re: BF3 Post Patch--What Setup Do You Fall Back On?

AJF, I thought they were terrible after the first patch the game had right after release, now they are just useless unless you deploy the bipod well out of range of anyone shooting at you, on both systems. Shame really, I love me some M60 rambo action.

That's true, but to be honest that's how those weapons are supposed to be used IRL I would imagine. I'm just taking a shot in the dark, but huge guns like that are probably not the most controllable without being mounted.

I think they wanted us use bipods and set up positions and use teamwork and support the machine gunners with health and watch their backs.

ETA: If you happen to stay alive long enough with your LMG on a bipod, it can do some damage. Like after trapping the US side in their spawn on Metro Conquest.

yea, I understand the thought process behind it all. But to make them useless unless they are bipoded down, then make them useless as soon as a shot is fired in your direction, is a bit much. Maybe reduce suppression when the bipod is deployed, like a built in squad cover or something. I dunno, just dont make them fricking worthless
