Yep, the guns of CoD2! From what I've seen, we have the basic WWII-era gamut of small arms to work with. If memory serves, we have

- base of fire (Bren, BAR and StG44 -- although the StG44 was historically meant to be a true assault rifle, in this game it seems to be presented as a balance to the Bren and the BAR)

- scoped precision (Kar98k, 91/30, and M1903-A3)

- .30 caliber bolt-action (No. 4, M1903, Kar98k, 91/30)

- .30 caliber semi-automatic (M1 Garand (aren't the SVT40 and G43 also available in multiplayer?))

- .30 caliber lightweight semi-automatic (they threw in the M1 Carbine)

- submachine guns (Thompson M1A1, M3 "Grease Gun," Sten, PPSh-41, MP40)


We don't have portable belt-fed machineguns, so we have to leave those out. Knowing that, how do ya'll envision a multi-fireteam squad distributing these weapons effectively within the context of the game?

Good talk.

To emulate a team structure like that of America's Army, what if we had:

Squad Leader (Rifleman or Submachinegunner?)

Fireteam A Leader (Rifleman or Submachinegunner?)
Fireteam A Member (Rifleman)
Fireteam A Member (Automatic Rifleman)

Fireteam B Leader (Rifleman or Submachinegunner?)
Fireteam B Member (Rifleman)
Fireteam B Member (Automatic Rifleman)

Fireteam C Leader (Designated Marksman)
Fireteam C Member (Designated Marksman?)



I guess this also begs the question of how many of each type of weapon are currently allowed per team in a map with WRM. How many of each type below does a team get?

- Scoped Rifles
- Bolt-action Rifles
- Semi-automatic Rifles
- Submachine Guns
- Carbines
- Automatic Rifles
