Why did HK never make a civilian version? It probably would have been very successful because it was in pretty much every video game from 2008-2012

how could I ever forget it?

>>65200408
why make a gun that will take an entire production line just so an handfull of americans will buy it ? the sole reason why there's a civilian G36 is because the german army and a few others have it so plenty of civilians want it too.
nobody wanted the G36 except one country in SEA that banned gun ownership, a bunch of gamers and movie enthusiasts purchasing it won't make enough money to warranty an entire production of it.

>>65200428

i mean XM8

The XM8 is just a G36 in a different shell. Making civilian XM8s would be less effort than making the SL8, which required a redesigned single stack magwell due to the assault weapons ban. Plus, HK clearly isn’t hurt by selling ludicrously expensive civilian weapons, as evidenced by them selling civvie PSG1s in the 80s and them continuing to sell civvie 416s now even though nobody buys them

>>65200446
Bad Company 1? That's one of the last times I ever remember truly being blown away by a game's physics engine, we've just been losing features ever since.

>>65200451
It's not that they couldn't, it's that they don't care. They'll do it if they feel like it, and won't if they don't. They seem to be one of the few that have enough military contracts that they can get away with it. The one company that probably truly doesn't give a fuck about their civilian whales and just sells them overpriced shit to laugh at them.

>>65200456
I prefer BC2.
BF3 is still my favorite. Hotswap from BF2 was great, but I can see why they eliminated it from campaign.
Only game that comes close for me is Delta Force:BHD on PC.

I remember being blown away with immersion during the first battle you get into in some tiny 2-3 house village in BC1. From the sounds of the gunfire to blowing a hole in a wall to get into cover to the echos of my HK416 when I was shooting indoors. Everything after that I just feel has been going downhill.

It was the worst of the series but still decent. I did never play Denied Ops though and apparently that was even worse.
Vietnam was tits. Both Desert Storms were great. The first game was more technical and difficult than SOCOM at various points.

>>65200485
I think game development has stagnated because they realized the initial profits are there no matter what they do.
Graphics are better, but not mind-bendingly so.
Solo campaigns are basically dead.
Innovation is dead.
They just try to appeal to a target audience with a rehash and rebranding of the last offering that made money, with tiny improvments. And push it out flawed, so paying preorder players are basically their testers. Then do critical updates for flaws and make you pay for the DLC that should have been included in the game.

>>65200451
80s HK was a different animal and the PSGs were made in Germany before 922r requirements and other issues.
The 416s are made domestically for the most part due to the US requiring domestic manufacture for DoD purposes. It's why they're here as is and why they're easy to get. To make a proper G36 or XM8 they'd have to either setup a chain to export it in gimped form and then remake it similar to how the Scar17 comes into the US, pic related, or setup actual production here. The G36 is at this point, a legacy product with no future.
While I hate HK for being cucks and find a lot of their official excuses weak, the XM8 would be a dogshit product to bring over for a lot of reasons. Only thing they can do legally and make financial sense at this point is export parts

>>65200557
You have decent points but the could ship actions over and then install them in US made receivers.
The could even do metal or poly clamshell depending on what the market asks for.
If your "receiver" is made in the US import/export becomes much easier, at least on the US side.
They wouldn't even need dies made until they say sustained demand, you could do additive manufacturing for both poly and metal for an initial run of ~1000 each, still see a profit and use that to fund die making.

Damn that was impressive at the time even tough my pc was so shit that i only could play it on the lowest settings

>>65200476
That's a zoomer take if I ever saw one.
Bad Company 2 is the most enjoyable and memorable game in the series by a large margin. Rush on Arica harbour with the homies was the shit.

>>65200391
I'll always remember it because Bad company was the first fps game I owned

>>65200465
I used to prefer BC2 to BF3 but, BC2 has some cheesy exploits that experienced players could pull on you which BF3 didn't have

Major studios lost their souls once big investors realized how much potential for profit was in the industry. You make a movie, people pay to see it - then what? You sell toys and fast food tie ins?
You can do that with a game, but keep selling tiny additions to it without having to make a full blown sequel and use that to fund the sequel.
The one good thing is that digital marketplaces make it much easier for small and indie games to get purchased.

A1 here old Delta Force player… I mean the 1990s voxel one.. I even bought a p233mmx to be able to play. 32 people multiplayer was so rad. Lobbing grenades from the m16 launcher as improv mortar..

>>65204105
That would be amazing, but my biggest gripe with S5 Tactical is their association with GSG9 and Todd Bailey.
I really want a proper G36 and XM8 for the US market that everyone can enjoy, but I'm afraid many will suffer as they usually do under Todd's influence.

>>65205627
okay that's cool and all but the real chads were out playing other novalogic games

So what's the story about Todd Bailey and Tom Bostic? I've only heard bits and pieces.

From what I can gather/remember, Todd Bailey owns GSG9 and would sell the G36/UMP parts to Tom who would handfit, package, and sell complete guns from his website, right? But I remember hearing something about Todd trying to steal Tom's designs and manipulate him by threatening to cut his supply of parts? There was also some of that drama going on with the MP7 clone, wasn't there? S5 is now selling GSG9 made guns, but what happened to UO Arms? Weren't they supposed to do G36s as well? I'm guessing dealings with Tom and Todd went sour, Tom wanted to wash his hands of it and sold everything to UO Arms, and GSG9 is now working with S5 Tactical and they're potentially competing against each other?

I have several Tommybuilt guns including one of his XM8s, but I've been totally out of the loop on all of this for the past couple years.

>>65205924
You can get the whole story on HKPro by searching GSG9 or Todd.

This is a pretty informative thread:

Maybe one day S5 will make an XM8. The real issue would be sourcing parts.

It's got a very late 90s early 00s rounded plastic "blobject" aesthetic. In term of operation how close was it to the G36? Because on the surface it seems like an attempt to pass off old goods as new.

>>65205924
