it is worth my time or even money
Gosh you people are ignorant. YOU DONT HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY DO IN THE VIDEO. Neither are there enemies running around hipfiring MG42s either. They made that for the run&gun people AND they always said you could play it both ways, tactically like the way it's supposed to be AND also run&gun. I don't like it either but it's not like Randy Pitchford is coming personally to your home and shoot you if you don't use the MG42.
Also in the GC-version there was no MG42, except for the one in the tower, so what exactly are you talking about? GC-version was very tactically just like previous BiAs.
I don't see where alot of you guy's get this idea that hip-shooting an LMG is completely unrealistic. The US doctrine (well, one part of it) when the M60 was still the main GPMG in use employed marching fire in which the M60 gunner (with a sling) would do an assualt march while hip-shooting the M60 in the direction of the enemy.
Also, just because you are shooting an LMG from the hip, it doesn't all of a sudden mean that you can't hit the broad side of a barn 50-100m out in front of you. In fact, it really wouldn't be that hard to walk a stream of bullets across targets down range.
