15 kills, 0 movement. I pretty much single handedly put up a massive stop sign for the defenders trying to push up that road to try let my team attack the MCOMs, YOU SHALL NOT PASS. I knew I was dead when the RPGs and pro pipes started flying my way and I constantly had 2 laser sights on me at least and yet it was not until you lobbed a nade over that I was finally finished off. It was even worse in a game of Damavand rush earlier where I nailed well over 10 kills without releasing the trigger whilst defending an MCOM down the cliff.
The M60 is utter hilarity though, entertainment value 10/10 and on infantry based maps incredibly effective to. It's slow rate of fire means you can keep a constant death stream going for longer, and full auto is surprisingly stable even without a bipod if crouched and stationary but the bipod is the way to go.
I'm with you. I recently discovered the joy that is the M60 and already have my 500 kills with it. Pull the trigger and watch the kill feed roll. My favorite places to activate 'doom mode'... (Rush games, btw)
1) As a defender in Rush on Op. Metro, just after losing the first two Mcoms in the park run into the small narrow tunnel and lay down between the two openings that lead down below. This will help you survive grenades and rpgs that come from below when people start hating getting killed by you. Lie on the pipe and bipod up and nail them as they drop into the opening of the tunnel. For extra fun, C4 just inside the opening and detonate it if you start taking fire when you are caught reloading.
2) Defending on Seine crossing, first set of Mcoms, go right to B and hop onto the steel crate, box thing right next to the Mcom. Nail them as they try to come in the doorway. It's even better when you claymore the two doors behind you.
3) Still on Seine crossing, if you lose the first set of Mcoms, run into the building that looks down at the bridge and A and set up on the 3rd floor with a bipod on the windowsill. You can't actually see the Mcom but you'll get everyone going to it or trying to hide in the crate after they set it. I took out 15 guys here once before they Lav'd me out of there. As its a multistory building you can retreat to the second floor if the third floors starts getting too dangerous.
or...
If you're alive after losing the first two Mcoms retreat to the street before the bridges and beside the white van set your bipod up on the garbage can. They can't advance to the Mcoms without passing through your sights. Expect to see lots of RPGs and grenades after a while.
4) Attacking or defending on Damavand on the third set of Mcoms. Defend/attack B(? the one in the warehouse) by lying opposite the half open door on the side of the the warehouse protected by cement on one side and kind of hidden on the other by some grass and a steel pole. Bipod up and stare at the Mcom. People trying to arm/disarm it are yours. Singlehandedly wiped out an entire team that was trying desperately to disarm it.
5) Attacking on Seine crossing. If you can get through into the door leading to B run up the stairs to the second floor, claymore the stairs behind you, and set up on the windowsill looking down onto the A Mcom. Enemies going to disarm that Mcom are dead meat and anyone spawning and trying to enter the action from the side are right in your line of sight.
I never used support for the longest time because I didn't like the recoil on those guns. Now that I know where to put them and what they can do, I am having some great games. Best one so far 25-3 with an 18 kill streak.
