Not to steer into gun talk too much here but the magazine release is on the right side, and you need to push it to release the magazine. You're probably referring to the bolt catch and you absolutely have to press that once the last round in the chamber has been fired. Otherwise your bolt just stays back once you put a new magazine in. Only time you don't need to press that is when the bolt is already closed and there's no bullet in the chamber. In that case you have to pull the charging handle.
>.> sorry for gun rant.
Anyone hear/feel anything about multiplayer, is it even remotely good?
yeah i know, i kind of thought about that a couple minutes after posting... still though, when the guy is running around with a p90 thats been in all 3 games, sometimes its a little difficult to tell... the sound effects are all still the same.
I think he's talking about the Forward Assist Plunger, guys. Not the magazine release and not the bolt catch. The bolt catch doesn't look like a button anyways. If I understand correctly, the forward assist is supposed to make sure the bolt is seated properly.
The forward assist is on the right side of the firearm, as the picture shows. It was added before Vietnam because sometimes rounds don't fully lock into battery after the charging handle is released. This means the gun will not fire. Most units are instructed to hit the forward assist only when the gun is malfunctioning. Its really kind of useless.
Is anyone else having problems with the PC version of the game? Mine is just crashing as soon as i launch the game and im starting to get really pissed.
I'm running a cracked version and it works great. Of course, I can't play online, though. I expect that to change in the future, but why waste my time with it when there's BF3 to be played?:D
Another of my friends has a legit Steam copy. I just tried it out of curiosity. The dedi servers (which are unranked only btw) are extremely unstable and I couldn't stay on one for more than 2 minutes without getting a timeout. The P2P ranked matches are more stable, but I can definitely feel the lag and rubberbanding, plus there's no custom rules to ban the overpowered shit.
You're not missing out if you can't play this game online. If you really must play MW3 multiplayer, do split screen on a console.
