Real Deployable Machine Gun

This would be epic for a M240-B if it takes that long to set up etc.

Why didn't Salmonella's idea go through?

good question.

lets see.

• If you get shot on it you die instantly and can't be revived.
• Its glitchy as hell to setup and can be exploited in some cases.
• And overall its not as realistic or useful as our current LMG/GPMG Bipod Deployed mode, with the possible exception of a tripod deployment for a GPMG but that would take a lot of work to setup and would still have the same issues as above, although possibly not as glitchey as a tiny deployed bipod weapon.

This is amazing! Looks cool, but default deplyables have more control. Good effort though!

Oh wait, topic post date of 2009 *facepalm*

This topic may be old, but I still love the idea.
This needs to be programmed in-game.

Trouble is that deployable mgs like this are really buggy and would be super annoying thanks to said bugs. Just look at FH2 1/2 the time the deployable disappears into the ground.

Oh.
That's disappointing, I really liked it.

I had an idea last time I saw this about whether if it was possible to exploit this by putting similar objects, with both vehicle and c4 characteristics, on other vehicles in order to gain more vehicle positions. Has any research been put into this?

This is quite possible. Even vBF2 has different accuracy "settle points" for different
stances and different speeds of stability returning (if you move, change positions, etc)
GO play BF2 and take an lmg or even an ar prone then crouch then stand and reverse.


This could easily be implemented, at least in comparison to the original MG idea of
deploying/undeploying. Thing is prone would be the only 'properly deployed' mode.
You wouldn't get stability at a window or over a fence because you wouldn't be prone.
