It's debatable. The MCG was definitely an under-slung weapon (your left hand hold it from the top) as compared to both the lasher and the jackhammer which were fired from holding it against your arm or shoulder and holding it with your left hand from the bottom.

Either way, I think the new jackhammer is NASTY looking

O That thing is going to be bad ass.

I wonder if that's really the JackHammer though...

It's probably a NC HA weapon, but it really doesn't look anywhere close to the JH.
So it makes me wonder... What happened to my favorite 3 barrels shotgun?!

But yeah... I wanna see more HA guys, and some MAXs too!

Exactly. When I think "hip-slung" (not "hip-fire" in the Commlink), I definitely think of the underslung MCG. Yeah, the shot I showed isn't actually braced, but it looks like the weapon was designed to be (optionally) braced against the shoulder, based on grip and trigger placement.

In any event, I wasn't aware we'd even seen the new Jackhammer yet (not that I've been paying close attention to HA reveals, since I never used HA in PS1). Care to point me towards what you're referring to?

OH SNAP! That's just like my Dampening Field idea!

Sounds like the old Personal Shield implant from PS1. Looks like the implants they simply removed them and added them into the Armor/Class system.

So the Rexo has an option to go HA or AV (or both). Can't wait for the MAX.
