Oh Yuki, we will have a field day when CoD: Black ops is released, I watched the multiplayer trailer and I'm definitely not buying it. They ripped off Gun game and as usual Call of duty will take ALL the credit and we'll never hear the end of who made gun game first. I lost complete interest when they showed a player pull out a minigun. But I do like that ballistic knife. MW2 just marked the downfall but Black Ops definitely killed the series.
I was thinking about buying this game, until I found out that the physics still suck and they haven't gotten rid of hitscans.

The M60 is a Medium machine gun. It wasn't as durable as it's Soviet counter part the PKM and was known to disassemble during combat.

Fixed.



No he's right, it is a medium machine gun, it's not quite a LMG like a M249 but it's not a GAU17. It's right in the middle, can be mounted on vehicles but can also be carried around.

Almost every single FPS uses hitscan, including TF2. It's more memory-efficient and reasonable than having to create an object for every shot a player takes. With 16 players firing automatic weapons or shotguns in a fast-paced deathmatch game, it'd be stupid to even try that, not to mention any sort of lag would throw the objects off course, and completely disregard the fact that bullets actually travel too fast for humans to see, so that would be entirely pointless anyway.

This is why you don't have any sort of power.

YEAH DOUBLE SHOTGUNS BITCH! EVEN YOU CANT STOP THE TERMINATOR, YUKI!!!

this is totally rong dood you need to get mw2 its how I learnd about guns

Which it's why it's labeled as a General Purpose Machine gun.

It also seems to be where you learned how to behave.

That's not what I mean. If Call of Duty is trying to be a realistic shooter (it's doing a bad job at it), it should've done away with hitscans. Sci-fi shooters like Halo or wacky shooters like TF2 are fine with hitscans.

> Game that claims to be the most realistic, though values gameplay over realism.

MW2 or Black ops isn't realistic, they used their fanbase for practically everything.

> Game that claims to be the most realistic, though values gameplay over realism.
It never claimed to be the most realistic, no one but the uninformed claims that it is realistic. Not even IW have ever claimed it is "realistic".

You simply reiterated your point, so re-read mine, and also read above.
