BF1942 for BFV, in other words a free gift from EA - Page 4

The reason they didn't use the Garand is because there is no German or Japanese semi-automatic rifle, so they gave American's the No. 4's, or else they'd have an unfair advantage.

yes god forbid there is the slightest variance between the two sides equipment.

But then it wouldn't really be fair. I mean, the American BAR (which is absurd that so many guys get it, btw) is already considered more powerful than the MP44 (also known as the StG44, in case you're wondering what I'm talking about), so why give the American's ANOTHER advantage? Unless you make the MP40 and the German sniper rifle (it's been such a long time, I'm 90% sure it's the Kark98k) more powerful than the american variants...

yea. thats why I like DoD so much. the classes are more realistically balanced. not like 20 guys with BARs, 4 thompsons, a couple No4s, and a few Springfield 03s.

I always thought that BFV was the Vietnam mod for BF1942. So... They are making a WW2 mod for a Vietnam mod of a WW2 game!

Well im happy, its free.

No, Americans endered the war with the garand

The only reason it wasnt in BF1942 before 1.4 is because they didnt make one, its that simple. Most soliders in the war were equipped with a garand or something very similar. It could have been for gameplay balance maybe thats why they didnt make one. Also, the germans out numbered us in automatic firepower 5:1.
