Why are machine guns so weak in this game?

[R2]

Why are machine guns so weak in this game, they have a lot of recoil, the damage is the same as other automatic rifles or less, shoot speed less then other weapoons, the bipods are almost useless.In battlefield 3-4, machine guns have differences from the rest of the weapons. Maybe remove this class, becous its useles. Feels like developers never played as machine gunner, but machine gunners in other games kill them so often times so they dicaide make machine gunner in own game weak as possible. Game copying battlefield3-4 but making machine guns very weak, why?

LMGs are balanced by being able to ADS with them which makes no sense. So basically they trashy ARs with a bigger magazine. The bipod is trash for the LMG. Prone doesn't really help as you get destroyed by hipfiring VecMeds who just happen to glance at you.

M249 is one of the best guns in the game, what are you guys talking about. Great range, damage and easy recoil and huuuuuuuuuuge mag. You can easily take out 8 guys without reloading that's a crazy advantage. Also useless how? Instant building, giving ammo, support is the second best class in the game at the moment.

I played a lot as machine gunner in various games, and the machine gunner in this game is ultra weak

Nobody cares about your scrub farming antics. It sucks for what its supposed to do, provide fire to a zone. Yeah you can run around and ADS and get kills because of it's big mag. That's bad design.

M249 is terrible, the ADS speed/movement debuff kills it completely and mobility is life in this game. Something like G36c drum mag does it's own job better as it can also kill 8 people in one mag and won't get you killed with a movement debuff/ADS penalty. L86 is much better as its an actually competitive gun in terms of TTK.

try the L86 with the Long Barrel
2 taps unarmored heads & 3 to body

We must have played different games. The only difference as far I remember was suppression.

SMGs are the god in this game. You are stupid if you are not using them.

The sooner medics lose the SMGs the better the game will be
