WHY have the machine gun at all??

I just don get ID and their developer team. why have the machinge gun at all ? There is no lethality associated with it , period. If a player gaunts some one ( armor ripped open) and switches to the MG to finish off opponent , still no stopping power. What gives?? Lets be realistic here. If u won't up its knock down power , then substiute the HvyMG in its place and give the spawner a fighting chanceon the map instead of the exotic weapons user dominating match.

You should've asked this question 16 years ago, petitioning for the return of the blaster.

But nowadays Q3 veterans have to face a dumbed quake iteration. So why don't they replace the MG with HMG as our spawning weapon? Only votable for public servers This would be more noob friendly and in consequence new players won't be lost with a weak weapon on their lost mind...

You absolutely _do not want_ the starting weapon to be too powerful.
Scenario: You time the Red Armour spawn _perfectly_ fight someone over it, get it, them BAM someone with a powerful weapon spawns next to you and frags you?

You should _always_ be weak when you spawn. That's the entire point of a skilled game. You have to get the armour, find the weapons. It all takes skill and knowledge.

You should try the game mode Clan Arena man. If normal FFA or Duel is too difficult a concept. With CA you spawn with all weapons and armour.

yeah, let's bring back the blaster from Quake 2. Or do a Quake 1 and make the shotgun weaker then get a super shotgun in the game!

I really like the machine gun for CA, works when they have low health, it's either that or shotgun. Works great.

Why did they even make another to add to it. Just weird. HMG I would have created a whole new weapon. UT had some very good ones.

I can win maps against pros with just using a MG, you just need elite skillz to be able to use it.

Nothing wrong with MG. It's actually very useful. One of the cool things about MG is its unlimited range - land a couple rails and finish your opponent with MG is common practise.
Ofcourse you can't head into a fight off the spawn with MG, that's just logic. Well, except if you absolutely know that your opponent is very weak and you have positional advantage.

Bottom line... L2P.
