Ginjasy Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Does anybody else find this gun as useful as a chocolate teapot. All the other Specact guns are great but the MG3 is an awful gun, they should have given us the M60 or PKM instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barad Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Nah your right, this gun does sound like a beast but handles horrible..100 kills was painfull, but killstreaks is written all over this guns name you gotta admit that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of contradicting don't you think..I personly think that a light machine gun shouldn't be hella weak but that's just me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXDOSERXx Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 I had no problems with it. I didn't like it at first, but after the first 10 kills I started to like it. I used it with 4x scope/mag ammo. I got the 100 kills for it in 3 games of SDM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awnshegh Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Are you guys kidding me. I've goten the killstreak with all the other guns no worries. Even the M95 and I hate sniping. But the MG3 just does not have the stopping power even with MGNM ammo. I've actually taken to semi sniping with a 4x scope to try and stretch out those kills and I just can't get enough kills. Seriously considering boosting this with a friend who's having the same issue with the M95. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetteindreams Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 if you need a third awnshegh hit me up i think that the OP was spot on with their comments - i got lucky with my killstreak, killing a group that had 2 unlucky people spawn with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KNIGHTOFSERA Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 not my favorite LMG, but I didnt have any problems with it.....took me longer to get the assault and sniper ones assault because people would come behind an stab me every time I got 4 kills and sniper, cause i suck at sniping...so just went around and no scoped people up close but the MG3 isnt bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting harder and harder to find a good game in Oz. But of course you're more than welcome to join us - We usually have between 3 and 6 of us partied up which makes for some much easier games.

I CR0W I Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 You can't just hold the trigger down like an M60 scrub. You have to fire in bursts. It's a fucking beast of a gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awnshegh Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 You can't just hold the trigger down like an M60 scrub. You have to fire in bursts. It's a fucking beast of a gun. Ahh. But I think the MG3 is slower to level out after each burst and this is why I'm always getting pounded by M60s and XM8s. Take a look at my stats. I use the 88 with Medic mostly because it's a monster with burst fire and a very quick leveling. I'll be going back to it once I get this little achievement too.

euanpetrie Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 At first I thought it was a POS, but once I fitted the red-dot on it I thought it was just as good as any other LMG. Personal fav is the Xm8-lmg or whatever its called. The MG3 rate of fire is ridic amazing tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DENAz666 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yeah for the kick back, it feels like it should be more powerful (not saying it should be). I stick with the assault rifles personally, I just can't use the LMG's for some reason Getting a 100 kills with it is taking me a bit of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mejimmeh45 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 its not that bad its got the exact stats as the pp2000 just bigger mag and way more recoil. just fire in bursts if their from a distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
assassinatordan Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 i really liked this gun. I got the platinum in about 10 hours of using it. I used red dot and mag ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Io Haze oI Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I prefer it a lot more to the normal MG-3, I was getting quite a lot of streaks of 8 or more using this gun. The sond of shooting it was a lot better than the M16 which I really hate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WonderCaliban Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I personally found the 5 killstreak with the UMP to be the hardest. Just because when playing as an engineer most of the kills come from mines/rockets rather than using an SMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because when playing as an engineer most of the kills come from mines/rockets rather than using an SMG. Hated this gun at first. If you do anything equip the extra mags and magnum ammo. The fire rate is there for a reason and the iron sites are not bad despite what ppl say. The M60s are much worse. Hold that trigger down trust me you'll like the gun in no time.

ConfusedGeek Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 i rather use this that killing 100 ppl with the "gold" sniper. i suck at sniping and only get about 4-5 kills a round, and not to mention i only like doing when attacking on arica and isla.

Le Vampyr Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 The more I used this gun, the better I was able to handle it and find the right specs for it. Even so, I still found it to be a horrible gun, and even firing in single round bursts you'd still end up aiming at the sky lol. Doesn't have enough stopping power, even with the magnum ammo. I'm not asking for a 1-3 hit kill here, but you can see why this LMG needs 100 rounds per clip lol. I've got the SPECACT achieve though (along with the others), so thankfully I won't ever have to touch the MG3 again. Though just looking at the MG3 in my MG36 makes me sigh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guillermo316 Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 yeah this is like now my favorite gun, in my opnion the only usefull gun in the medica class, i never like the m60 iron sight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunno mate I guess your right lol I just never liked light machine guns and to choose the worst one for the DLC, I mean just why?! But hey its an alright weapon if you can use it properly.

RadiantViper Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 I don't think it's that bad but it's definitely not my favourite. All the Medic guns are somewhat similar from what I've experienced (PKM is my fav). So I can use it an generally do well, but would rather have another gun. I thought the M95 would take forever (I'm average at sniping in this one), but I put a red dot on it and I've actually gotten more kills than with any other SPECACT weapon.

xXDOSERXx Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Yeah, if you use it right, it is a good weapon. Just burst fire with it rather than spraying. Majority of my kills were from long distance and I felt that the damage and handling were both good when burst firing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Awnshegh Posted April 29, 2010 Share Posted April 29, 2010 Well after all my whinging about how hard it was I did it quite easily last night. So then I switched to the M60 to see what the fuss is about. I must say I now understand why so many people use it. But I've just switched to playing recon with the M95 & Red Dot. One shot kills at close range & able to make a chopper think twice before circling over your base. Nothing beats it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
