M2 Browning in real life
The M2 Browning is a American heavy machine gun designed in 1918 by John Browning. It has been the primary heavy machine gun of the United States Armed Forces since World War I and is still in service in Iraq and Afghanistan. It continues to be used by its customers due to its reliability and because of the .50 BMG cartridge the weapon uses. It can literally amputate and explode limbs once Its .50 BMG catridge is in contact with enemy fighters because of the cartridge's incredible size.
Battlefield 1942
In Battlefield 1942 the M2 Browning is the primary heavy machine gun for the Western Allies: the US, UK, Canada and the Free French Forces. It is mounted on the M4 Sherman and M3 Half-Track on cupola mounts as well as on the turrets on the B-17 and SBD Dauntless rear facing ring mount.

Battlefield Vietnam
In Battlefield Vietnam's WWII mod, the Browning is the USMC's heavy machine gun. It can be founded in the same places as they appeared in Battlefield 1942: mounted in defensive positions and on vehicles. It is mounted on the M4 Sherman, the M3A1 and the LCVP. Its performance is identical to that of the Stationary M60 in the base game.
Battlefield 2
In Battlefield 2 the M2 Browning appears as the Heavy Machine Gun mounted on the M1A2 Abrams, Desert Patrol Vehicle, HMMWV and on the Technical in Special Forces. On the M1A1 Abrams the M2 Browning is mounted in an unarmoured cupola, while on the HMMWV it is mounted with a gun shield, which partially protects the user.
Battlefield 2: Modern Combat
In Battlefield 2: Modern Combat, the M2 Browning appears as a mounted machine gun on American and European vehicles, as well as mounted on sandbags. It has an extremely high rate of fire, and can damage all targets, even tanks. Continuous fire on a tank for about 10 seconds can destroy one, and infantry are simply blown away by 1-2 hits, making it a very effective defensive emplacement.

Battlefield: Bad Company 2
The damage and range of the M2 Browning
In Bad Company 2 the M2 Browning appears as the Heavy Machine Gun mounted on the M1A2 Abrams and the M3A3 Bradley. The M2 Browning is used in a remote control configuration, so the user isn't vulnerable to enemy sniper fire. Despite its low rate of fire it is capable of killing quickly because of its extremely high damage.
