B.M.G. (AC/DC – T.N.T.)

oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi oi

See me ride out of the sunset
On your colored TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Players to the left of me
And players to the right
Ain't got no gun
Ain't got no knife
Don't you start no fight

(Chorus)
I got a
B.M.G.
It’s a blinding light
B.M.G.
And I'll lose the fight
B.M.G.
Graphics overload
B.M.G.
Anger explodes

I'm dirty, mean and mighty unclean
I'm a Wanted man
Public Enemy Number One
Understand
So lower your gamma
And put on some shades
Get ready for hate
I got it in spades
The man is back in town
Don't you mess around

(Chorus)

(Guitar Solo)

B.M.G. oi oi oi
B.M.G. oi oi oi
B.M.G. oi oi oi
B.M.G. oi oi oi

B.M.G.
It’s a blinding light (oi oi oi)
B.M.G.
And I'll lose the fight (oi oi oi)
B.M.G.
Graphics overload (oi oi oi)
B.M.G.
Anger explodes

Aye, the whiskey, laddie. Cures what ails ya!

I agree that the bmg n cf have graphic issues and i would like the bmgs to get tweaked as to make them more useful in threat level 10 situations. Other than that i have no problem with the 2. I have both oj cf and spanner pro. I mainly use them in pvp where they are very usful for me. Also, PLEASE dont use these in warmaster. That is the absolute worst time for these weapons (psa for the noobs lol).

My only problem with the BMGs is the effects that obstruct my vision, like the little shield animation, and when they cause graphics issues. During the Solstice Event, there would be so many people using BMGs and CFs at a major that my PS3 literally couldn't render anything but the map and my character model. If I wanted to play by myself, there are plenty of other great single player FPS and TPS titles out there.

What happens to other players when you play a Crimefighter.

Been inna expert coop with Crimefighters yesterday again. I just waited for them to play as i couldnt aim anything. I had to Blur rush to be there before them to have a chance to kill stuffs, at the end i scored more than them both with a courrier...
Pointless usin this "thing".

Thats where i experienced that a Crimefighter in the hands of another player causes some serious lag, sometimes even to the point of critting out. Plus the fact that if one player, you or someone else, is using that weapon in dark places and against a lot enemies no one gets to see a dang thing. Sure its effective against regular mobs (not bosses), but no fun for no one.

About the BMG enough things have been said...
- The healing does not compensate for the damage dealt by TL10 mobs, so its better to use a high DPS-weapon and start helping other to kill them baddies.
- It's blinding people's sight.
- It's wrecking some very nice loadouts based on low health/no shield in exchange for higher DPS.
- The infamous Honeycomb.

Personally i see someone using a BMG in my group as a very expendable member within that group. In a coop that means fighting with 3 players and carry a burden.

Crimefighter not skill based? can't just lock on to something and hit it...just like throwing a football best to arch it just right. or hit the ground at the right angle so it rolls to the enemy. if you just staight up try and shot it like an Smg or something you will most likely miss and have hella **** bonce around or come back and hit you.

The 3 most annoying weapons in the game - BMG, Crimefighter & Bloodhound. Don't get me wrong, I don't really have anything against heals or the other guns and for me I don't get much lag when people use them BUT it's the graphics effect these weapons cause that gets to me.

BMG & CF - Can't see anything to shoot at due to the graphics on the screen. 100% of the time I have to resort to just focusing on the crosshairs and if it turns red then I shoot. Not good for anyone if you're in something like a Warmaster since it significantly reduces the dps output. In the end it becomes a question of whether the users of these guns want a win or go home with some vendor loot.

Bloodhound - My god, the screen shakes so bad when someone uses this that it's literally impossible to target anything. In the end I resort to just 'spray n pray'.

Users of these weapons should note that you may think you're getting highest score but ... so what ? The Rng is so huge in this game that you could literally come in last and get an oj or first and still get green rewards. Trion really needs to revisit the issues with these weapons and soon.

Honestly I used a CF to complete my 5000 combat shotgun kills pursuit and I'm currently using a BMG until I get the skill maxed.

I have no idea why anyone would ever use a bmg after maxing as it is just the most useless weapon ever.

The CF, however, is actually pretty good in some scenarios. Luckily I play on PC so I don't have any issues with FPS drop while using it so I see no issue.

The people around the user are the ones that have issues on PS3.
