Read this whole thread, laughing the whole way. The reason the AR has been and will be the most used weapon, because it is easy to use. Seeing a surge in MD lately? Good. That is called diversity. Getting killed by it often? Yeah, it doesn't shoot hugs. It is amusing to me to see so many pick it up (still less than AR) because a large majority are not good with it. If you fight in close proximity to a MD, the fight isn't in your favor. Same way if they are above you. At its core its a SURPRESSIVE weapon. If you insist on running into surpessive fire, be my guest.

ROFL as your...."its a suppressive weapon"...yea thats why when I run with the MD I charge at 3 guys and laugh as I blow them all the smitherins.......yea its definitely a suppressive fire weapon and cannot be used effectively in run n gun situations....

Oh wait yes it can because the majority of the times its used in PC its being used as a run n gun weapon because its extremely effective in this role.......... Roll

In some situations it is suppresive, but is a breaching tool (ala description) which means it is designed for short range group combat, because the fact an ar only needs 40% accuracy to beat it isn't enough!!

Yea and the obvious fact that you all fail to even comprehend is that if the MD hits an AR user once in its AOE the MD user can then continue to pump out rounds without fear of being shot back due to the aim jerk the explosive creates. I have played with MD enough to know that as long as the 3 AR users stay within the blast radius of my MD I will not even take 1 shot from them once I start hitting them with AOE. You act like its so difficult...whats so difficult about a weapon that....lets say....cycles every second but creates a stunning/ineffective aiming effect on your enemy for about 1.5 seconds?

I could care less if there are 3 ppl with ARs shooting my direction once I hit them I am basically invincible from taking any further dmg from them as their aim jerks up and becomes completely ineffective for the duration of my clip. I have even faced HMGs in CQC with the heavy being at full HP and completely destroyed the heavy due to this ability to creat a weapon jerk (it seems to be less noticeable on heavies but it still exists).

Sounds like you faced some people who were lacking in skill, but that hardly supports your point. I destroy heavies with what ever I have my hands on. A lone heavy hasnt been threatening since early chromosome. Beating one with a MD doesn't mean its skilless weapon. By that logic smgs, AR, shotgun, plasma cannon, and scrambler pistols are also 'skilless' weapons. I guess AR over everything.
