Is it also his first time playing CoD at all? Going between CoD games, there's little lost in translation, so I understand his hardships from Source to CoD. I'm terrible at DoD:S, but respectable in CoD 2.
I'm having an issue with DoD:S where my mg42/.50 cal do not deploy correctly. Whenever I try to set up the bipod on sandbags/window ledge/floor for some reason, it begins to deploy but instantly my view snaps around in some arbitrary location, but the same location if as long as keep trying to deploy in that spot. Most of the time, it doesn't depoly either! The progress bar goes, but it cancels itself out.
Happened on two different computers so far, even with default controls. So confused...
