"It's time to end the MMG bipod meta" said Westie

3D spot will kill the MMG invisible camper meta in the egg if it was in the game … :smiley:

OK… switch gears, after a few rounds in Marita, and abusing MMG’s myself… now I know I’ll never go to heaven.

it’s disgusting how map design show the worst of a gameplay mechanic so easily explitable…

It’s revolting and in need for a definite change.

Yeah bipods have killed Marita.

The really stupid supression 3d-spot thing really helps, because anything down range will have a 3d-spot, you don´t even have to see the enemy.

Nerf it all, nerf the sun, nerf vitamin d, nerf the sky , nerf trees, nerf my ceiling fan :sweat_smile:

I just left a Marita that we could have won, and I was top three on my team, because seriously, all the bipod heroes make it so freakikng annoying, and then add in some boys looking for some easy hits and it is a freaking disaster, you take down a wave and a dot that you didn´t see before it started firing with a bipoded lmg/mmg makes it all pointless. They seriously have to take care of the bipoded weapons, they are either good for run and gun, or have good bipods, it is freaking stupid to have them really good at both.

I’m not usually one to complain about others play styles but this whole prone with MMGs is getting out of hand. I don’t even see the fun of it and very few ever do really well with them and they’re everywhere now.

Bad company had it right with no prone at all. Right now it’s just annoying to play.

Mortars could counter this but the community doesn’t like hard counters apparently

so now action- man cant kill support that use mgs? but hey its cool whit him and bandage mommy on there back in the bushes camping on marita that is asum =p

Its indirect fire that’s the problem. Blame DICE for making it a noob bait red dot clicking simulator, since people would just spam mortars from uncap whenever possible.

Bipods have killed the franchise.

Yer, that is what killed BF, bipod Support on 1 map, but go ahead ignore action man on every other map.

Marita? I was using a bipod mmg on that, less effective than either SLR, SAR, AR or BA rifle. Better than an SMG.

Defending.You might get some good streaks going around The left side of the map (as an ally) but the right side is sniper ally and the centre is grenade and assault spam. But you will get death streaks too.

Attacking.. assault and medics dominate at the first objectives. A medic with smoke and a 3x scope commando carbine or m28 can really do well. Especially picking off mountain snipers and prone guys. Snipers can also do well if they know what they are doing.

I’d say most of my Marita deaths are long range tank shellings, assault rambos, stealth bombers. Snipers will be a problem if you also snipe or try prone mmg for long.

Possibly, in my time with BF1 I never felt like mortars were being spammed to pure abuse. Most the time I felt we needed more people to switch from recon to support to help clear out hardpoints in cases of gridlock. BF3&4 I played hardcore and the mortar display was best in BF4. BF1 seemed to strive for a more casual, lower skill cap audience and it worked well even though I absolutely hate bullet sponges

Sorry I mixed Marita and Mercury up.

Marita is still an assault playground. No deaths from air. On break through defending is harder than attacking.

Unless you were on the attacking team I was on yesterday:

Look at them being all scared of that red dot :laughing:

I get attacking teams getting held up on the second sector due to the bottlenecking but the first sector is simple as you usually just pile on.

I was playing Front lines and in that same area a squad mate was laying prone with a mg42, 15 feet to his right was an enemy laying prone with a mg42, completely oblivious to each other. Even in domination, a game mode that is for fast pace action you have people proning everywhere.

Imagine Marita with lots of mortars, every support spams their mortars when they spawn, then sets up bipods for the cooldown (As there usually is in Bf games.)…just imagine that with Bf 1 grenade spam to…lol
