    Not sure why they didn't include it in NS2. Shotgun is the only upgrade that can kill aliens effectively. Flamethrower is under powered and GL is for structures/vents. Personally I like using the LMG more than the shotgun.

    I agree! we shouldnt be limited to 1 gun to kill aliens.


    does anyone know if these type of items can be coded into some sort of mod ?

    As far as the HMG being coded goes, the NS2c mod has the HMG already in it.

    Personally, I'd like to see a plasma type weapon for standard marines.

    Something like:

    30 round clip
    Half the firing rate of the rifle (rifle can shoot 50 bullets in like 3 seconds)
    15 damage per shot (20 with w3)
    Heavy damage type: double damage against armor (good for onoses)
    Actual projectile with decent travel speed (twice gorge spit maybe)

    This would make an excellent gun vs carapace users and higher lifeforms without being a flat upgrade for the rifle (rifle has faster firing rate and larger clip = more efficient at killing lower lifeforms)

    UWE has stated that they dont want to bring back the HMG due to it rendering the Rifle obsolete, and they are against anything becoming obsolete
