I think that had the guy been equipped with a spoon he could have taken out such a clueless Russian team.

You, my good sir, have hit the nail on the head.
Everyone is trying to debunk the facts instead of focusing on the flaws. The MG34 can be fired from standing, it can be fired accurately in short burst, and it's not a flame spitting dragon that's impossible to tame. The flip side of all this, and something that Tripwire seems to have neglected, is the lack of any real weight behind the thing. You can move outside of the free aim zone with an LMG far too easily.
Adjusting within a small area shouldn't be any slower than a rifle considering the weight distribution of the weapon, but once you break that point it should be a bit slower than a rifle (turning 180 and the like).
I guess the list grows, but this kind of falls under Lack of Intertia.

I'm not to worried about this, I'm fairly sure TWI will fix this. I think it was not a conscious design decision from TWI to make hipping an LMG so easy.
Mekhazzio said:I'm shocked, shocked I tell you, that it's easy to kill completely oblivious targets with an automatic weapon from 10 meters or less. The L in LMG means that part of its intended use is for exactly that sort of thing. Is it great at it? No, and in the same vein, that video would've been done better by someone with an SMG. He switches to his pistol when he needs better accuracy. The one time the guy tries to spray through a wall at someone who took cover, his shots scatter so far that he winds up wounding the friendly in the room too.
What bothers me in the frag video are the graphics settings he's using. That's cheating, full stop.
This is a problem in Ro2 I wished the mg was like the ones in RO1 while they didn't kick as much from a mounted position.You actually had to mount them from the hip grabbing the tripod and setting up before you could hip fire.That prevented the run and gunning we saw in this video.
Im pretty happy with the guns in ro2 recoil wise etc vs ro1 but the mg kicks too much from the mounted position and hipfiring is too easy...or fast.
He switches to his pistol when he needs better accuracy.
Going by my memory, but didn't his barrel wear out and that was the reason for him switching over to pistol (either that, or he had thrown a grenade and the pistol was the first thing he switched over to), He did change the barrel while in Central Hall top floor, shortly after pistolin', so my memory tells me it was a worn out barrel.

which explains why he missed about 50% of his shots.
