Who thinks that the smg should just become an assault rifle?
We have the shotgun for close range and the rifle for far away, so The Assault Rifle for mid range.

I think this aswell

Agreed.

I wouldn't mind that at all.

same

ben IS boosting the smg in the next update, soo.....i guess it will be more of an assult rifle.

Ben should add grenade launchers. They don't even have to destroy blocks.

I think keeping it as an SMG is fine, it does not really matter to me

agree

Yeah I wouldn't mind. I mean, I already have an smg skin that makes it look like an AK-47 and it just puts me in an assault rifle mood in the first place...

@ shadow
HOLY FUCKING SHIT ITS SLENDER MAN ! HOLY SHIT HIDE YOUR IP PEOPLE HES GONNA KILL YOU WITH HIS LACK OF FACIAL FEATURES!!!
OOOH...GOD............PLEASE ...........DDDDONT............KKKIIIILLL.....ME!

Alucard, shut your pretty mouth. Jesus, your posts get more and more annoying.

I totally agree. Shadow for president 2012.

Agreed.
Dammit I wish I could post your theme song right now Shadow.

Hm Shadow The Hedgehog?

Thats one badass hedgehog baby

I've been preaching this for more than a month now. Buff the SMG until it is a proper LMG, or discard it completely and add an assault rifle.

@OP: Agreed. SMG should be an Assault Rifle.

I agree too.

I support this suggestion, because I personally think that the SMG has become an Assault Rifle in terms of ammo capacity, accuracy, and damage already... So when I think it "should be changed to an Assault Rifle" I think that the only change that will take place is the name of the weapon.

No if this was to be an assault rifle u would need a large amo boost.
Any game i have ever played with guns has assault rifle amo at like 150-300.

then ben won't make 150-300 ammo, it's his f*cking game he does whatever the f*ck he wants, if decides to make the smg an assault rifle he can make it unlimited ammo if he wants...

i'd agree with this
smg would be more short-medium range
thus assault rifle is med range
and we need something med range

I like the SMG though for major griefing on the other teams structures, but I would like an assult rifle...

Honestly, people, I don't think we should think of it as a brand new, seperate weapon. I believe that we should think of it as a modification of the smg. Either way, we still get at least one automatic weapon.

fire mode maybe?

assault/slow fire mode

smg/grief/fast fire mode

though... come on why don't you guys suggest things on IRC when ben's on? Instead of speculating...

OR we just quite the whining with the SMG and learn how to use it. Its a support/sneaking weapon afterall.

If you don't just play on pinpoint the whole time you can get kills with it. I easily go 6-1 with the SMG, maybe more

Yes I agree

The SMG sucks. Face it. It's too weak and is ineffective and has trouble hitting anything at anything more than 15 blocks away, and at that range it's much more effective to just use the shotgun.
What the SMG is a a recoil reduction and more damage per bullet.

Increasing the accuracy can make it an even better support weapon as you can hit fortification without wasting as much ammo and take them out faster. And it can help compete with the rifle.

what he said

basically, smg is good in certain situations, 70% of these situations would be better handled by the shotgun. so why bother with the smg?

The SMG is my favorite. If you take a week and only use that gun, smg, for about ATLEAST an hour the WHOLE time you'll know. If you end up sucking still it isn't your gun. You cant say something that isn't true. Ive gotton kill streaks in the 50's with the smg.

Making it an assault rifle is a terrible idea. I think you guys should move on with this hate and STOP! We dont need these guns to change. Because of you people that's what he's doing for this next update. We dont need it to kill any1 in it's way like the FAMAS. It should be a challenge and fun to kill with. I believe Ben made it perfect. End of conversation.

Actually you can sniper with the smg. I don't do it often as I usually die by a sniper, but it's possible. Really easy if you ask me. You need to crouch or practice with it. Try shooting the afk people at your spawn. Act as if they were the other team. PRACTICE!!!!!

^ nobody gives a shit as a sniper thats what the semi i for. Ben is already buffing the smg so its going to become an AR
