(the cool one)
>>65200391Real niggas never forgot
>>65200391Why 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
>>65200408>hkIt wouldve made the SCAR look like a budget rifle
>>65200391how could I ever forget it?
>>65200408why 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.
>>65200428>nobody wanted the G36i mean XM8
>>65200430They're literally the same gun.
>>65200391Fish gun, best gun.
>>65200391NEVER FORGET
>>65200428The 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
>>65200446Bad 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.
>>65200451It'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.
>>65200456I 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.
>>65200465bf4 > bf1 > bf3 > bc2
>>65200446>>65200456I 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.
>>65200476>No 1942>No 2142>BF4 at top>BF1 included at allDisgusting.
>>65200423was also going to post Ghost Recon 2
>>65200391>>65200423>>65200446It 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.
>>65200485I 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.
>>6520045180s 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
>>65200557You 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.
Still alive and well in Malaysia
>>65200476Going just off multiplayer:BC2 > BF3 > BFV > 1942 > BF1 > 1943 > BF4 > the rest cause I never played the multiplayer or never played them at all
>>65200465I once was MVP in a BF3 match just off hiding as a sniper and calling targets with UAV.
I have an image of XM8s as fish somewhere on my computer, but I cannot find it. Moushi wake gozaimasen.
>>65200641>>65200650>>65200654>>65200674why are all of their mags empty? >>65200706BF3>BF4>BC2>BC1>BF6 (I haven't played any others)
>>65200538Bad Company 1 & 2 are all time greats wtf r u talking about
>>65202336Because it's a parade.>>65202354Reading comprehension, anon.
>>65200511that's because 2142>>>>>>all so including it just shunts them all into the garbage.
>>65200391Bad Company... SOVL... HOME...
>You now remember
>>65200557>80s HK was a different animalcorrect, that 3 other anons on this board actually remember
>>65200391There was some talk about S5 Tactical possibly recreating the XM8.
>>65200456> Bc2 >First match> Enemy IFV bursts trough a wall and starts blasting>That BOOM BOOM BOOMDamn that was impressive at the time even tough my pc was so shit that i only could play it on the lowest settings
>>65200476That's a zoomer take if I ever saw one.Bad Company 2 is the most enjoyable and memorable game in the series by a large margin. Rush on Arica harbour with the homies was the shit.
>>65200391I'll always remember it because Bad company was the first fps game I owned
>>65200465I used to prefer BC2 to BF3 but, BC2 has some cheesy exploits that experienced players could pull on you which BF3 didn't have
>>65204935>Bf3 didn't have exploits
>>65205018They were usually more subtle and tending to get fixed faster.
>>65200391those were the days
>>65200549Major studios lost their souls once big investors realized how much potential for profit was in the industry. You make a movie, people pay to see it - then what? You sell toys and fast food tie ins?You can do that with a game, but keep selling tiny additions to it without having to make a full blown sequel and use that to fund the sequel.The one good thing is that digital marketplaces make it much easier for small and indie games to get purchased.
A1 here old Delta Force player… I mean the 1990s voxel one.. I even bought a p233mmx to be able to play. 32 people multiplayer was so rad. Lobbing grenades from the m16 launcher as improv mortar..
>>65204105That would be amazing, but my biggest gripe with S5 Tactical is their association with GSG9 and Todd Bailey. I really want a proper G36 and XM8 for the US market that everyone can enjoy, but I'm afraid many will suffer as they usually do under Todd's influence.
>>65205627okay that's cool and all but the real chads were out playing other novalogic gameshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qe6yPz4znTc&list=RDqe6yPz4znTchttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZX9TaoAF78
>>65205738Wasn't a flight sim gamerPlayed flight simulator II on hercules and some fighter game where you shot 6 triangle shaped rockets, that was before the internet. I had no idea what I was doing for these..
>>65205664So what's the story about Todd Bailey and Tom Bostic? I've only heard bits and pieces.From what I can gather/remember, Todd Bailey owns GSG9 and would sell the G36/UMP parts to Tom who would handfit, package, and sell complete guns from his website, right? But I remember hearing something about Todd trying to steal Tom's designs and manipulate him by threatening to cut his supply of parts? There was also some of that drama going on with the MP7 clone, wasn't there? S5 is now selling GSG9 made guns, but what happened to UO Arms? Weren't they supposed to do G36s as well? I'm guessing dealings with Tom and Todd went sour, Tom wanted to wash his hands of it and sold everything to UO Arms, and GSG9 is now working with S5 Tactical and they're potentially competing against each other?I have several Tommybuilt guns including one of his XM8s, but I've been totally out of the loop on all of this for the past couple years.
>>65205924You can get the whole story on HKPro by searching GSG9 or Todd.This is a pretty informative thread:https://www.hkpro.com/threads/tommybuilt-the-t7-gsg9-and-youtubers.577599/?post_id=4197818&nested_view=1#post-4197818
>>65200391>Lost in a terrible shipping accidentF
>>65205627My parents probably still have 2 and BHD stashed away somewhere.
>>65205532Indeed
>>65200436YOU TAKE THAT BACK
>>65200391Maybe one day S5 will make an XM8. The real issue would be sourcing parts.
>>65200391Would there be any point taking this over the G36 besides being able to spin it as somehow American?
>>65200391>teenager, only gun knowledge is vidya and Mack>oh man, look how modular it is, you can turn it from a sniper to an LMG to a compact carbine in seconds!>so much better than that garbage outdated M4>years later, actual experience >realize the M4 was just as modular for fucking decades at that point
>>65200391It's got a very late 90s early 00s rounded plastic "blobject" aesthetic. In term of operation how close was it to the G36? Because on the surface it seems like an attempt to pass off old goods as new.
>>65205924>Tom Bosticlast I saw of him he was spurging out online about everyone claiming how S5 was better than his receivers. Not taking it well in retirement
>>65200408hatred of money and you.
>>65210976Tom never made receivers.
>>65200391I never forgot
>>65205532That XXX 2?
>>65211232yes familia
>>65200645peak dystopiancore
>>65211251Remember when M1s got hijacked by ghetto gangs?
>>65200408>>65210991H&K took a hard, "Fool me once..." stance after getting dicked by US import and German export laws in the 80s.
>>65211457yea, i also remember they made mockups with extra autocannons on top of the turret.i think its time for a rewatch.
;(
>>65211457No
