Yeah, it was always nice as a longer range support rifle- like a bullpup M27 IAR- but it's magazine capacity (even with the extended magazines attachment) is inferior to all the belt fed MGs. The best in that class tended to be the M249, the M240 and my personal favourite the Type 88 LMG.
I know it late lol, but I really like the look of it! I have bf4 standard but dont want that premium after the reviews were so mixed. Are there many games available on bf3?
There is still life left in PS3 but alas is all down to software companies in the end. Example Rabbids Invasion - made for XBone, PS4, 360 but not released on PS3 so could be the start of the end and the others all charge for online play
