Underslung weaponry:M320

um M320? or M203? i actually have no idea if they meant that or not...

 

[Hubert]

M320s are real 40mm underslung noobtoobs. I can't remember if they're made by H&K or someone else.

More modern. I have no idea if the plan to replace all US M203s with M320s is still going ahead, I remember it ran into some difficulty when someone realised just how expensive it would be to replace 100's of thousand M203s...

 

[M_P]

You've never heard of the m320?

Yeah its make by h&k, its on mw3 too I think

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Straight pull bolt? What's one of those when its at home?

And quick reloads? They'd better not be killing the realism with retarded "slight of hand" type crap.

 

[M_P]

Both are just to speed up reload times I guess.

A straight pull bolt just means you don't have to rotate it

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

It's not that far away now.

I heard a while ago that there's an open Beta due out on consoles around the release time of Gears of War 3. So that's about 3 or so weeks away.

 

[Liam Porter]

Looks like I'm paying full price for this game as it's not on Steam for cheaper

The beta is out next week i think but from what i have played of the alpha WOOOOW...

Do you know how you get access to the Beta?

Alpha testers get early access so it might just be you that can get it next week.

You lucky arse >:-(

 

[TPI]

Yea i think it id an open beta after the medal of honor guys get in for a week so yea give it three weeks actually

 

[masadanator]

Do you know how you get access to the Beta?

if you have limeted editon medal of honor (like me ) then you get a 3 day beta trail already done it best game ever ive pre-ordered it

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

I think it's an open beta and my guess would be that it'll just appear on the Market place/PSN Store/Internet and be available to everyone.

I don't expect it to be out until after the 20th though.

Win

 

[SheriffHD]

well just went and pre-ordered this game.

and yeah the M320 is a HK underslung GL, although i rather M203's as i dont like the addition pistol grip.

and a stright pull riffle normally reffers to a AR thats been modded to that there is a bolt that extrudes from the gun and the gas parts have been removed. turning your everyday m4 into a more accurate single fire weapon (when the bolt stays closed ie no ejected after the gun fires) no gas escapes out the breach pushing the bullet further.

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Anyone have any news on the beta yet? I'd have thought it'd be out this week, otherwise it's getting a bit close to the release date for the feedback to really be acted upon.

I've not heard anything yet. I kinda expected the scroller on BFBC2's main screen to have posted some info by now.

 

[TPI]

Unfortunately i dont think an open beta will go ahead but im hearing talk of their not even being a closed beta either WORRIED:-C

 

[Airsoft-Ed]

Yeah, I'd like to actually play it...

But at least Gears 3 and my new Uni course won't be neglected quite so much if there's no beta lol.

 

[TPI]

Well ill post on here if the beta is on and what its overall status is

 

[Liam Porter]

And a link if it's open to all!

 

[TPI]
