GameInformer confirmed NO MACHINE GUNS in D2, why?

Obviously, they will tell us a reason why they did this, but I can't think of any good reason. I liked using machine guns and they were really useful in many areas of the game. What do you guys think about this and how might it affect our experience in D2? If this is because of another pvp related problem I swear to god Bungie you need to balance this shit separately.

    • With the whole Heavy rework, think about it slowly. Take a Shotgun, Rocket, and Sniper. All get low ammo from the packs and do some good damage. Take a Machine Gun. Gets extreme amounts of ammo and does good damage. I don't think I'd want to have the META be Machine Guns.

      • Because we have chain guns now? Because with the new power weapons, and how heavy ammo is dispersed, heavy machine guns as we now know them would be over powered as hell

      • I'm just sitting, waiting for the Cabal raid primary. I want a Slug rifle, the one centurions use.

          In pvp if I had to choose between fusion,side arm, shot gun, sniper, rocket, sword or lmg. I'd take the lmg every time.

          • No gameplay niche for them anymore. Makes sense in my opinion.

          • Simple PVP. they are spawning in power ammo rather regularly. Now feature this the fellow that just hit that green box just filled a thunderlord. How is the next several minutes of that game going to go in their new little thunderdome designed arena pvp map? So since that is the case they like all fun things have been removed from the game and we will have two fine primary weapons to use for about the entire game but again crucible balanced baby.

            • Well we have a mini gun in the primary, maybe we will get more machine gun like things in the primary slots. Probably won't be the same though.

            • Not implemented because some butthurt bad kid got waxed with a Squillium's Terminus one too many times and got triggered. Basically the same story for pretty much every weapon we loved in D1 :/ Thanks to PVP kids, we will be forced to play with two primaries in PVE. SO excited to shoot bullet-spongy bosses with primary weapons.

            • Sad news to say the least. Lmgs are my go to heavy in d1. I enjoy them so much more than rockets. Some of my favorite exotics too.

              No more machine guns I'm fine I'm good; they were only my favorite weapon types, no biggie. Nothing wrong here, let me just bury my Thunderlord and Abaddon and Super Good Advice and be on my way. Who cares about these guns...they were too good for my taste anyway. I'm fine, no heartbreak

              • I think they're now transitioning to these power weapons being solely for one shot kill type weapons. Therefore, machine guns wouldn't quite fit into this slot, but they wouldn't really go anywhere else either, so they just took them out

                • That would have to entirely be on pvp... Can't think of another reason if not just to promote new heavy weapon diversity

                • People without a brain will come up with all kinds of silly answers but if you want the real answer here it is PVP like all the stupid changes in the game it is to balance PVP. If you are always dropping power ammo on the game then you can't have them simple. Yes only one guy picks it up per box. Now that guy just fills the chamber of a thunderlord. How is the next few minutes of the game going to go??? Because of that a weapon type that was a mainstay in the game is now gone. I pre ordered the digital deluxe version of the new game and I don't see it as honestly having much hope of life with the intense pre release nerf of everything we love in the game.

                  • "PvP balance" aka -blam!- pve players... "We are more focused than ever on delivering a complete experience for pve players" my ass. Every change to destiny 2 that I've seen has been catered to PvP players.(except for more cutscenes woopty doo)
