I’m litterly tired of this game. The amount of LMG players that ruining every game is just abnormal. From low ranks to high ranks almost everybody using primarily a LMG. The whole gameplay is just based on this class because this class doesnt require any amount of skill level. LMG’s are recoilless guns, highly accurate, enourmes HOF, huge supression, effective on almost every range, high damage, high magazine capacity etc etc. Everything but everything is just perfectly made for a casual player to get easy kills with this support class. Or you have bunch of proning LMG’s, or you have corner camping LMG’s, or you have roof / room camping LMG’s. Im SICK OF IT!!! Cant anybody understand how frustrating this is for a guy that using a single shot rifle like a autoloading 8.25? The huge amount of bullcrap freaks me out. I just got in to a game, fully loaded with LMG noobs and after 10 minutes i already quited the game. THIS IS BATTLEFIELD 1 and im pretty sure that Battlefield 5 will be exactly the same. CASUAL PLAYER BASED GAME! Im done with whole battlefield. ![e91e809d_6ce8_404f_987d_b2a82b225863.jpg](https://battlefieldforum.co/uploads/default/original/3X/a/a/aa1e028805dfe7f439f2b6e55737bd57af49aa80.jpeg) ---

Don’t forget to shut the door on your way out…If you are done, you are done. Was nice meeting you. On a more serious note, I actually agree. There are far too many people on their bellies with LMG’s since TTK2.0. TTK2.0 and the introduction of the Ilya Muromets bomber have been the two worst design decisions of the entire game lifecycle for me. Rage inducing at times. ---

can’t say it really bothers me tbh, I seem to be killed by an equal distribution of all classes ---

Domination is LMG fest, but it’s ok in conquest. Pretty easy targets on big maps. I snipe them with my rocketgun 🙂 ---

Yep. tbh i’ve hardly touched the game since TTK2 was implemented, it just didn’t feel like the BF1 i knew and loved after that. Change for change’s sake imho ---

8 supports and 7 other classes alive when that screen shot was taken and no one was getting many kills. Looks like a bad server all around but not everyone was using LMGs. You also had the most kills in the server with I’m assuming a medic rifle so what are you complaining about? One of those guys will be starting a thread later today about how LMG’s can’t compete with the autoloading 8.25 unless they camp. ---

One of those guys will be starting a thread later today about how LMG’s can’t compete with the autoloading 8.25 unless they camp. I got called a camper today because I was in a window overlooking a flag and slaughtered about 8 incoming enemy with the M1917 Low Weight. I was over the flag. It’s called defending. I was there for about 2 minutes of a 20 minute game. I moved when too many enemy became too aware of my position. People just get upset because it’s so effective. I used to get the same crying when I used LMGs in BF4, because, yes, if you use positioning and a bipod well you are deadly. And, yeah, the TTK was lower… So we’re seeing BF1 TTK2 for you where the stated aim was to make BF1 more like BF4. Great isn’t it?! It’s not the actual ‘camping’ that’s the problem it’s the fact that they made LMGs so efficient in that situation and so useless in any other (like in CQC up against an SMG) so that’s what most LMG users now do. Before there were a load more run-and-gun LMGs that were like behaving like assault players and no one seemed to mind. Looking forward to BF5? The LMGs are even more deadly when bipodded and even worse when not. ---

Of course there will be LMGs there are recent assignments that require LMG kills. I’m not sure what server or platform you’re playing in but in all of the games that I play in it seems most people are assault or medic. ---

> [@Trokey66](#): > > Stats still say you’re wrong > > [https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/insights](https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/insights) can we change the timeline? I’d like to see how things changed over the last year - pre and post ttk 2.0. I didn’t see an option to do that. I found it interesting that self loading rifles are getting the most kills. Was that always the case? Also would love if the stats could be broken up per platform as in console vs pc. I just have a feeling that the experience on pc is quite different than on console as to what classes/weapons are most effective. ---

I did notice the overall population is now at 74K compared to 136k about when ttk 2.0 hit. It doesn’t seem like ttk 2.0 did anything for continued interest in the game. ---

The top support player in that screen shot has 2 kills for 2 deaths, hmmm I don’t know what more damning evidence is needed for DICE to remove the class altogether? I don’t know what BF1 plays like on PC because it must be a complete different kettle of fish to what it’s like on console. On console when using the support class I can’t stay bipoded for more than a few seconds because if I stay put for too long I’ll get a bullet between my eyes from a sniper, and I would say that well over a 3rd (if not more) of my LMG kills are on the move. Which is probably the same experience for most console player. PC must have more hill hummpers than console because most console players spend most of the time running around like headless chickens. The Autoloading 8.25 is my number one gun and have no problem what so ever handling the “recoil” when coming up against someone using a LMG. If we are talking about recoil, have you used the Parabellum on the move with a controller? It’s a lot more erratic than any of the medic SLR. Anyway, weren’t you leaving this game several months ago? ---

> [@Trokey66](#): > > Stats still say you’re wrong > > [https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/insights](https://battlefieldtracker.com/bf1/insights) Stats say he is wrong now. Stats also said he was wrong over a year ago. He’s been done more times that I can count. As the premier scout, shouldn’t you be able to pick off supports, especially if they are prone? That’s easy pickings for most. ---
