2) Machine guns are bad. I could forgive this, because they're cool, but:

1) You use BFG's on a centurion's sword arm because that's what you do. MG -AH pilots must hand in both their man card (if applicable) and Centurion pilot license because they're embarrassments to a glorious chassis.


In turn...you should hand in your pilot's license for piloting a centurion....

Huh? I don't....think this is true. Are people really doing this? I have them only on mechs where they are a backup weapon (or the ember). Right now, Energy weapons are baller so...I dunno maybe I can see it. I don't really remember that many MGs lately.

Whether they're your thing or not, the Centurion is a glorious, venerable machine that deserves respect. It's a mech for true warriors.

AC20/3xSRM2. NO EXCEPTIONS.


Eh, still liking the A-SRM6x3 (3xmachine guns for flavor). If the centurion still had the bay doors to me it would be the clear winner.

Not when it used to be a zombie. That was for the lazy warriors who just want to go in, lose both torsi, and pew pew for 5 more minutes before dying.

Hurr hurr hurr as I have something between my legs I need to use big phallic guns! If I don't my something falls off.

Casual sexism yay.

Yeah, there are ways to abuse it for sure. The above isbjust the same as the machine gun variants of the -AH used now. Its disrespectful.

Using a CN9 without a BFG is like using a HBK4G with 3mg's. It's just wrong.

On this, I am adamant.

We... we've done it! We've gotten a thread demanding a machine gun nerf!

Nerf threads can't evolve any further guys, we've made it to the top!

*cries tears of joy*


Nerf Tag. It's too long range.

Last week I did see a DW w/ 6MG (i forget what else). Reminded me of a B-52 dropping a s***load of hand grenades.

However in regards to this thread;

This Arrow and JM6-DD (2 AC10/4 MG/2 ML) driver says NO!

What's next, nerfing certain OP camo patterns?

Saw a KC with 2x LPL, 2x LBX10 and 4x MG two days ago.

Damn he was critseeking so hard. Stayed in the back and made good use of all those armor breaches. Wrecked face.
Just kidding.
He went down with a total damage of 73.

Someone on these forums is seriously crying for an MG nerf now? Am I reading this right?

I don't have an epic enough facepalm image/gif available right now.

Machine guns and AC2's were nerfed into the ground. Machine guns need the crits raised back up. And AC2's need their range back.

MG's have no range and do no damage. They sound cool. There is no reason to nerf them by causing them to jam...

I switched to 2xLBX10, 4xMG, 2xSRM6, 2xLL on my crab to use the extra ballistic slots. I figure once the other crabs are out for cbills I'll use one of the others for AC20s and the other one for the 4x UAC5.

It works about as well as the AC20 build (which had much smaller SRMs to make up the weight). I keep forgetting to actually fire the machine guns, though. o.o;
