You say that people who have the M249 think they're the best at the game, althought this isn't entirely true, they do have bragging rights after going through so much grinding to get it.

You complain about the M249 stealing so many kills from newbies, but have you ever considered that when they're on a farming server with max party, the newbies can get quite a lot of money just from the party share (especially the Void map in my opinion), and if they don't get enough from that, just go to a singleplayer server or beginners server and farm there.

There is also very few people who want to be the "MVP", and how often have you seen someone brag about being MVP for even a minute?

People use the M249 because it can basically carry all the survivors.,even WITH the M249, it's still kind of difficult to survive, so imagine what it's like without it.

The M249 is better than pretty much most weapons, so I don't see why you don't use it.

Now, in PvP, M249 is overpowered, that's definitely true, and I also think it should be nerfed but ONLY in PvP modes.

I think it should stay the same in normal zombie modes

In conclusion, the M249 is basically an all-rounded weapon, which can serve many purposes (But definitely don't use it to snipe)

P.S. Sorry this reply is long, lol

A lot of times I join grinding servers, high ranks with the M249 make their own parties so nobody’s else gets money but then, and even I, as a med rank will get invited to those parties and to get these d____ back, I invite as many people as possible (when it’s my party)

I like to be proud of mvp, especially when it’s on a hard game mode like black field or survival on Victoria, sometimes I’ll even get it when there are multiple max ranks who wield guess what? M249s, that makes me even prouder knowing that I beat somebody who is supposed to be greater than me. But I see M249 users join low rank servers and take all the kills for themselves and boast about how good they are, and when somebody who can actually beat them joins, most of them either get salty or try to team up with the other

So your saying Other guns can’t match the M249? Lies, spas, ak47, famas, and maybe even a Thompson can do what the M249 can’t. And I’ve seen people carry others with these guns. It isn’t not hard to survive with the M249, it’s stats have more good than bad, I mean, it does basically 100 damage and can one shot a zombie if aimed correctly, and when you say that “it’s hard to survive without it” makes me think your read nothing and just skimmed through the thread, op says that he has bought every gun but the M249 and still matches the users who use that gun, so idk what your talking about
