Underslung MCG used to make it's own cover back in the day with a wall of hot lead hehe

My thoughts exactly. Who needs cover when you have a wall of bullets

I don't play TR and don't plan to start, but I'd still like to see the old underslung MCG make a comeback. That thing is just cool.

Honestly, what's the problem with just introducing this as a variant with slightly different stats and the old firing stance? So people won't be able to crouch behind cover and fire it - fine - just buff it a bit to compensate for that shortcoming.

If they already have the model, etc. wouldn't selling this just be easy money?

Sure, except they would then have to take all the complaints about it not being able to fire above cover, it not being worth it etc. Leading players to demand refunds etc.

I agree, PS1 was much better at having a chaingun than PS2 is.

Agreed, I bought the shoulder fired MCG anyway on general principle but I never really use it, for obvious reasons. Underslung is simply more badass looking and adds to the nostalgia.
Fuck cover, you've got an MCG! It's for assaulting things, not hiding.

I would feel bad for killing you if we were in the same server. You're a nice VS guy.

Agreed with everything you said, they could just boost some things on the underslung MCG design, and make it a bit more powerful than the current MCG. For example, they could cut the edges of those huge shapes by 45 degrees, so it wouldn't look like it's not well polished, and they could add the circles from the new MCG to the old one, so it would be even better looking.

Then, they could just add it to the item's description:
***WARNING*** BY USING THIS MINI-CHAINGUN MODEL, YOU'LL BE ABLE TO BE EVEN MORE DEVASTATING WITH IT THAN WITH THE ADS MINI-CHAINGUN. HOWEVER, YOU'LL NOT BE ABLE TO HIT YOUR TARGET IN SOME CASES, FOR EXAMPLE WHEN CROUCHED TO COVER.
Or anything like that. I don't understand why someone would get in cover with this weapon, it's not made to do tactical stuff. It's made to show your damn face to the enemies while you shoot their faces. And anyway there's also walls to cover, just get in a better position where - when you need cover - there's a wall or something that you don't need to crouch for cover.
