The TR miniguns overdriver is redicilous.

If you're against a have with the minigun you have basically NO CHANCE AT ALL.
Before someones says "no its not that good"...* pointing at the hordes of wild heavies which suddenly appeared after the overdrive attachment appeared *

I know the minigun wasnt the best, it was useless, i know it has a high COF, but the recently added overdrive needs some tuning.

Opinions?

I know forumside has been boring these past weeks, but you're not even trying...

It isn't Overpowered. Hell, I have one. I still get killed regardless.

I prefer extended mags, being able to fire at a doorway for 14 seconds straight without having any bloom is amazing.

Your full of poop. Mini gun is no match to a shot gun CQC. outside of 12 m the bullet spread is wide enough to give other weapons a chance to kill you. In short the mini gun is fine. You just don't know how to deal with a new variable in the game.

It's so good that I still use the extended Mag. Without that you run out of bullets in... 3 seconds?

Have you tried using it yourself?

If you think the BRRRT of all things is overpowered, come play planetside 1 against TR.

It's supposed to be ridiculous.

The point I was making is that the PS1's MCG was ridiculously OP and PS2's is a joke by comparison.

Psst, there's a secret to beating people who use the MCG: Left click

OVERDRIVE!

It's basically my Tony Montana gun... Srsly, it's not OP. .

Is it not true that it still has less DPS than fast firing carbines?

Maybe you haven't noticed, but there already were hordes of HAs with MCGs even before the buff. Certainly more than there were Lashers and Jackhammers.

If you have the BRRT attachment, then it is equal to the GD-7/Serpent (after you have got past the spin up). But otherwise yes, less DPS than the fast firing carbines with an added spin up time.

The minigun is a scary weapon that most don't know how to use properly...that said, when I hear that burping sound coming down a corridor towards me I do tend to poo myself and try to ambush the dude rather than take him head on.

But then I do the same with god-saw wielders and lasher-gunners. It's a gun that's only as OP as the person using it IMO.

Its a murder cannon now. Rule of thumb when using the MCG: Only fire at people outside of it's effective range when they aren't shooting back at you. Otherwise, get to cover, cause your gonna lose. I'd say this applies up to around 30m.

Its not overpowered though, just good. It is also the most fun weapon in the game for me atm.

And shotgun-like accuracy.

When I use my MCG, I like to scream like Arnold... I don't know why, but it's fun.
