Minigun as Secondary
« on: August 16, 2006, 03:39:22 pm »
Ok, Ok I know what you're thinking, but lets look at the logic..

No one really uses the minigun, except for newbies or people trying to fly. I think it would be more usable as a secondary. Maybe cut the ammo in half or lower the damage, but it isn't really usable as a main weapon.

It's a great gun if you know how to use it.  I've seen a couple people use it just today, and they were neither noobs nor were they trying to fly, so don't blow thigns out of proportion.  There's no logic here, just exaggeration.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams it is
still a beautiful world.  Strive to be happy.

That's just from your perspective.

It would dominate the secondaries then, the socom would be practically useless.

I think we should make the M79 a secondary.

Goelogist has right, minigun isn't for noobs, it's really hard to kill someone with it if you don't know how to use it. like he said - no logic.

I don't want to have minigun as secondary. Would you also like to have the minimi as a secondary to go with the minigun?

Miningun has potential to be good with it not as much as the other weapons but people can get pretty good with it with decent ping

Lol, you should actually be kinda of grateful nobody else uses the minigun. The few people who can use it properly (I've meet around 3 persons) simply owns.

There is nothing harder than surviving being sprayed from ruger-range (in loss of better words) and constantly being binked and pushed back.

The minigun owns.
My aim sucks.
