So far we've seen the awesomeness of the warlock with his nova and red grenade thing of death. We've even seen a couple of shots of the hunter showing off his sweet golden-revolver-blow-you-up skill. But from the very beginning, bungie advertised that the Titan's pros is that he'll be able to use the LMG and rocket launcher. There's two problems I have with this, the first one being that nearly every shooter that comes out often falsely portrays the complicated yet awesome LMG. The second is that the premiere gameplay showed the warlock using the LMG therefore taking away one of the two things that bungie advertised the Titan will excel at. I understand that it makes sense for any of the guardians to be able to wield all weapons but it just didn't seem to make sense for them to say that the Titan will wield rocket launchers and LMGs but show us a warlock dominating with an LMG. I'd feel like that would be the same as saying the warlock will use space magic but then bungie showing us the Titan using the nova skill. First things first, the light machine gun is described as such because it is lighter than a medium machine gun and generally uses the 5.56. A MMG uses the 7.62 and anything bigger is classified as an HMG. The LMG is supposed to give the fire teams on the ground the ability to support themselves should they catch themselves in a bind as well as offer greater tactical use for assaults and such. With a high rate of fire and high magazine capacity a troop using an LMG can provide his team heavy suppressive fire which is vital for running from cover to cover. To handle an LMG takes a great amount of skill as well as strength. After all, it is generally the heaviest weapon within the team. But a good gunner has to be able carry additional weight due to his extra rounds and spare barrels, keep up with the others, and provide accurate suppressive fire when he gets to the fight. When it comes to LMGs and games, all to often they are over looked as useless because they are poorly implemented by the developers. All to often they are TOO big and bulky with a higher rate of fire but weaker rounds(wtf?), occasionally they are insanely accurate but still weak, or even strong but inaccurate. Now I'm not asking for any extreme amount of realism because it is after all just a game nor am I asking any extreme, I just want to see the LMG portrayed for what it really is. Awesome. The games that come to mind when it comes to implementing the LMG correctly is the battlefield series and some of the ghost recon games. With the combination of controlled bursts and a light suppressive effect on the players, you can get a good feel of how the weapon is supposed to be and it's great to be able to be that guy with the heavy gun laying waste and striking fear in the hearts in your opponents forcing them to rethink the routes they're taking. Lastly, my disappointment and lack of faith. The LMG they chose to show off at e3 was a huge disappointment. It held less than 30 rounds and had an extremely slow firing rate. On top of that it was belt fed which is the reason for long reload times. Why not make it magazine fed if it holds less than 30 rounds? Are they afraid that it would be considered an assault rifle? I got news for them, I already consider the thunder lord a slow firing, belt fed assault rifle. If this is what I have to look forward to as a Titan then I might as well hop on the pre-alpha meta game and select a hunter or something. And again, I'm not asking for realism or anything. I just want to see a big, bold, brave, heavily armored Titan tearing his enemies apart on the battlefield with an LMG and really showing the definition of a tank for his fellow comrades. But even more than that, I want to come across an LMG and actually consider using it rather than dumping it because it isn't a great weapon in-game.
