assault rifles > cpmg/hyperblaster by far

[jeeves]

the fighting in this game consists of fast strafing back and forth and shooting only aiming for the head. you cannot do this with the heavy weapons...especially the cpmg. these heavy weapons need to be rebalanced to make them useful, because as of now, the assault rifles do more damage (more accurate, easier to hit head...even while moving full speed) and allow you to strafe very quickly.

heavy mg-s are not for running around, cutting down everything you see.

They are more of a camping weapons

The GPMG/Hyperblaster aren't intended to be used like the ARs. The Hyperblaster is somewhat like the RtCW Venom, while the GPMG is somewhat like the ET MG42. Both can be used to great effect in ET:QW if used properly.

the ONLY thing i can see these being useful for are small hallways spamming. most of the game is not like that at all (sewer anyways). it is fast and furious strafing. even so, an assault rifle user with good aim in a halfway will hit heads. which is my point..everything you can do with the heavy weapons, you can do better with the rifles. up close battles favor the rifles even more, because speed is everything, bonus is you also get better accuracy.

The hyperblaster and GMPG are excellent for damaging light vehicles and aircraft...
