DB can only fire once or twice and the reload is too long. I mean sure its does a ton of damage, but its for like an individual zombie like a digger or elemental, but not for hordes.

Second, I do a acknowledge the fact that the Minigun and M249 does loads of damage. Sure zombies don't have enough health to sustain that amount of damage, but they respawn so fast that it really doesn't matter. These guns are just to kill them faster and get the zombies away from you quicker.

Sure there is tons of ammo, but have you consider that if you were playing Unlimited that eventually all the ammunition would run out? Of course there are vests which give extra clips, but you would still run out.

Melee weapons are great and sure help when your out of ammo. Wearing Tactial Vest II increases more swings. However if there is no ammo left and you have to continously stab/chop/smack waves and waves of hordes, you will be left with no energy which means you can't run which means death. DB is for singles, Minigun/M249 are for hordes, thats why you have a team.

If the zombies respawn so fast that it "doesnt matter", then the game would have broken balance. Thats why they spawn away from you so that isnt the case. The point of the guns is to keep the zombies away from you so you can complete your objectives. Thats how the guns work, so I dont see a problem with that.

If you're playing Unlimited and the ammo runs out, then thats Unlimited. Because its an infinite gamemode, thats how the gamemode works - Survive until you just cant. When the ammo is all gone and there are Charged Brutes and Electric Elementals on the horizon, you just cant survive that. Thats how the gamemode works.

If you overuse your melees, you wont have energy. Thats to balance them out so you dont become a stunning machine. If you stall too long, you'll run out of energy and die. But on gamemodes with objectives, the melees are extremely helpful since you can push zombies back. You can even stun Leapers, Stalkers, and other nasties that want to grab you.

The problem with the Ice gun is that it does what melee weapons do...except only faster, more range, less cost, and for much, much longer.
