HAY GUYS

In terms of presentation, yeah, it is interesting, but in terms of actual gameplay, why can I not take cover when everyone else can?

I'm dodgy on the issue of first person cover systems. It works well in Gears because you've got a full 360 of everything around you. I haven't played R6 Vegas but I'm under the impression that taking cover in first person would greatly limit your FOV greater than it already is, making some of COD4s frantic gunfights even harder to get around.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

They're talking about taking cover ala Gears of War where you could "snap" onto any solid object big enough to cover your character and use it as protection, allowing you to swing around, jump over, or just sit behind it as long as you saw fit.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Yeah, we all use mics and work as a team, but if we aren't alerting someone about potential danger, we're chatting away about random bullshit, like how much fried chicken Eleo eats on a daily basis.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Going on pure in-game stats, the M14 should be more powerful, so I can only assume it's down to the accuracy. I can't say I'm a fan particularly. I'm somewhat taken with my G36C to be honest.

Steady Aim only works when you're firing from the hip. It does nothing on recoil if you're aiming.

That said, I love the M14. It's like the G3, but kicks more ass.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Honestly, with guns like the G3 it helps to have a second, rapid fire weapon, which is why I fucking LOVE the Overkill perk.

I roll with the M14 as primary, but a lot of times you'll gun down several people only to have someone else come around the corner just as you're about to get caught reloading. This is where most people would die, but with Overkill, I just whip out my G36C or the P90 (I switch the two out depending on the map), and mow them down, go back to business. It really makes a big difference in stuff like Headquarters where being able to assure that EVERY ENEMY getting to the capture point gets mowed down. It only takes one person slipping by me in order to give them a capture.

How ya doing, buddy?
