Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45 has portable, deployable machine guns, including the MG 42, it's a beast and can make life really hard for the players on the Russian team if they don't have a sniper or tank support to counter it with.

(It's from the UT2004 mod that preceded the game, but the MG 42 is implemented in almost exactly the same way in both)

The shotgun question was mostly refering to Call of Duty 2, since the shotgun is only availibe in multiplayer and has poor ROF, though it has huge damage. I've seen 2 peolpe go down from 1 shot in multiplayer. 2 more gripes related to Battlefield 2: 1. Why does my M249 overheat after firing 40 rounds? Why is it so inacurate? 2. Can EA ever get pistol reload animations right?

At least in MW2, you get a bunch of shotguns
