i had a bad runin in a CTF game, where the entire othre team (7 people) all were in a clan called the minigunners.....geuss what all 7 used? they just sat back and covered their base with a wall of bullets, so you couldnt do anything really.....they ended up not being too bad with them when they finally attacked, they just had to support eachother to be effective. Minigun forces Teamwork
Your acting like your having a duel and your opponent gets a pistol and you get a spork.
Isn't that pretty much what it is? I dunno wtf a spork is, I suppose it's way weaker than the pistol since you compared that to this.

I won't touch the minigun with a 10-foot barge pole, but I still want it it in because it just would not be soldat without it.

I think it is the shittiest weapon of the game and noboy use it exept bore people, and noobs. I put this in the suggestions forum.

I think the Start-Up time should be shorter if you stop firing, then fire again before the barrels stop spinning ! Just take the precise amount of time to pick the RPMs lost while you weren't firing.. and so on. It doesn't seem hard to code either.
For example if it takes 1.5 second to fire the thing, and you stopped firing 0.7 seconds... the just have 0.8 seconds to fire again. The weapon has been too crappy since 1.1
The minigun in Alien VS Predator works just like this, you can even keep the barrels spinning with the secondary action, to quickly take down those aliens, but thats another thing, just food for thought.

But honestly, I'd like to see it replaced with something else

i seem not to agree with juggernaut on this one. with any auto, once you are out of there range they have nothing they can do but take cover. all you have to do is memerize the 4 inch circle and stay slightly away from it. also help if you are above the circle too. and actually with my monthly kill logs, minigunners only had like 6% of kills.

To remove the mini gun... Well I don't think it should be removed Its not really that effective. I think a whole server useing M79 and Barrets is worste. Though I prefer to play Realistic and the recoil on it is nasty its fun to watch some n00b aim at you then BAM rest of the rounds going into the air with no effectivness at all.

The minigun should have less bullets, more damage and more fire interval

And Minigun is actually one of the least noob-ish weapons since getting a kill with it is very hard :-/

I believe this gun should be kept, made better, but also nerfed a bit. I don't see how a man can FLY with something that weighs almost as much as he does without having some kind of jetpack. (Not saying we should add a jetpack, just saying it's VERY unrealistic, and I mean that this should be implemented in realistic mode only, otherwise there would be far too many whiners and noobs carrying it around. Not that noobs don't play realistic.)

Anyways, it should slow you down like heck when you carry it, even on your back, but it should also be much more precise than it is currently, perhaps a bit more powerful as well. This would make it a good strategic weapon, and a lot more fun to play with.

When you play unrealistic with it, I guess it's fine as it is.
