  Has the MG42 been changed? - Page 5 - Day Of Defeat Forums
Yes, there is something wrong with the MG42, and I feel that the.30 Cal has lost a little of its potency.
Sorry, that qualifies as change, and also means that now the mg42 has the same effective rate of fire as the.30 cal, and overheats in 40 rounds now instead of the 80 it used to take, on top of that, those 40 rounds do a whole lot less damage.
And to anyone who thinks the mg42 is perfectly fine, go play in servers with it for and hour, two hours, however long it takes to get an honest feel for it.
