discom January 9, 2006 Share discom Member January 9, 2006 Does anyone here actually use the machine gun when they are playing seriously? I dont think I have EVER used one on GC, and I always laugh when I see someone with one. They are so expensive and you might as well get a cheap smg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheReverend(c) January 9, 2006 Share TheReverend(c) Member January 9, 2006 Ive used the SAW (m249) a lot in the last few months with the p90. The problem is that some maps are big and the saw is only good for close quarters like Italy or Office. Youll notice that when this weapon is fired in office the lights flicker lol. Get a group with p90s, shottys and saws and its almost unstoppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoMamma January 9, 2006 Share YoMamma Member January 9, 2006 (edited) By machine gun, I assume you are talking about the Para. Yea... I dont use it often. Basically when I do use it, it's just for laughs. Edited January 9, 2006 by YoMamma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowman January 9, 2006 Share Shadowman Member January 9, 2006 Depends. I'll use it if I have the cash, and depending on the map. Because OFFICE is so confined and small, the para is lethal in the hallways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Cool January 9, 2006 Share Mr.Cool Member January 9, 2006 Everytime me and decoy are on the same server at the same time we would save our money and buy paras... i remember the first time we did it was on aztec, we were both ct and camped the bridge entrance (ct side) we were on the left, side by side, and 1 round the ts kept comin across and we mowed down like 6 or 7..it was so funny =D yea..i only buy the para wen i hav the cash or wen i want to camp and hav fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JackieChan January 9, 2006 Share JackieChan GC Alumni January 9, 2006 Never use em. I don't want to waste 5000+ dollars on something I'm probably never going to use because I'll die before I shoot it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to waste 5000+ dollars on something I'm probably never going to use because I'll die before I shoot it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, that's why i wondered if ppl ever use em. It seems as though the only purpose they serve is to provide comic relief when you get really mad at the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J. Dunlavy January 9, 2006 Share J. Dunlavy Member January 9, 2006 I've gone on a fifteen man killing spree with it in Office before. If you're on the Counter Terrorist team, it also does fair in Chateau (the level with the water at T spawn). If I were a developer for Valve, I would lower the price or equip it with an M203. Then it'd be a good cover and clearance weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pestilence January 9, 2006 Share Pestilence Member January 9, 2006 I have only used it once, but when i get on a team that is winning me a lot of money, i like to buy different types of guns that i'm not used to using. Next time i think i might try the para. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saris January 9, 2006 Share Saris Member January 9, 2006 Here's the real question: Do you think Valve leaves it that way for it to BE a joke weapon? I think so. I love using the para. Usually, if I have enough money, I'll buy one, especially when my team can win without my help. Just don't go anywhere near Doom when he has one, being on his team or not - I did a great para rush in office, got like, 5 kills and survived the round - I check my console and Doom (on my team) was the only person to damage me and he hit me for 90 in like, 5 hits.

J. Dunlavy January 9, 2006 Share J. Dunlavy Member January 9, 2006 I'm that way with auto-shotgun. I tend to get really twitchy with it and have been known to plow through teammates to get at CTs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatty January 9, 2006 Share Fatty GC Founder January 9, 2006 The big machine gun in DoD:Source is probably my favorite weapon in that game....actually works like you'd think it should, tearing people up with some serious carnage, requiring a bipod to function (lol at firing it without one). Remember the movie Commando? Arnold running around with an M60 like it was a toy. There are many things about either game that are better, weapon realism might be lacking in CSS. ....and don't get me started on the jumping awpers (Cujo I curse you!).

NOFX January 9, 2006 Share NOFX Member January 9, 2006 the para!! i dont think its a joke. If you can use it, its lethal. One hit from that sucker will do massive damage. The trick is learning how to hit accurately. I use it often if Im tired of the m4/AK and awp and I have the money to spend. Aim for the head and snipe. Those bullets are big.

ephemeral January 9, 2006 Share ephemeral Member January 9, 2006 i find the saw useful for holding down areas. double doors...small rooms. etc. also, it makes a fun final round rush gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
