    Please make weapons (or some weapons) deployable to surfaces in front of the player. to reduce Recoil. For example the Machinegun, so it will not be fired with low recoil when prone, but when deployed, making shooting it with low recoil out of crounching (i guess thats what MG-Whoring means) impossible and have some delay (maybe one or two seconds) before low recoil shooting is possible. On the other side, the Machinegunner would not always have to lay down to shoot is gun, he could deploy it hip-high to shoot it. This feature is known from other Mods like Day of Defeat or Insurgency.

    Also the Mortar could be deployable and absolutely unable to shoot undeployed.

    Deploying other weapons like the assault rifle would enable them to be used with less recoil whilst standing behind cover.

    umm...

    Carbine is pin point accurate already. MG is not meant to be a pew pew laz0rx.

    Also, people already MG whore enough with digin as it is, and it's nearly impossible to kill them at times. This won't work very well.

    I think u didnt understand my intention with the machinegun.
    As it is now, its recoil is reduced by just laying down. I want its recoil only to be reduced when deploying it.

    i like this idea, at least for MG
    makes them more vulnerable but also more tactical. no more proneing and crawling around a corner to slaughter everyone, now they have to move up around the corner and deploy.
    easier to prevent whoring and makes hmg more fun (proneing everywhere to have an effective weapon is not my idea of fun).

    im assuming it will be sort of like the 30cal in dod:s where it can only deploy on a solid 48 units high when standing, 30 or so when crouching, and on the ground when prone, in front of the player

    well if u dont think its a good idea to make every weapon deployable then pls give HMG this nerf since its anoying if players crouch around corners and instantly do "WHHOOAAAA I GOT A DEATHLAZ0RRRR!!"

    and i hope u wont just trash this suggestion just because u got noone moddeling or animating just now.

    no, it would take a skill slot to use the weapon at all

    just do an accuracy buff by "supporting" (aiming while adjacent or behind a wall of appropriate height) your weapon like in Red Orchestra
