I second that opinion. OR the burst fire machine gun pistol (dunno the name). For some reason I'm very accurate with it. But between the two, I don't care. Usually the Lancer because chainsawing can be helpful in a few situations.
As of this moment I am leaning towards Hammerburst. I would use it all the time, but chainsawing gets a bit annoying.
Its all about the hammerburst, great for headshots or putting people on the ground for pick up/execution. Plus if you just don't like hitting the button because it is not automatic, you can hold down the button so it we be automatic for you, but keep the same accuracy. >_> I don't do that though.
I'm currently trying to get into using the hammerburst. My issue is that if i want to do that kind of shooting and head popping, i pull out my pistol. I'm also starting to use the other pistols a lot sooo. yeah. My weapon of choice is always, and will always be the sniper rifle. Give me that and i kick serious ass.
Yeah when Deathtoll and I played, the second we got our snipers, the game became a sniping range with some other weapons sprinkled for variety. I know what you mean about that type of playing though. When ever I get my hammerburst replaced with a lancer in some levels, I always have fun just blasting that machine gun like theres no tomorrow. ^_^
Lancer. I'm accustomed to yelling at my friends "FINGER LICKIN' GOOD!" when I gte a chainsaw kill. Especially now that I have a golden Lancer.
