MW2 had some that were fine

I pulled some great games in BO with the M60. And in MW2/3 they are pretty good. Issue is they are slow your meant to hold down a location with them, but most people try to run n gun or move to much with fear of being called a camper.

But a nerf in the reduced recoil department would be nice, there ironsights bounce way to much for having to hit as many times at distance as an AR.

most lmg's are too big to run with, they are meant to be support weapons not run and gun weapons, why do you think the germans invented the assault rifle

M60, Big ammo, Lighweight, Steady Aim, Marathon, Nuketown, fun times.

I used the m60 to give cover fire for my team and always picked up alot of assits. The only other lmg i found worth using was the stoner63. Used with lightweight, SOH, and hacker with a red dot and extended mags. It had good range and wasnt to bad to move around with using lighweight. If i used it in any other class i would run with my pistol and swith to it when i got caught in a gunfight. They need more penetration power for sure, even with the use of hardened. And they need more than just 4 to choose from. The rpk and hk21 i found to be weak at times . The m60 was just to big to run with even using lightweight so i only used it for cover fire playing dom

Are you serious? The aug hbar, rpd, m240 from mw2 and the m60, hk 21 and the stoner 63 from blacks ops are amazing weapons even better than the l86 lsw from mw3 if you ask me.

The only good LMG since World at War was the L86 LSW in MW3. L86+Silencer+Thermal+Prone=God mode.

I have to agree, lmgs in modern combat are designed as support weapons, they force the enemy into cover for squad mates to flank and kill

Patronising? Easy to argue. I found Spyplane to regularly reveal all 6 enemies and none of our clan use Ghost on that map. I like map variety, and few are like Array. Plus we did well on it = enjoyable.

Argument tried for and achieved.

MG's give up speedy handling (movement speed, aim time, reload speed, etc.) for power (no damage drop at range, penetration similar to Sniper Rifles, and large magazines). There are very few MG's that bend these rules (e.g. the B.A.R.). Very few MG's kill in four or more shots (these include the MG42, the FG42, the Type 99 at longer ranges, the MG4 and the M240).

Too bad Array was a horrible map all around. Don't even try to argue, it was a giant, stupid, snow map that was brutally slow paced and filled with Ghost abusers.

To make LMGs better, they should increase penetration power and damage. Like the RPD in MW2, that gun was great.

It's not so much the "LMG treatment" as the "COD treatment" and "map treatment". On a couple of positions in Black Ops (eg. ARRAY, on the Caterpillar right side, tucked in) an M60 is awesome and used by someone who knows how to use it, with the correct support and set-up, will be a huge start to a TDM win and all streaks).

The problems are:

- COD doesn't support support fire, exclusively

- COD doesn't give multiple benefits for hits or cover fire, unless it's an assist

- I could only mention 1 or 2 spots on Black Ops for them

- in MW3 they were toilet (map-related to a degree again)

the rpk was the only LMG i ever used in COD that had bad recoil. I don't see anything really wron with the LMGS maybe being able to use the bipod considering half the LMGs i seen already had one you just couldn't use it. INcreased bullet penetration would be a great idea considering i already do that with a hardened perk as my "anti-camp" loadout to shoot them right through the wall

You know that LMGs are ment to be a campers weapon right ? almost everything about them makes camping the optimal playstyle from the low mobility to the simple fact they have far less recoil when used prone, bi-pods simply optimize there tactical role W@W actually did this with LMGs so we already know that LMGs with Bi-pods are perfectly balanced and work well gameplay wise.

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 16:01:03 GMT

The high recoil on LMG's is actually unrealistic, they would have less barrel rise than any other guns because the weight of the barrel and everything counter the kick of the bullets. So that needs to be fixed and they should also have more damage. That's basically the steriotypical LMG, a big powerful machine gun to pound bullet after bullet into your enemies.

if past cod games are anything to go by they will be a waste of time in blops2 they were great up until black ops

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:58:10 GMT

giving a bipod attachment would make it very hard to not give the LMGs a campy reputation. but i think a 2 shot at any range, high recoil and low mobility will make it powerful for those who know how to use it and not all around for any dumbass who can pick up a weapon (MP7, UMP, ACR.. etc.)

Re: LMG's

donotreply@activision.com — Mon, 13 Aug 2012 14:46:39 GMT

how to make LMGs better, simple give us a bi-pod make them 3 hit kills at all ranges and keep all the current Cons that they have.
