I assumed that putting the thumb over the Constitution’s ejection port was for the sake of not losing a live round when you top off, but I think I prefer Jonathan’s idea that it’s just poorly designed.

"Dare I say the american nature of the game" Oh Johnathan, dare all you wish. Some of the one liners and other satirical quotes from HD2 have been damn near word for word been repeated in all seriousness by some muricans

A fun thing to note about the Variable, if you run your magazine down to 21 rounds or less, you can fire on full volley and not take any damage or fall over.

Would love to see Jonathan react to Insurgency (2014). It was the first game I ever played where the devs clearly made an effort to try and make the weapons realistic.

Great vid with a lot of the new stuff. Bit sad you didn’t ask him about the playground orbital gun.
