Thats because some moron in the DICE offices got it into there heads that LMGs should be perfectly accurate when you aim down the iron sights. They're a cover fire/surpression weapon not a stupidly accurate powerhouse. Seriously you can SNIPE with the LMG and so long as you single shot fairly quickly can kill people before they can react at any distance.
The official I kinda suck at BFBC2 but play for the lolz thread

mmm not sure about that. takes 3 squeezes off the lmg to kill someone at a decent distance plus theres no point in covering fire in a game where dying doesnt make much difference (apart from squad rush)
and honestly the m60 is only accurate with the red dot sights on (and squeezing at long distance) i do get your point but unless your playin hc there is no point in covering fire (the plus accuracy bonus isnt worth it)
it would be abit better if there was more dip on the lmgs, but yeah the only lmg that doesnt spread out to epic proportions when on full fire is the m60 and maybe the xm8 thing. the others are useless at anything except close range where they get trumped by pretty much every weapon anyway, theres no point if youre runnign around with a weapon that is seriously gimped by a pistol
as a user of the m60 i can say that i can kill stuff with about the same speed using my fav weapon in each class, the ump is amazing, the m416 is brilliant and ofc sniper rifles are brill too. and also liek i said im now moving away from the m60 to the xm8 lmg which allows me to use the medkit perks (mega points!) and that only slows me down a touch.
oh yeah also bear in mind that you really cant move and shoot the lmgs with much accuracy, unlike all the other weapons

Im fairly rubbish at this game but I love it had it since Friday and am currently a "Special?" K/D 0.61.
I could prob do a lot better but I find it really hard to resist the Unreal Tournament urges I have where I jump from behind a wall spraying like a tard!

I'm pretty poor, my K/D was languishing around the 0.5 at one point, as I was playing pure support with the Medic so concentrating on lobbing MedPacs and Defibbing.
Back up to about 0.8 as I'm trying to level the Assault class and the Engineer. Can't be arsed with sniping, once I'm done I'll level the recon class with the shotgun and C4
AND HURRY UP WITH THE AUTOBALANCE. I'm sick of t**ts jumping over to the winning side as soon as they're on the back foot. Losers :/

I'd say that 40% of the nights I play, I generally suck, there is just no continuity with my play.
I can have an amazing 5 minutes, shooting/knifing people left right and centre.. then chase a guy across a road with the intention of finishing him off (reloading or going for the knife.. general red mist ****) only to walk out infront of an M1A2 or half the opposing team.
I'm also pro at throwing grenades only for them to bounce back at me, up stairs is my favourite, only to see it roll back down to me before going off. I also have my knife and grenade buttons as my mouse side buttons, quite a few times gone to knife a sniper, chucked a grenade at his/my feet and ended up a big piles of red mess on the floor.
I also tend to get bored/sloppy/loose focus and start to run about rather than sneaking, running down the middle of a street rather than using the cover either side.. takes a bullet in the side of the head to make me play properly again.

i have fun, with my friends.
Been there, done that, css sponsered. Not what I want anymore.
I often blow up the container they have just run passed, which sends them flying.
I shoot tank shells at their jeeps
We laugh.
Point of playing a game? fun.
The flip side? We get into it, and often get best squad/ace pins and top the boards.
My housemate: takes every game too seriously, shouts orders at everyone and shouts more if not followed out. He's broken 4 pint glasses this year from rage. REALLY made me look at myself, and play games while having more "fun".

I am a bit rubbish but I hate camping and also try and play to win the actual game. K is fine if you are playing a deathmatch game but nothing beats holding that base for a few more seconds and earning a win.

I hate camping too, but i don't stick in one spot for too long, i move from position - position until i get closer to the enemy.
Despite being brilliant at TFC, TF2 and HLDM, I suck donkey nuts at this game. Until this weekend though I had hardly played it properly. I got 5hrs of gameplay in over this weekend and am now a Rank 3 nub!
I did manage to get 3x Epic Fail's during a single map though! Twice I ran into a building that was targetting for mortar strikes and promptly got blown up. On the third occasion I armed myself with a TANK and went for a run around unaware that there was a team mate with me. I then accidently drove off a cliff...
Oh and agree about the LMG Sniping, I was on the receiving end of that and couldn't do much. I'm done past taking games seriously/competitively so I just play for laughs.
Oh and what is a 'tuber'?

I do my best, sometimes things just dont go my way - but rushing enemy tanks with repair tools does that haha.
It really depends on the map and if the rest of your team are pulling there weight, you get a lot of ppl worried about dying and K/D ratio and that doesnt help capture points/plant @ MComs when they are sitting @ the back waitin for everyone else to go first.
What annoys me is when ppl do that in TANKS, and get zeroed in - instead of just rushing forward giving foot soliders the chance to get in behind it thus drawing attention away from them for a short time.

Meh, I'd rather fight a medic with an M60 than get one shotted by either an assault with a grenade launcher or an engineer with a rocket launcher.
I've just learnt to accept that Battlefield is one of those games where you're going to die a lot in ways you couldn't possibly have seen coming.

This is my mission in life.
0.48 K/D ratio and loving it. So far have 3 best player pins due to the way my medkits are everywhere and so are my paddles.
you do know you can only have 1 medkit 'deployed' at a time. As soon as you throw your second, so to speak, your first will dissapear, same with ammo.
I disagree. I guess I'll have to go test it and see because I was sure it hadn't.

Hmm, i deployed more than one and they never disappeared.
I'm pretty sure they do. You might just be seeing someone else's dropped in a similar spot.
