<div class="IPBDescription">HMG vs GL</div> Which one is more useful in ns 1.1?

If you said HMG then why not switch costs for the both... make gl cost 25 and hmg cost 30 would that do any effect to the gameplay since HMG are a bit strong right now from what the PT and the VET's are saying.

What's the situation on this?

I wonder what would happen if they switched the cost around having a gl cost 25 and hmg costing 30

6 grenades per clip, 150 blast damage per shot = 900 damage per clip, 1800 against structures. Word says that the grens will also be correctly predicted client-side in v1.1, like acid rockets are currently. 25 res would not be expensive enough to be balanced.

GLs and HMGs have both been given tremendous boosts. No complaints from me, but they certainly don't need to be cheaper now.

Makes sense to me. Why make a gun that is already handicapped and make it cost more than a machine gun?

I've been feeling this way for a long time. The HMG is overpowered, and certainly is overpowered in respect to its relative cost/power on the GL. Switch prices!!!!!

1800 damage a clip against buildings.....
900 damage a clip against aliens.....

This may be a silly idea but the prospect of taking out ahive in 4 clips sounds appertising. The GL needs to be more expensive to stop a comm just giving out GLs and JPs to 5 people then getting them all to fill the hive with 1 clip.

This s based on hive having 7000 health

Yeah but in how many 1.0x games were you up against umbraed onos?
