Bipod mod

[evhgear]

I just found this on youtube, and I was thinking that if we could have this for all bipod weapon in FH2, we could be more kickin'asses lol.

what is the difference between what is ingame now and what is shown in the video other than high accuracy while crouching/standing with a bipod deployed?

[VonMudra]

None.

Are you unable to move when you have the gun zoomed in while standing crouching? cause if thats the case then this has been suggested before and theres been plenty of heated debate about using something like that for MG34s/MG42s/Brettas/other heavy MGs. In theory it would simulate propping it up on a window or something, but in practice people would abuse it standing in the middle of the street looking stupid.

If ony BF2 was versatile enough to require a mesh in front of you to deploy it...

[Paavopesusieni]

Then I would most likely support my MG42 on air and that way I could see over slope. Then when I start to get shot I would prone, looks incredibly stupid.

It has its good sides also, especially on Normandy maps with lots of houses. With deployed mode I could use the full potential of MG34 and 42 and shoot from windows and over fences.

Its cool and works in PR at least, but can be exploited in so MANY ways. Though I like more how PR MGs have such a small recoil than deployed mode.

yeah the thing has 2 main features

pro - you can fire "accurately" with lmg out of windows , over fences/sandbags etc. making them more usefull

contra - you dont need any supporting structure to use this. you can simply deploy the MG in midair firing with great accuracy making those kind of MG even more badass than rambo with 2xM60 akimbo-mode.

the system we have now has it flaws by dissallowing the "heavier" MG34/MG42/lewis/breda to fire standing and using cover better. but it also prevents them from beeing total rambo guns.

If the devs can find a way to clip and unclip the bipod on a sandbag or a window, and then only when the gun is fixed to the sandbag/window, get the precision like if you where prone.

I beg to differ, I coded the guns in the OP's Video, contrary to belief, it takes not only a long time to get in and out of the zoomed "deployed" mode, but while you are in that mode you are VERY, and I say that lightly, VERY slow, aiming is slowed, movement is slowed, and it makes zooming in out in the open a death warrant, because you slow down instantly, not after you are zoomed, but instantly. So you can stand there for the 1 and a half seconds or whatever it was out in the open waiting for the bipod to deploy, but its not recommended as you are effectively a sitting duck.

Supposedly they did manage to do that, but it was ungodly glitchy.

[Eat Uranium]

No, it was a thought experiment, using thousands of vehicles at each ledge to represent it.

[VonMudra]

Mmm, oki, so that's what it was.

[Natty]

ive said it before in the old "resting MGs on windowledges/sandbag edges" discussion :: as long as we dont have real collision with the gun and the surfaces (like in RedOrchestra 2), making a fake system is not worth it. You will never ever ever make me believe Im resting the bipod against the ledge just by insanely reducing my movement. It feels like a very "moddy" and bad design solution.

Our current system stays in check with the engine we use and is a fun and perfect compromise that players can use while playing the mod online.

I always though that the MG update to PR killed it's gameplay. All you have to do in a firefight is just set up an MG and watch your kills rack up. It killed PR don't let it kill FH2.

[Thorondor123]

PR is dead!? Just the other day they had ten times the player FH2 had. RIP.

Calm down, PR isnt dead, that isnt what he said 

And btw, have you tried the latest version? no more laz0r MGs.
