i agree that the mini gun should have recoil, even if the rest of the weapons dont have recoil. the mini gun is a much more powerful weapon and so not having recoil does seen a little odd, but that is my opinion.

I dont believe it should have recoil. I dont know the reality of the mini gun's recoilness etc but based on every movie ive seen it has no recoil whats so ever. It just spins and spins firing out crap load of lead :-P. Its pretty easy weapon to waste ammo too and its accuracy is fine how it is right now.

The reality of the matter is that it produces roughly 20kg of recoil constantly, which is far more for anyone less than an action movie hero human can handle.

If recoil was added for the minigun, I think it should added for every other weapon to some extent as well (except the gas tank, flamethrower, and most likely the axe for obvious reasons) because it would feel ackward with JUST the minigun having recoil. If this is to be implemented, the accuracy of the weapons on full automatic will have to be decreased to compensate for the physical recoil, if not, then there will be many, many missed full automatic shots.

No, just the mini gun, the other weapons even with auto or burst are still easy to control and hit your target

It still takes control in order to keep it on target, hence why there should be some small degree of physical recoil. If it is added to one weapon it should be added to most of them, I don't think it would feel right if only a single weapon had physical recoil.

@Marku the minigun is IMPOSSIBLE to fire when not deployed. With ammo, power and gun, you carry 20 kgs on the back, a 15 kg gun you make an attempt at holding right, and when you fire you get 10 kg recoil at the least. Aiming at that stage is virtually impossible. Movies arent the best place to get info about firearms. Seen rambo? He holds a 30. cal in one hand...
So if it stays, its a cartoon gun, not recoil just bad aim etc.
If all firearms got recoil, automatic rifles would have a bit too, since they are light-weight weapons. Weight determines recoil to a certain point along with RoF, calibre, length and such. So all guns would have a throwback.
If you want a clue of what minigun recoil should be, fire an mg42 undeployed in DoD. Thats about equal.

No, Rambo fired an M60, 7.62mm machine gun, and you can do that, I know I did it, hitting something with any accuracy at distance, totaly different matter.

Plus you can shoot an M1919 30. cal while running around, again distance and accuracy, but up close, room to room, it can be done.

I just like the way the recoil is for the minigun it was fun, thast why I wanted it added back, it doesnt have to be about every weapon then must have recoil, just the minigun

Yeah... think thats the one. WHY IN HELL does all guns have 1239816sddgkw ish names?
Why not "the 1337stick" or "the big one" or "heavy pump action shotgun that will blow of your head" It would make it all so much more easy....

How about we just get rid of the minigun, since it's ussually (note I said USSUALLY) one of the most retarded weapons you can put in a video game? If we MUST have a heavy machine gun, make it something believable like an M249 or M60. And tone it down a bit. I'm sick of seeing people win effortlessly by using miniguns. : / Maybe I'm being whiny here, but without someone whining occassionally, problems are never fixed.


Personally, I'd rather see a SPAS-12 than a minigun any day, if you're thinking of replacing it completely. wink.gif

How is it a problem? This is a suggestion, not a bug. wink.gif

Another shotgun is VERY unlikely because there are already two shotguns that fill different roles.

Give a good player a sawed off and a flame thrower and they will win much easier than if they had a minigun.

The same way zombies are believable wink.gif

If you want to continue to suggest the removal of the minigun, please make a seperate thread about it.
