He's angry at "12 year old keyboard warriors" boys, we got him!

Basically above.

For some reason, you chose to neglect the MASSIVE DOWNSIDES included with the M249 - no sprinting, Brute movement speed, very long reload. Essentially, facing Diggers can mean you can't shoot for like fifteen seconds. (Two stuns that cancel the reload). Along with this, you're virtually a sitting duck for long-range Brute clubs, and also decently weak against Fire Elementals. Furthermore, Leapers and Edgars can also cancel your reload, which is, again, five seconds long.

Sure, the M249 outputs A MASSIVE amount of damage, but it's justified by the debuffs and weaknesses to long-range that it brings.

Seriously, I've killed like five M249 users with Brute clubs simply because they're so slow.

The only place where it's pretty stupid is FFA. Against zombies, however, it's balanced.
