Forcing players to work as a team rarely - if ever - works in shooters. Sure I wouldn't personally mind that I would be carrying some MG tripod or so, but what would the MG gunner do about it? Start constantly yelling get over here, demand ridicuously stupid requests to get tripod to some location where you can't do it and eventually there's no HMG in your team at all, just some guys going "no u" with the whole clownfest of arguments.
Sure it would reward if you gather some people you know together and actually coordinate and work together (which is obvious), but then there's no guarantee can you get the gunner as there's some guys fighting about putting the tripod on some stupid location or the MG gunner is wondering how do I use this thing.
What's the benefit? MG gunner might be able to keep track of its targets\surroundings slightly beter, but it's still sitting ducks and when some eager helper would start to reload (presuming it would be rewarded with points) if you want to displace before you get raped by hail of bullets and there's 2-3 guys wanting to reload and you're stuck, go figure. It's same in RO:Ost already occasionally that you go into good position with MG, start shooting, displace and suddenly half of your team wants to give ammunition and they usually get killed, or simply prevent you from getting to another 'good' position.
It's amusing once in a while, but after seeing it going on for couple of years even the last lulz that it can produce has been squeezed out.
