Why did HK never make a civilian version? It probably would have been very successful because it was in pretty much every video game from 2008-2012

It wouldve made the SCAR look like a budget rifle

how could I ever forget it?

>>65200408
why make a gun that will take an entire production line just so an handfull of americans will buy it ? the sole reason why there's a civilian G36 is because the german army and a few others have it so plenty of civilians want it too.
nobody wanted the G36 except one country in SEA that banned gun ownership, a bunch of gamers and movie enthusiasts purchasing it won't make enough money to warranty an entire production of it.

The XM8 is just a G36 in a different shell. Making civilian XM8s would be less effort than making the SL8, which required a redesigned single stack magwell due to the assault weapons ban. Plus, HK clearly isn’t hurt by selling ludicrously expensive civilian weapons, as evidenced by them selling civvie PSG1s in the 80s and them continuing to sell civvie 416s now even though nobody buys them

Bad Company 1? That's one of the last times I ever remember truly being blown away by a game's physics engine, we've just been losing features ever since.
>>
>>65200451
It's not that they couldn't, it's that they don't care. They'll do it if they feel like it, and won't if they don't. They seem to be one of the few that have enough military contracts that they can get away with it. The one company that probably truly doesn't give a fuck about their civilian whales and just sells them overpriced shit to laugh at them.

I prefer BC2.
BF3 is still my favorite. Hotswap from BF2 was great, but I can see why they eliminated it from campaign.
Only game that comes close for me is Delta Force:BHD on PC.

I remember being blown away with immersion during the first battle you get into in some tiny 2-3 house village in BC1. From the sounds of the gunfire to blowing a hole in a wall to get into cover to the echos of my HK416 when I was shooting indoors. Everything after that I just feel has been going downhill.

It was the worst of the series but still decent. I did never play Denied Ops though and apparently that was even worse.
Vietnam was tits. Both Desert Storms were great. The first game was more technical and difficult than SOCOM at various points.

I think game development has stagnated because they realized the initial profits are there no matter what they do.
Graphics are better, but not mind-bendingly so.
Solo campaigns are basically dead.
Innovation is dead.
They just try to appeal to a target audience with a rehash and rebranding of the last offering that made money, with tiny improvments. And push it out flawed, so paying preorder players are basically their testers. Then do critical updates for flaws and make you pay for the DLC that should have been included in the game.

80s HK was a different animal and the PSGs were made in Germany before 922r requirements and other issues.
The 416s are made domestically for the most part due to the US requiring domestic manufacture for DoD purposes. It's why they're here as is and why they're easy to get. To make a proper G36 or XM8 they'd have to either setup a chain to export it in gimped form and then remake it similar to how the Scar17 comes into the US, pic related, or setup actual production here. The G36 is at this point, a legacy product with no future.
While I hate HK for being cucks and find a lot of their official excuses weak, the XM8 would be a dogshit product to bring over for a lot of reasons. Only thing they can do legally and make financial sense at this point is export parts

You have decent points but the could ship actions over and then install them in US made receivers.
The could even do metal or poly clamshell depending on what the market asks for.
If your "receiver" is made in the US import/export becomes much easier, at least on the US side.
They wouldn't even need dies made until they say sustained demand, you could do additive manufacturing for both poly and metal for an initial run of ~1000 each, still see a profit and use that to fund die making.

I once was MVP in a BF3 match just off hiding as a sniper and calling targets with UAV.

There was some talk about S5 Tactical possibly recreating the XM8.
