This gun totally ROCKS! :D


The people moaning about it are probably just the cheapskates who didn't want to buy the DDE and are annoyed that the real fans got a decent weapon without level grinding.

You should thank TWI for making the game more accessible to the mainstream putting a gun like this in game.

I'm a little under enthused with the AVT though, which could do with a reduction in recoil, but for the most part both the guns are great.

You're joking right? Most of the guys here that dislikes the weapon also have the deluxe version. Actually, we don't dislike the weapon, we dislike the fact that so many classes can use it.

It was a prototype weapon and some people here is saying that it didn't even see action in Stalingrad.. and well I believe them, but even if it did, I don't believe every other guy in the platoon was equipped with one.

The little bit of realism that was left in the game has been killed with this weapon, that is the problem.

It may "rock," but it NEVER rocked Stalingrad in the real world. Now, it OWNS Stalingrad.

COD'ism 1, Realism 0



Any pretence of realism went out the window long ago, so get used to it.


You have bayonets needing to be unlocked?
PPSH drum mag needing to be unlocked?
silencers on a nagant for EVERYONE?
MBKH42's even being in this game?
experimental scopes for the sniper rifles that didnt exist?
the best one: MP40/IIs.. the failed experimental gun made in small numbers... for EVERYONE as soon as they get level 25?

Either enjoy the game or go back to arma2 and play 'realistically'.

More likely the people voicing their dislike of the weapon do so because not only is the gun suspect to begin with, half of the team gets one. In fact I am willing to bet money the majority of people who are making noise about the MKb are longtime RO players who are very likely to have purchased the DDE. No, I will not thank TW for adding this gun to the game to make it mainstream. There are plenty of thing I would thank them for, but this is certainly not one of them.

or the fact it was promised as a hero weapon to be used by 1 elite player who deserved it and not every german and their mom who bought the DDE

PS: i bought the DDE
i just feel the hero system described pre-release was to work a lot better

Only about half the squad leaders at Stalingrad were even equipped with MP40's (The Wehrmacht was transitioning its infantry squad structure and in the MIDDLE of equipping SL's with them during that period ... nevermind that Stalingrad got p-poor supply, too). Sturmgewehr's were non-existent there. If there are even TWO MP40's on the German team, realism DICTATES that there MUST be a minimum of 16 Kar98's, as that was the minimum proportion of those weapons at the time of Stalingrad.

As far as Stalingrad goes, assault rifles were a thing of the FUTURE.

About this supposed Mkb42 in game.

They're everywhere thanks to DDE, and a bunch of noobs run around with it TK'ing with reckless firing and somehow I still end up with the Kar98 it the top....


This is the only real bs about this game that I could complain about.

This

and i've never been a realism dude, or understood you guys

But I assumed that the game wouldn't be prototype weapon fest

i was ok with the idea of having a hero who could use it.... the current state is way too far off of the original target

Well, now they've kind of painted themselves into a corner. Take them away, make the realism people/balance people happy. Take them away, make the COD types who've been happily window camping with them move on to MW3 when it's released. Damned if they do, and damned if they don't. But, they did it to themselves with this silliness.

Add limits to hardcore realism servers, problem mostly solved.

That would require a new server setting, to limit any weapon/class as it stands now would jeopardize ranked server status. And that is simply not a good option, it is hard enough for some people to find their way into a ranked server, anyone that has to play on an unranked server might as well be a second class citizen.

This has been discussed at length in the Ideas/Suggestion Page, if we want to keep talking about this,k we should probably head on over there.

Another brilliant troll by tauris.

I sprung for the DDE, admittedly, for the TF2 hats and KF skins. I'm pretty disappointed that the MKB is as game-breaking as it has proven itself to be.

I seriously don't want to pull the game up again. It's very disappointing.
