So anyway, I got to thinking about how awesome it would be if we could chainfire more than one weapon at a time.

Say if I have 6 lasers on my Boars Head or Jenner F, wouldn't it be great if I could chain fire 2 at a time instead of 1?

It would just free up more button space and make it easier. I have a Razer Naga Molten Series so I do have available buttons, but even still it would be a lot easier on my hand and easier over all if I could cycle 2 at a time using my Mouse 1 button, instead of setting it to Mouse 1, Mouse 2 and button 4 on my mouse for instance.

And for people who dont have or cannot afford a Razer Naga Molten series, this would certainly be of more benefit!

Let me know what you think guys.

Could you just make 2 groups set to Chain fire? this way you can hold 2 buttons an fire 2 weapons together in chain fire mode... I think.

I suppose but it would be a lot easier with one.. if there was a way to designate how many weapons you want to chain fire at a time and do it that way. Maybe something they can put into UI 2.0?

That's a solution, sure, but it's not ideal. It's a work-around, made necessary by a crappy, extremely limited chain-fire mechanic. It would be far better to just make chain-fire more robust.

Agreed Mack, but you have to work with what you got till you get better. Right?

Setup 2 chainfire groups like Joe said then setup a macro on your mouse to fire both with one button press. I haven't tried it or anything, but it works in my mind.

Agreed it would be neat to get some more customization in firing groups for group chaining. I'd also like to see the ability to stagger chain fire at a specified interval so you can do like the ac2 macro without need of a macro. Mix them together and fire 6 ac2s in a mg-like chain, 2 ac2s at a time. DAKKA FOR THE DAKKA GOD!
