Most of these "X Expert reacts to Y" type of videos have a lot of people who have little to no video game experience, and its a gem to find a series where the expert talks about the mistakes and forgives them based on the developmental limitations. Props to the.. umm humility? of this guy when talking critiquing what's shown.
I LOVE just how much insight he has into the logic and history behind the development of counter strike, as well as his own personal history with the game.
I love how he knows about gaming and why some firearms look a certain way, because he knows the game, like the Cyberpunk video where he knew the game is a futuristic-retro 80s theme and he reviewed the guns basing his opinion on this knowledge, and same thing for many of his other guns reviews of other games. Not only he knows a lot about firearms but also the games he talk about which is really cool
Yes, because of this I don't mind his lack of 40k knowledge in the Necromunda Hired Guns vid. He's pretty much right any way without it. I just want to correct him that a stub gun is any gunpowder handgun & an autogun is anything we'd view as an assault rifle. Mostly. Edit: also I meant inform, not correct.
What makes me respect Johnathan other then his experience is that he is humble about his knowledge in areas he is not familiar with. He gives his opinion and ends with a correct me if I'm wrong or an I need to know more about this. It shows respect.
@@hell3quin864 pretty sure the distinction for Autoguns is that they are a teir above our current level of tech because they use caseless ammunition of some kind (im pretty sure i read somewhere that the AR looking Autoguns use 6.5mm ammunition)
It somehow carried its way into source and boy did I never notice it because I was raging after being sniped through big door trying to cross to b site for the 5th time that game
More than a decade ago, I almost broke a friend's airsoft AR15 trying to pull the FA. I actually broke off the thumb piece but was able to put it back. I was lucky he wasn't looking. Only borrowed his Glock 19 after that.
Yeah that only happens when you crouch. If don't crouch the sites are everywhere. Which since it has a bipod my head cannon is that if your crouched the bipod is working.
I remember when the Negev in the earlier days of csgo, had the most ear-deafening report, incredible recoil and a spread that was near-impossible to predict unless you're one of those savants of recoil and spread control. Good times.
6:15 The scenario you described did happen in Vietnam with a compromised US sniper who had the bad luck of running straight into a squad of enemy fighters. He was carrying an M1911 and a revolver (I don’t remember the caliber). He immediately drew both weapons and got to business. Would be weird firing 2 very different handguns in a situation like that.
"Walk?! Man, I've got some WHEELS! Yeah, I work every once in a while, occasionally, you know. I can't really hold down a job. People like me, it's really tough! You know, my dad owns a gun shop, you know, he doesn't like to admit it, but I think it makes him real nervous when I work there, because any time I get a gun in my hand, it just automatically points to somebody's head! Sometimes I think, maybe I wanna join the army, I mean its basically like FPS, except better graphics! But what happens if I get lag out there? I'm dead! I mean, I even heard there's no respawn points in RL. What do you do when you're a person like me? When you're born to play FPS? Guess there's nothing left to do but PLAY FPS!"
It is also funny how SSRS made weapon that was suppose to be somewhat military secret design is available pretty much everywhere in the world and still being used and updated...
Gotta love how he's poiting out the camouflaged color on the SCAR and how it's suggesting the competiteveness of the game. Good thing he doesn't know about neon-pink-glow-in-the-dark-graffiti-anime skins lmao
He was referring to real world there. For a long time guns were simply made out of steel and to protect the steel against corrosion, it was blued. Blueing made the guns black, which is not ideal color for a weapon in most cases as he said.

Damn, I remember those early maps when they first came out. I remember tinkering with the sounds and textures. My first intro to GIMP was because of that game. Also back then you could replace the models...I had homer Simpson's running around on my screen. Foot steps replaced with duck whacking sounds...I remember replacing the knife with a snickers bar too.
Changing the model of enemies to a solid bright colored stickman so you'll get more visibility and reaction time was my go to mod back then. It was like cheating.
lmao. I noticed that and when whenever I play comp match I be like why the fuck did the developer make the switch on "safe" mode considering that the gameplay is a fire-at-will situation.
My god.. he even takes into account the period of when the games were made. That consideration mixed with his passion and nostalgia when talking about his time on CS. This is good content.
This was so much better than I expected it to be! 15:15 not disagreeing with him there but I think the devs probably did this to keep the reload times consistent no matter at what point you reload. Makes it easier for players to get the timings down which are relatively important in a game like this.
And the fact that he understands balance in a game. Just mentioning the incorrect ways, with intention of bettering everything is so wholesome. I love it.
@@aidan-mx2fy You should really think again about your second statement. Counter Terrorism units do actually use attachments quite often. IR lasers are incredibly popular among the units, same with foregrips and also various kinds of sights and flashlights.
Did anyone else notice, the entire video he was smiling, and I couldn’t stop smiling after the part where he laughed. That got me so good, you can tell this guy loves what he does and loves videos games too. mad respect
I absolutely love the fact that he pulls out the real gun representation after almost every weapon in this video. I would love it if you guys did this for the rest of your videos as well. Seeing you hold the real life representation of the firearm in the game really makes the video better in my opinion.
A note about the P90. It came in different versions throughout the years of production. You can see in the earlier games that it was indeed depicted with the built in sights. The version used in Global Offensive is the more modern version with Magpul style iron sights and a Picatinny rail attached to the top. This variant of the P90 was first seen in Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare. This particular version is called P90 TR (TR stands for "Triple Rail")
Actually In Vietnam, the Army recommend use right hand to shot because it will avoid being hit by bullet shell pop out to your eye when shot right hand and reduce unsafe move when carry, reload and shot. Some of use cant fire right hand for manu reason (eye, left hand is more handy than right one, ect...). But somehow for us, use left hand is better because you can reload and ready for action better than use right hand like most people and it make u more cooler :)) I am sure that is how Minh Le "Goose" want
i have Minh's TM MP5 airsoft gun from back in the day like 20 years ago when we played airsoft in the same club. My friend Dirk bought it from him, then I bought it off Dirk because it's a piece of history as far as im concerned. I dont even play airsoft any more. Last I heard Minh works in Seattle for Valve and still has family in Vancouver and I still have him on Facebook so I should really get the Mp5 signed at some point lol. I was 16 when I met him when he was 25 or so, playing at Panther paintball in the airsoft club called OpFor and BCAC. Hope he's doing well, he's a good guy. Minh did all the coding, it was his baby that he worked on while going to college at SFU. His game. Cliffe is the guy who made the sprites and animations, and many of the maps. I beta tested Minh's second game, Tactical Intervention but on the original HL engine, then when the game released it was released on Source. It's not a very good game, but I think you can still get it on Steam. Dang, I dont see it. Oh well, youre not missing much.
Until he mentioned it I never thought about the reason for the speed change when you take the knife out was because of a weight change I always just figured that it would be more so along the lines of it being more clunky while holding a rifle/LMG/SMG due to it restricting your arm movement which would reduce your ability to run normally because as much as we don't really think about it how you move your arms does greatly affect your speed while running. Try running with your arms crossed and just see how much more awkward it feels. That being said I do think that it is really all just in the name of game mechanics because realistically there is no way you run the same speed with a AUG as a MP7 IRL.
What surprises me more than his knowledge of firearms is his surprisingly good knowledge of videogames. And he just spots every detail that there is, the fact that some of the 1.6 weapons are rounded off is a great example.
Now that I've seen the forward assist being pulled back 6 inches and let go to chamber a round on the AR-15, I can't unsee it. How did they screw that up? 😂
Left-handed people and their goofy brains.😏 That said, I actually like the "flapping dust cover" because it gives the firing a bit more "visceral" look than if it were static.
If I was animating M4 reloads for a shooter, I would have several separate animations, each using a different part of the weapon but never the actual charging handle to chamber a round
It's kind of mad how many games actually get the AR-15 pattern rifles reload animations so, very, very wrong. They're hardly a rare weapon and I imagine a lot of the developers making these games will even have one at home or know someone who does if they live in the US lol.
@@nocturnal8171 it happens, i knew someone where i hippo walked into his house from the backdoor as he was making lunch. luckily he got out of there unharmed
He’s come to our world and explained the guns you should let him do a tour of his day to day but post it on this channel. I’m aware of what is on his channel for the royal firearms museum before y’all comment it.
The first thing that flashed in to my head when seeing that this series was covering counterstrike was the way the M4 animation includes pulling the forward assist.
@@jharju2352 true, but the way (some of them) are designed using those real world guns as a basis is a very interesting bit of retrofuturism. The Allied assault rifle in Wolfenstein is shockingly bad, tho, thank goodness its barely in the game!
Killing Floor and Koilling Floor 2 get my vote, for sure. Some real world firearms, some modifications to existing and some "Well, that was unexpected!" options. I'd add another suggestion to your list though - go old school. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
@@paullittle835 They definitely have an almost steampunk-esque flair to them, the overall design bulks things up but also makes everything look powerful as hell.
I love how he’s so knowledgeable about gaming, and CS specifically, that he can throw out the logic and reasoning for game developers to have made certain changes. A lot of it is common sense, but you frequently get a lot of outrage when experts see misrepresented details.
Just a note, the old AKs in CS displayed the magazine going straight into the receiver, which they fixed with the correct rock and lock loading. Great content
Honestly would love to see him cover Metal Gear guns. He'd probably be satisfied with how much detail Kojima puts into the weapons and trigger discipline in cutscenes.
I was playing comp the other day, and I was the only one left. It was a 1 v 5, they all had aks or awps. I took down 3 of them, then was killed with an ak. Guess who got kicked.
@@goose8447 The Scout does have a few advantages on the AWP, the first being movement speed which allows for faster peeks and to scout the enemy,.pun intended and secondly faster rate of fire so people who are very good or cheating can hit the second target faster if they get a headshot on the first.
14:36 The Russian PKM does have that feature, the automatic dust cover is operated by a cam on the bolt-piston assembly and will open and close while cycling, which looks very cool, Ian McCallum has a slowmo firing video where you can see that
@@pauliusthemad3498 That is very stereotypical and untrue, that applies more to US copies of Russian guns than actual Russian guns funnily enough And yes it's a feature out of simplicity, the dust cover opens not only when a shell is ejected but also during the chambering process, the actuation is carried out by a stud on the piston, so it lifts the cover even when not necessary
@@rippedpixel It's basically an upside-down AK if you squint your eyes at one for a bit, I love the PKM too, don't know if I'd flat out call a gun the best in its class personally though
I would absolutely love to see him take a look at squad, maybe the insurgents armory in particular, as it features several outdated weapons and great variety and custom weapons/vehicles.
Nostalgia hits hard here... that part where ya yank out the foward assist still funny to me... like back then I always think what the heck does that bar do when you literally yank out the foward assist to reload... but overall great video... thanks you very much to Jonathan... stay safe and have a good day, Everyone... Ps: Pls do guns from the S.T.A.L.K.E.R Trilogy please...
I mean it kinda makes sense for example if u hold a fire arm then its gonna slow u down but if u holster it u will go faster due to the weight distribution being more towards ur center of gravity. Tl:dr Holding the gun slow Holstering or putting it on ur back fast
9:00 i always assumed the increased movement speed wasn’t due to weight loss, but was more ease of use. It’s easier to run with something heavy strapped to your back than it is in your arms, so lighter/smaller guns let you run better.
Straps aren't for carrying guns on your back. You would run way slower if you had a heavy lmg swinging around behind you or in front of you. Better to hold it and keep it steady than have it unbalance you
@@raulinhomaster I was more thinking how it's shown in some other games, where they manage to secure it to a bag or tie it tautly on your back than a big swingin LMG
I gotta say, the fact the we actually see what the character is doing in the dual-wield reload animation is a very nice touch. Games like COD and Halo would just hide the guns away while you reload so they don't have to figure out how it would be done 😂
Yea, seems the writers are starting to fall into a trap of picking only popular/easily recognized guns and then throwing in one or two weird/wacky ones as an afterthought; they include the AK/M4 in every single video, but they didnt talk about the Krieg 556 or the CSS CT autosniper, or the G3SG1 (G3 is an iconic weapon of the cold war ffs), or the CZ/Tec-9
13:50 I always called that the "jam enhancer" because I have rarely ever heard of it help solve a jam, but I've heard a ton of stories about the forward assist causing a jam to become worse.
I like it when there's a firearms expert, who doesn't look as if he spends more time in the gym than with firearms or researching them, who doesn't try to appear more masculine than a silverback gorilla, but who is just an ordinary guy, who does know a whole shitload about firearms. That's why I love this guy's vids.
Straying away from the modern again, Johnathan should check out the Titanfall/Apex and Halo series. Be cool to see his opinion on the weapons on those games
i agree for this! Titanfall and Apex have really thought out and wacky weapons, like energy actuated machine guns(Devotion) , Double barreled SMGs (Alternator), electromagnetic snipers (Sentinel) and Bullpup AK47s (Flatline)

I'm sorry, but the fact that this man has a "Ghost" shirt only raises my respect for him.
I realized that as well, what a man
This was so much better than I expected it to be!
15:15 not disagreeing with him there but I think the devs probably did this to keep the reload times consistent no matter at what point you reload. Makes it easier for players to get the timings down which are relatively important in a game like this.
This is Jonathan Ferguson, he gives me something to look forward to every week.
I see the 1.6 clips were from a Romanian server. Makes sense since we're the only country that still plays 1.6 religiously.
Don't forget the rest of the Balkans (bulgarian here)

Who needs Jesus when you have an AWP?
Huh, helped to know.
how would i get 1.6 nowadays? i got CS:S
Literally never knew about the Steyr Scout having a built-in bipod. Have there been any games that actually depicted or made use of that?
As far as I know, I think Horseshoes, Hot Dogs and Hand Grenades does.
You should watch forgotten weapons
I believe battlefield 4 has the bipod, however I could be wrong.
Battlefield 4 had a bipod for the Scout. Not a good looking one, but one nevertheless.
@@dillonc7955 Is it like the actual bipod from the gun or an attachment?
This guy deserves a channel on his own. Not only is his videos top graded A-tier, the Ghost t-shirt convinced me of that.
So glad this guys knows video games as well it makes the whole thing so much more well rounded and enjoyable
And the fact that he understands balance in a game. Just mentioning the incorrect ways, with intention of bettering everything is so wholesome. I love it.
right, they found the perfect guy
He's still wearing the Ghost shirt!
Probably filmed 4 or 5 videos the same day.

Yeah! I would like to see this guy (Jonathan Ferguson) will analyzing the weapons from Rainbow Six: Siege

@@timetellersunion3711 bullets don't drop fast enough for them to bother adding it and attachments aren't used by counter terrorists IRL.

@@aidan-mx2fy CTUs dont use foregrips and sights? Or lasers and flashlights?
@@aidan-mx2fy You should really think again about your second statement. Counter Terrorism units do actually use attachments quite often. IR lasers are incredibly popular among the units, same with foregrips and also various kinds of sights and flashlights.
Did anyone else notice, the entire video he was smiling, and I couldn’t stop smiling after the part where he laughed. That got me so good, you can tell this guy loves what he does and loves videos games too. mad respect
I absolutely love the fact that he pulls out the real gun representation after almost every weapon in this video. I would love it if you guys did this for the rest of your videos as well. Seeing you hold the real life representation of the firearm in the game really makes the video better in my opinion.

A note about the P90.
It came in different versions throughout the years of production. You can see in the earlier games that it was indeed depicted with the built in sights. The version used in Global Offensive is the more modern version with Magpul style iron sights and a Picatinny rail attached to the top. This variant of the P90 was first seen in Call of Duty 4 - Modern Warfare.
This particular version is called P90 TR (TR stands for "Triple Rail")

@@filipeamaral216 does he knows me?
Actually In Vietnam, the Army recommend use right hand to shot because it will avoid being hit by bullet shell pop out to your eye when shot right hand and reduce unsafe move when carry, reload and shot. Some of use cant fire right hand for manu reason (eye, left hand is more handy than right one, ect...). But somehow for us, use left hand is better because you can reload and ready for action better than use right hand like most people and it make u more cooler :)) I am sure that is how Minh Le "Goose" want
Which one??? There's two
i have Minh's TM MP5 airsoft gun from back in the day like 20 years ago when we played airsoft in the same club. My friend Dirk bought it from him, then I bought it off Dirk because it's a piece of history as far as im concerned. I dont even play airsoft any more. Last I heard Minh works in Seattle for Valve and still has family in Vancouver and I still have him on Facebook so I should really get the Mp5 signed at some point lol. I was 16 when I met him when he was 25 or so, playing at Panther paintball in the airsoft club called OpFor and BCAC. Hope he's doing well, he's a good guy.
Minh did all the coding, it was his baby that he worked on while going to college at SFU. His game. Cliffe is the guy who made the sprites and animations, and many of the maps. I beta tested Minh's second game, Tactical Intervention but on the original HL engine, then when the game released it was released on Source. It's not a very good game, but I think you can still get it on Steam. Dang, I dont see it. Oh well, youre not missing much.

Until he mentioned it I never thought about the reason for the speed change when you take the knife out was because of a weight change I always just figured that it would be more so along the lines of it being more clunky while holding a rifle/LMG/SMG due to it restricting your arm movement which would reduce your ability to run normally because as much as we don't really think about it how you move your arms does greatly affect your speed while running. Try running with your arms crossed and just see how much more awkward it feels. That being said I do think that it is really all just in the name of game mechanics because realistically there is no way you run the same speed with a AUG as a MP7 IRL.
I'm an M4 enthusiast, usually go M4s in FPS games and shot a few M4s irl, and seeing that old reload made me almost have an aneurism
it makes me unreasonably angry. hgnngngnngng..
What surprises me more than his knowledge of firearms is his surprisingly good knowledge of videogames.
And he just spots every detail that there is, the fact that some of the 1.6 weapons are rounded off is a great example.
His wholesome reaction to him and his library getting sprayed on the wall is well-respected.
Now that I've seen the forward assist being pulled back 6 inches and let go to chamber a round on the AR-15, I can't unsee it. How did they screw that up? 😂
Left-handed people and their goofy brains.😏
That said, I actually like the "flapping dust cover" because it gives the firing a bit more "visceral" look than if it were static.
There is actually a game banana mod for cs 1.6 that fixes the gun weirdness and some model problems, also makes the dropped weapons high quallity.
@@flameuptheherbwoofdownthebeer Link?
If I was animating M4 reloads for a shooter, I would have several separate animations, each using a different part of the weapon but never the actual charging handle to chamber a round
It's kind of mad how many games actually get the AR-15 pattern rifles reload animations so, very, very wrong. They're hardly a rare weapon and I imagine a lot of the developers making these games will even have one at home or know someone who does if they live in the US lol.
He should check out the guns from the game “Rust”, especially the handmade weapons.
Pretty interesting idea to be honest. There wouldn't be much to talk about the handmade weapons but the normal weapons would be interesting
The handmade metro weapons are much more interesting
ive always wanted to know what the custom smg is irl. whether its a really fast grease gun, or a really distorted mp40, i dont even know

The designers appear to not have the slightest idea of how a shotgun works, but in their defense it ended up producing a really neat gameplay feature
I think the "double barrel" SPAS has already come up in this series. Can't remember which episode.

@@celebalert5616 yes
Red Orchestra 2 and Rising Storm yessssssssssss!
The first thing that flashed in to my head when seeing that this series was covering counterstrike was the way the M4 animation includes pulling the forward assist.
Can we get on the guns in Crysis, Killing Floor, or Wolfenstein the new colossus/new order
The newer Wolfenstein games have mostly fictional weapon designs based on some WW2-era firearms such as the Stg-44, P-08 and the Thompson SMG.
@@jharju2352 true, but the way (some of them) are designed using those real world guns as a basis is a very interesting bit of retrofuturism.
The Allied assault rifle in Wolfenstein is shockingly bad, tho, thank goodness its barely in the game!
Killing Floor and Koilling Floor 2 get my vote, for sure. Some real world firearms, some modifications to existing and some "Well, that was unexpected!" options.
I'd add another suggestion to your list though - go old school. Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory.
oh man, KF2 would me amazing!
@@paullittle835 They definitely have an almost steampunk-esque flair to them, the overall design bulks things up but also makes everything look powerful as hell.
I love how he’s so knowledgeable about gaming, and CS specifically, that he can throw out the logic and reasoning for game developers to have made certain changes. A lot of it is common sense, but you frequently get a lot of outrage when experts see misrepresented details.
Just a note, the old AKs in CS displayed the magazine going straight into the receiver, which they fixed with the correct rock and lock loading. Great content
Honestly would love to see him cover Metal Gear guns. He'd probably be satisfied with how much detail Kojima puts into the weapons and trigger discipline in cutscenes.
"I didn't remember this being in the game": oh, come on, the Scout is the competent sniper's AWP.
I was playing comp the other day, and I was the only one left. It was a 1 v 5, they all had aks or awps. I took down 3 of them, then was killed with an ak. Guess who got kicked.
Real men use the Scout.
More like the mediocre's awp, if they were actually competent they'd rack up kills enough to afford the big green"
@@goose8447 The Scout does have a few advantages on the AWP, the first being movement speed which allows for faster peeks and to scout the enemy,.pun intended and secondly faster rate of fire so people who are very good or cheating can hit the second target faster if they get a headshot on the first.
@@chrise5011 And it's a heck of a lot cheaper
6:52 I didn't know he was that popular
14:36
The Russian PKM does have that feature, the automatic dust cover is operated by a cam on the bolt-piston assembly and will open and close while cycling, which looks very cool, Ian McCallum has a slowmo firing video where you can see that
Is that really a feature and not just you know....fact russian guns are assembled rather baddly and lose in many parts?
@@pauliusthemad3498
That is very stereotypical and untrue, that applies more to US copies of Russian guns than actual Russian guns funnily enough
And yes it's a feature out of simplicity, the dust cover opens not only when a shell is ejected but also during the chambering process, the actuation is carried out by a stud on the piston, so it lifts the cover even when not necessary
I’d do terrible things for a PKM. Best machine gun ever made
@@rippedpixel
It's basically an upside-down AK if you squint your eyes at one for a bit, I love the PKM too, don't know if I'd flat out call a gun the best in its class personally though

"Everyone knows you run faster with a knife" -FPS Doug
It's why you bring a knife to track meets.
I mean it kinda makes sense for example if u hold a fire arm then its gonna slow u down but if u holster it u will go faster due to the weight distribution being more towards ur center of gravity.
Tl:dr
Holding the gun slow
Holstering or putting it on ur back fast
9:00 i always assumed the increased movement speed wasn’t due to weight loss, but was more ease of use. It’s easier to run with something heavy strapped to your back than it is in your arms, so lighter/smaller guns let you run better.
Let's go with that :)
Absolutely correct, i described it in my comment: we physically can't run at maximum speed with occupied hands.
Straps aren't for carrying guns on your back. You would run way slower if you had a heavy lmg swinging around behind you or in front of you. Better to hold it and keep it steady than have it unbalance you
@@raulinhomaster I was more thinking how it's shown in some other games, where they manage to secure it to a bag or tie it tautly on your back than a big swingin LMG
I gotta say, the fact the we actually see what the character is doing in the dual-wield reload animation is a very nice touch. Games like COD and Halo would just hide the guns away while you reload so they don't have to figure out how it would be done 😂
They used to
Oh no, cod now embraces their reloads more than ever, showing every small bit of a reload.
Well when holding 2 firearms a very popular way is holstering them and placing both magazines in
damn I was really hoping to see him react to the CZ 75 auto
Yea, seems the writers are starting to fall into a trap of picking only popular/easily recognized guns and then throwing in one or two weird/wacky ones as an afterthought; they include the AK/M4 in every single video, but they didnt talk about the Krieg 556 or the CSS CT autosniper, or the G3SG1 (G3 is an iconic weapon of the cold war ffs), or the CZ/Tec-9

I always called that the "jam enhancer" because I have rarely ever heard of it help solve a jam, but I've heard a ton of stories about the forward assist causing a jam to become worse.
I've used it for its intended purpose a few times.
I'm still hoping to see the Titanfall series at nome point....
Same
I just love how you can see the nostalgia creep back into him as he's watching the clips
Love the Ghost shirt, representing a wonderful band
I like it when there's a firearms expert, who doesn't look as if he spends more time in the gym than with firearms or researching them, who doesn't try to appear more masculine than a silverback gorilla, but who is just an ordinary guy, who does know a whole shitload about firearms. That's why I love this guy's vids.
I don’t really care what they look like as long as they know what they are talking about
Amen, brothers.
That's most gun owners lol
I didn’t know that cool detail about left handed in CS. That’s really cool.
Too bad they didn't write the input cl_righthand 0 in console before filming, then the character would've been left handed and used the correct model.
I never noticed how CS:S has the M4 pull on the forward assist, and now that he pointed it out I can never unsee it.

Straying away from the modern again, Johnathan should check out the Titanfall/Apex and Halo series. Be cool to see his opinion on the weapons on those games
i agree for this! Titanfall and Apex have really thought out and wacky weapons, like energy actuated machine guns(Devotion) , Double barreled SMGs (Alternator), electromagnetic snipers (Sentinel) and Bullpup AK47s (Flatline)
