Please address the now unbelievably, obscenely OP'ness of machine guns. The things shouldn't be able to strip off armor crazy fast and do insane crit damage to internals... I always thought they weren't supposed to be able to strip armor but now they can do so very quickly. This needs to be sorted out..

Regards...

Did PGI announce something, or are you trolling?

[MechaBattler]

They're pretty good for when the armor is gone. But other than that, they're not armor stripping weapons. If you hate them now. Wait till heavy machine guns xD

Did my 4mg/2 flamer Urbie touch you in a bad spot?

[Monkey Lover]

You're not going to be a happy camper when the arctic cheater has 8 heavy machine guns in 3 weeks haha

It's stuff like this that reminds me why devs so rarely read forums.

"obscenely OP'ness of machine guns".....?
"strip off armor crazy fast and do insane crit damage to internals".....?
Are you sure you are playing MWO?
I'm gonna wait for you when the Heavy Machine Guns will be released

You know I was kinda debating whether I should leave one of those favorite memes here, either the one with "throw our heads back in laughter" or maybe "triple facepalm because double facepalm isn't enough" ... but I think this one will work better ...

[chucklesMuch]

Mmm.... has anybody else been double checking it wasn't really Cazadin who started couple of these recent threads?


@ OP Are you sure it's just mg's that are hitting you?

I run mg/energy builds on arrow/hbr/nova/viper/cutefox... (looking forward to cheetahs and myst lynx) it's not uncommon for me to be holding down the quad mg fire button whilst also firing them wubs and pew pews...

Nope Caz haven't come up with next great thing yet, the only one he did is small laser nerf that it.

MG OP thread, even better than the legendary Flamer OP threads.

This is rare salt, so gather it while you can! HMG salt won't be nearly as tasty as this...

(note that the spider has 2 invisible MGs in the video....must be haxxxxxxx!)

Dear PGI, PLEASE nerf machine guns. The Infantry is so terrified of them that they and their light armoured vehicles won't even show up on the battlefield! Clearly they are too over-powered.

Hmm, would you even use the MG if it doesn't crit? 120m optimal range, 0.95 DPS that requires constant face-time.
