Hate it, ruins the fun of the game, when it has 300 bullets, and you run and spray and the bullets randomly hit you too often.
 
Lol my hate for this weapon is astronomical. It should be removed or narrowed to 1 or 2 players a team.
 
I don't play it, but I know a lot of people that would leave permanently if that were removed. Maybe reducing it like D2 may be a nice common ground if enough people want it gone.
 
I would be sad to see it go myself, if it was removed. I've switched to a P90 as of late for faster movement.

But there is nothing like stopping a B rush in its tracks when you're completely outnumbered. I am terribly inconsistent though so I get to pull this off about 1 time in 7 or so. When it did happen it was pretty sweet.

I also agree the CTs needed something that can do a single head shot kill other than the scout.

I would not mind if the number per team was taken down from it's current level.
 
I don't think it should be removed.. it's useful for rushes, especially in a 64 player server on D2. Now, doesn't mean I like to use it... kinda is for noobs :P
 
But it's so satisfying getting that one lucky scout headshot off on a spray'n'prayer :D
 
I voted even though i never play dust2 now. im a rebel like that

But it's so satisfying getting that one lucky scout headshot off on a spray'n'prayer :D

Im a little late to chyme in here but I think it should be limited to 1 per team
 
They Just Spray and Pray. 99% of the time, They get the kill when they use an m249. At least reduce it to 3 per team.
 
The m249 should be wildy inaccurate to spray and unable to 1 shot, like it is in CS:GO. If servers weren't auto $16k it would be fine. However, this gun is way too strong to be bought every round especially on T-side Italy, where Ts can just hold an angle and spray. Trading kills as CTs is nearly impossible because the m249 has 100 bullets, and the T can just hold mouse1 as CTs peek. This is one of the primary reasons Italy always seems to be T-side dominant.

I just see players running around holding mouse1 and somehow headshotting everyone in their way, because the spray doesn't spread enough, the running accuracy is too high, and the sheer amount of bullets almost guarantees a stray headshot. I see people getting randomly headshotted in long hall entrance from T house. I see T's running through apartments holding mouse1 and annihilating everyone in their path.

Preferably the m249 should be removed completely but this would probably cause an outrage of the players who only use the para. I think it should be limited to 1 per team, 2 maximum. This way, the para can only be used to hold one angle (or two), and CT's can communicate to either avoid the para or flank/nade the player. Another option is to allow 1 awp per team and ban the para, because awps can be traded after the first kill due to the delay between shots. The most important outcome for the limitation of the para is balancing the T and CT side. Another positive outcome is raising the skill level and making the server more competitive. I cannot think of a negative outcome besides the people who exclusively use the para have to learn how to use a real rifle. Arguably, this is a positive outcome because it forces them to practice their aim.
