Watch GameSpot Video: GameSpot - How Games Get LMGs Wrong - Loadout.
From Call of Duty and Battlefield, to Rambo and Commando, the machine gun has long been an iconic entry to the most blockbuster action movie, and an essential part of any video game arsenal for decades. But as games have advanced, the LMG can sometimes feel like it’s been left behind. So what is the virtual legacy of the LMG, and why does it so often feel more like a souped up assault rifle, than a belt-fed banger?
In this episode of Loadout, Dave Jewitt visits the Royal Armouries to talk to Keeper of Firearms & Artillery Jonathan Ferguson to break down the origins and impact of the Light Machine Gun, and find out why games keep getting the LMG so wrong.

GamingBolt - EVERYTHING WRONG With Redfall
Added 63 Views / 0 LikesRedfall feels like Arkane's Anthem moment. Here's a studio that has made a name of itself as one of the best developers in a specific genre, but has, for some reason, decided to veer completely off track to chase a few trends. Arkane's new open world looter shooter loses so much of what the developer's best games have always been known for, an issue that is exacerbated by the fact that the new things it does attempt, it doesn't really succeed at.
