the HMG is automatic. Measn you only need to push a button and ratatata. It has a big clip. its simply aim and shoot. Why end that wall of bullets? it means you got to start firing again, and that fade sure hell will be sure not to be in your point of view. If you keep shooting he has to go through it, even with blink, in order to sneak up.
only stop firing if you lost sight of the target. otherwise just sweep the mouse alot.
And if you are alone with a hmg you seriously did not get the idea of being a rine, in a SQUAD.
Good fades own good lmg marines. Commanders should not force marines to fight fades using LMGs. It will be a defensive, losing battle and also will lower marine morale very quickly.
Marines equipped with shotgun or HMG and who know what they are doing can travel in squads of two or more in fade infested territory.
If and when I encounter a fade, I try to duck-strafe while shooting him. it works pretty well...if you know how to do it well. You can't always just expect the commander to hand out shotguns cause there's a fade. w/ lvl 1 maybe 2 weapons this should work, w/ a shotty it works 80% of the time I do. unless the fade is uber... <!--emo&::asrifle::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/asrifle.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='asrifle.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I usualy get armor 1, then rush weapons the rest of the way when I comm, cause a lvl 2 or 3 lmg doesn't have to many problems with fades, and that res I save from shotguns getting lost cause they suck with em is very helpfull.
