The Heavy Bolter from Space Marine is incredible!

Probably the best example of a man portable (even if said man is a genetically enhanced super soldier in power armour) heavy ballistics weapon. It even overheats. That said, having to brace to use a HMG in Dust would almost guarantee the Sentinel dying before getting the kill unless something was done to balance it.
TTK vs Sentinel is almost the same as in Space Marine....... plus the idea behind the braced position was to do so before you ran into and enemy and prefire on corners you knew they were using.

The type of weapon that i started this post with would need this limitation, in RL and science fiction.
"The Military Grade Clone, the core of every dropsuit, is constructed out of high quality biomass laced with nanites. The clone design itself is complete with many military decisions incorporated; such as redundancy to prevent body failure and shock, enhanced skeletal and muscular strength, improved endurance, efficient metabolism, dulled pain senses and a nanite organ support system gives unrivaled advantages over the traditional clones normally offered at many medical facilities. Encasing the innards of the clone is a bio-engineered titanium-ion based skeleton to keep the clone lightweight and strong. Throughout the body is a special artery system able to support and supply the body with nanites which enhance many bodily functions from repair, bleed prevention, and interfacing with the suit. Despite all the liberties taken in designing these nearly two and a half meter tall biological weapons, have still have to accommodate a very human physiology."
Not including any mechanical enhancements a dropsuit could provide like powered exoskeletons, steroids, etc I am sure a clone could carry such and under-slung weapon.

The type of weapon that i started this post with would need this limitation, in RL and science fiction. Power Armour's artificial muscles and internal servos, especially those on the Sentinel suits, should be able to compensate for wielding a HMG to the point where it's not overly unwieldly/impossible to use. I admit the bracing argument has its merits, and as a long time Space Marine player (3 years) I'm used to the example being used so I have a good idea of what everyone's going off of. One of my concerns of braced Sentinels is camping, which oddly doesn't happen much in Space Marine (but then again, what good is camping a corner when there's the Plasma Cannon, Lascannon, broken OP Vengeance Launcher or Jump Pack equipped CQC monsters who can get around it?) but we get them now so no big deal, I guess?
What else is a machine gun designed to do. If not to dig into a position and defend it. The downside as usual in FPS games is that since you cannot/don't move people eventually find a way around you and grenade you out, snipe, etc.
