Light Machine Gun (LMG) Comparisons

Bad Company 2 has many weapons that are similar in performance in the game. Of the more desirable guns. we will compare those that are a close match.
Let’s start with the big boys of the LMG group the M60 and the T88. The M60 leads in damage by a small amount. The M60 leads the T88 in accuracy by a significant margin. However, the T88 has the lead in rate of fire, although a small one. I believe this is a case of "fast in fine but accuracy is final."

M60 Versus  T88 Machine Guns

A sub-class of the LMG group are the smaller light machine guns derived from standard carry weapons. The top two in this group  are the MG36 and the XM8. This comparison is very close, they are a virtual tie in damage and rate of fire. The MG36 has a small advantage in accuracy over the XM8. I suspect this is due to the built in red dot scope on the MG36.

Shadow Warrior 2 Takes Me Back 1992 - Wolfenstein 3D, first 'almost' 3D game environment. 1993 - DOOM takes PC gamers by storm! 1996 - Quake takes multiplayer seriously as a main game mode in the 3D First Person Shooter (FPS) game. 1997 - The original Shadow Warrior comes out.  I remember them all. Played them all. See I have been gaming since the, get this, IBM PC jr came along. For all the silly name, it wasn't a bad machine for the time. Back then all games were things like King's Quest, Need For Speed, and such. Later, as hardware permitted, flying games came along like ACES of Europe, ACES of the Pacific. All that time I was wishing hard for what later became known as the FPS game. So, when Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, and Duke Nukem 3D came along I was ecstatic. In the Shadow Warrior reboots of Shadow Warrior and Shadow Warrior 2 you find that late 90's style of FPS play. No strategy, not even much in the way of tactics like a modern military ...

A  Free-Play  Fur-Ball! Mass charges of over a dozen Unidad troops at a time. Little Bird gun ships,  Blackhawk Gatling gun and rocket pod choppers. Cobra attack helicopters shot down so close they crush an allied rebel and nearly pin me to the tower with the nose.    What started out as an aerial raid on Koani Airfield quickly became a Tier 39, Unidad patrol level 4 - fur ball. A Gatling gun equipped Blackhawk helicopter flies down the throat of Koani Airfield's three SAM sites and runway. Flying low to avoid a SAM launch, and raking the airfield with Gatling gun fire. Forcing Santa Blanca to responds with two armed Blackhawks. A ground infiltration follows, initiated by two ~400m shots. One a head shot. A brutal take  down on a guard gets me in. Then I flub a shot which starts the fur ball. With the help of rebel allies, the four man team takes over the furthest tower. Defending it against all comers. Unidad ground troops attack in wave ...
