If you have been reading the forums for more than a week, you have seen more posts about new guns(especially MGs) than you can count on your two hands. Ben has also announced he will add more weapons. But something i have noticed with EVERYone's suggestion is that the MG is to damn UNDER powered. Yes, you did read that right, i said under. Here's why,
People want it mounted, this means building time, it can't move, has an angle of about 100 degrees
It over heats, you can't fire for more than a few seconds(what's the point?)
Can't destroy blocks, well I would rather pop a nade than wait for them to peek out of cover.
Large spread, if it's inaccurate, that defeats the purpose of a DEFENSIVE weapon. Besides, i have rarely seen more than two dudes side-by-side
One per team, or limited, this INVITES griefers to dig holes and bury the MG. No way to get around that
Destroyed by a pickaxe, "Welp, there goes my only weapon. What to do, what to do..."
Seriously guys, I want to fight with a real gun, not a watered down nerf blaster. Imagine if you had the weapon that I(and you), have just described.
