Do you prefer Rocket Launchers or Machine Guns?
Personally, I use machine guns. While it can be argued that they are inaccurate, when you use your heavy it's probably on a boss, who is a nice, large target. A rocket launcher and a machine gun with the same attack, just makes it feel like with more ammo for the machine gun you get more out. One exception I will make is Crota.

4 RepliesSleeper is becoming my favorite heavy weapon. Previously I would have gone with mlg's though.

I love fusion rifles, and HEAVY FUSIONS TOO !

2 RepliesI want a machine gun that shoots rockets.

2 RepliesSwords ftw!

1 ReplyI prefer rocket launchers, but use machine guns more due to them being more useful.
-
Rocket launcher in trials/elim, machine gun everywhere else.
-
Swords, even though they have a huge disadvantage.

4 RepliesIt tends to vary. In an open Crucible map with lots of sniper alleys, a rocket launcher with seekers is very potent. Downside, though, you probably only get two shots. In a closed Crucible map with lots of shottie camp sites and close-in engagement zones (Last Word territiory), machine guns are better. And you can get more kills with marshgalling ammo; I regularly get Machine Lord trophies and then get killed while I still have ammo left. In PvE... well, rockets have their uses for area damage, but I tend to prefer swords.

4 RepliesRockets because only they can still roll surplus

Rockets for PvE and Machine Guns for Crucible. [spoiler]The luckiest seven you will ever meet[/spoiler]

Swords.

SwOrDs

I think rockets are more fun but MGs are more efficient.
-
Gjallarhorn is the only useful PvE rocket in my opinion. So I use an lmg for most PvE now or a sword. For pvp I use rockets in 3v3 playlists but lmg in 6v6

Edited by raymondmukypants: 8/18/2016 9:04:12 AMMachine gun in IB and regular crucible. RL in trails.. Machine gun in PVE..

It's situational, if I know that the strikes will have a ton of grouped enemies then a rocket will be the best, Dragon's Breath or any Legendary with tracking or cluster bombs, but in the Raid, strike with multiple ultras or CoE an LMG is always is the best for keeping the adds away with a ton of ammo, also I'd rather have 50 bullets on my Baron's Ambition in PvP than 2 rockets or 3 if I feel cheap enough to use Truth

10 RepliesHey we're the swords I don't use either. But if I had to chose I would use rocket launcher

1 ReplyMachine guns, without question. In year 1, I used rockets a lot in PvE, but not since then. Even then, I still used machine guns in PvP (BTRD, RIP). In year 2, I pretty much always use machine guns, except when the exotic spot is free in PvE.
-
1 ReplyI always use bolt caster unless I'm using an exotic primary/secondary.
-
1 ReplySituational. I normally run MG, but lately have been using weapons of light and Dragons Breath. In pvp I normally use my Ruin Wake with near max stability.
-
2 RepliesDefinitely a machine gun. I do like having more ammo and I can do more damage. It's especially helpful for bosses.
