No reason why lmgs arent in this game. People talk about variety so let's get some lmgs in here.

They can have about the same damage as HMGs but slower rate of fire and maybe half the magazine clip.

That doesn't sound bad, a low damage, high ROF gun with a huge magizine clip box feeder container.

But without the suppression effect like in BF3, I don't see as much benefit from this then you would gain from just going Heavy.

PLEASE stop saying "magazine clip". It makes you sound like a moron. It's either clip or magazine.

Actually, it's just magazine. A clip is a tool to help load a weapon. The Magazine is what actually contains the ammunition.

trolling aside, I think the SMG fills this role quite well, its got a very high rate of fire and can have a large amount of ammunition per "Whatever" . A MG is designed to fire fast, normally from a fixed posistion because of recoil issues. A MG itself would just have subpar damage to a HMG carried by a heavy. And the only circumstance I can see one would desire it for is the mobility and the SMG is a great on the run gun.

The gap between the AR and the HMG isn't that big anyway. I don't think it needs a bridge.

No thank you not a good request

What's your reason?

It doesn't fill a missing roll. There would not be a big enough distinction between the HMG/AR. It has no roll to fill.

I knew this was going to happen though lol.....now what is wrong with having an lmg again?? Whatever happened to wanting variety?

Only class that can use HMGs are heavies. Heavies can carry all....so why cant other classes carry machine guns? Smgs are pdws...lmgs would have longer ranges than smgs and be used as primary weapon.

Not sure why people hate the idea so much.

What roll does cloaking fit in? Yet people are thirsty for them. What roll does an smg fill when you already have a pistol?

LMGs will allow classes other thanthe heavy to use a machine gun

It is something that I'm trying to figure out. I think it may be their desire to antagonize.

The ARs we have now are alot more like LMGs than actually assault rifles, not to mention there is not enough of a gap between the two to justify a in between weapon. While I do want more variety i would rather it be interesting variety than copy and paste stats with different animation and looks. I would appreciate more weapons along the lines of mass drivers, Laser rifles, and Scrambler rifles these are interesting and fun weapons, where as a LMG would just be a different kind of AR.

There is not enough of a difference between HMG and ARs to justify making a whole new weapon just to fill a role that doesnt need filling.

Dont get me wrong, I dont hate the idea. I just dont think there is room for it.

That being said, if they change up the AR because a mass of people say its "OP". And they change the HMG then there would be room. But just saying a slower weapon, that can be used by non heaves, with less ammo, thats basically the AR.

There isn't "room" for it?. So, there should be no more weapons in the game?

cloaking will allow players to dedicate them selfs to scouting and ninja killing while SMG allow players to protect themselves from multiple targets or a ambush when their main weapon is poorly suited for it.
