The Mkb42(H)

Agree with all that is being said here.
Bolt action rifles were the bread and butter of RO:OST. It is what made the game so different from other WW2 shooters.
I'm beginning to feel like I'm playing DoD without class limits at the moment...
Nah, DoD was more balanced than this.
I wonder if there are still people playing DoD. That was a fun game and it had the best MG ever. You were truly scared when a belt fed MG42 was deployed somewhere.
I bet people on this forum were mocking BF1942 for the fact that half the german team had STGs
BF1942 did not claim to be a ultra-realstic, historically accurate gaming experience.
yeah this is ridiculous.
i decided to pick the mkb42 just to see what the fuss was about and, oh my god!
i was 34/2 the whole match. I was destroying people at all ranges lol.
TWI needs to add another class, call it Elite Assault or some s*** have only 1 or 2, and give them the mkb42/avt.
But lets be honest, TW would rather take a knife to their own eyes than to change their beloved unlock/class system.
This has been brought up numerous times, both before and during the beta; TW has not so much as even acknowledged it.

What in the hell?
What in the hell?
My granddads friends German uncles granddad fought at Stalingrad with a custom gold plated 50.cal sten gun with laser pointers and GL attachments...
With an assault rifle there is no fun. what does it matter if I miss the first shot when I can just spray and annihilate every Russian?
I'm crap with bolt actions, I constantly miss, can't lead a target for ****, forget to rebolt all the fkin time and panic to the point of keyboard mashing but It's damn fun, semi-auto rifles were a challenge but Mkb42's just rape everything.
as to the suggestion that we should give the achievers the Mkb42 through promotion? give someone who is naturally gifted with cat like reflexes a rape machine? no! give them a pointed stick, that's it.
My suggestion is that we should give the Mkb42 to the people who 'need a bit of help' for the elitists it can be viewed as a handicap weapon and for noobs it can be a chance to level the playing field, win win.

Also what's with the sound of Mkb42? It sounds loud and not just gun loud but more like static noise loud with buzz and stuff.
Haven't actually been in game with it yet, but my clanserver is losing players over this... coupled with team imbalance in numbers and constant *****ing on the server rather than the forums, which we have to deal with.
I just wish they would actually acknowledge ONE of the legitimate concern threads. (TW staff, that is)
I appreciate the work they are doing but their previously good communication has disappeared for the most part in the last 48 hours (except 3 pre-written update posts and a link for a good review?)

Don't worry, Tripwire did communicate with the community.
They told us to stop whining and locked our threads.
Yet another reason to stop playing for awhile. I still cant get past the crippling performance, and now I'm just seeing mkb42's everywhere. Please limit it to 1 per team. PLEASE! I wish it wasnt even in the game at all. No one uses bolt actions anymore
Theyre censoring the forums from any negative comments. Theyre trying to keep the forums under control so it doesnt hurt them in the sales department.
I mean what where they thinking when they designed the weapon they knew the balance between germans and russians would be like 3:1 before launch then they made some maps most people consider Axis favoured....and then they put in the MKB for half the classes...sounds legit

MKB is a beast! I died twice as much as usual in long range and close range since the introduction of it. It doms cqc and long ranges. And I was just starting to like playing for the Allies (mostly because I'm sick and tired of the voices).
Tripwire's amateur roots really show in their design-choice department.
It does not matter how buggy the game is, how badly/good it performs, how ugly/good the maps look, how well the tanks perform, etc If a game is unbalanced it will sink faster than corpse attached to cinderblocks.
Woah, I think people are getting off track here. In no way should TW nerf the MKb! There I said it, but it is true. What they should do is limit the number of them, or leave them out of some maps entirely. But messing with the laws of physics and weapon handling should not be the solution.
