There's certainly a void in the light machine guns/SAW-type automatic rifles category of weapon mods for this game. I realize most of that stems from an inability to properly animate a belt being fed into the weapon, but something like this is an excellent work-around to fill that void for those of us with an appreciation for the machine gun's role(and as a breaking-of-the-mold from the monotony of assault rifles.) My only wish is that it'd be possible to actually mount the bipod up a la Battlefield, and be locked in position but gain accuracy with the weapon mounted.
Still, I'm holding out hope that one day we'll get a proper belt-fed LMG like a PKM or MG34/MG42(though I'm actually more a fan of the oddball stuff, like the M1909 Hotchkiss and Czech Vz.59.)
they could get away with the m249 para with a STANAG mag feed mod added to it. or even something like the stoner 63, oh how i love the boner 63 i mean stoner 63. lol (only those who played the first Black Ops will get the reference.
@Patfast Ayep, that's what I said in my OP. "[I]nability to properly animate a belt being fed into the weapon." Still, one day it could happen. For the longest time 3rd person animations were the biggest pain in the ass, but now we're seeing more and more modders implement them. Just gotta give them time while they try to work around the engine.
I was thinking the same thing. its like im a kid in a candy shop but i was told im not allowed to get any candy, and then they say "oh, by the ways this is what the candy looks like".
Will there be a "well used" texture that comes with it... For lore and all that cr*p...? Would be cool to see merphed up ones used by gunners... etc...
But, no worries if not... still its looking stellar!
On one of the earlier screenshots for the weapon, the mod author said it could take months to actually release this due to the animator being very busy. If it's anything like the other weapons by this author, it will be worth the wait.

@migak11 @Scar11 These are good compromises!
