It seems to me that if the Infantry has a 6.5mm LMG with a high BC projectile there will be no need to drag along the .338 MMG or any other MMG for that matter.
It seems like if you need more power and range than the 6.5mm offers, than your more practical course of action would be to bring along 60mm mortars.
While the 50 cal can be deployed by dismounted squads, it's in no way practical, so why should we expect a .338 MMG to be implemented in this manner. New weapons have always changed battlefield tactics. I wouldn't expect this change to be any different.
