Meanwhile, HS with headset is getting all the rage.
 * Minigun is not easily obtained compared to the Armed Guitar Case. The event is limited-time and takes about many hours up to many days to complete. Armed Guitar Case, however, is obtained with only a few clciks with no effort at all.
 * It does require skill. Almost all Minigun users suck because they use no strategy other than charging, and they have bad aim. That's why I kill other Minigun users with a Minigun, because I know how to use it effectively.
 * Yes powerful, but like I said, it kinda sucks without skill.
 * Most players have the Minigun which is their only weapon that can compete other OP weapons (Especially Battle Ram and Armed Guitar Case). So I don't see why being overused is a problem.
 * It's hated by a lot of people because they suck or they overreact to it without thinking.
 * You can easily own Minigun with Howitzer Gun at mid/long range. Close range weapons beats it easily at close range too, and mid-ranged weapons if at the right time.
 * They're helping your team, aren't they? This is not FFA where your "unfairness" happens.

I was always wondering, why aren't you hating on Armed Guitar Case when it does a better job than Minigun? It can be weakened with a MX head, but it's still powerful when there are heads that increase its damage Let's face it. The Minigun is a weapon that noobs can use to compete against all those overpowered weapons (Flare gun, Armed guitar Case, etc.). So, the developers should never nerf it. There are some weapons that can counter Minigun at close, mid, or long range. Some of those weapons can be earned easily, with in-game cash, such as the Howitzer, the Blunderbuss...

Plus the thing that Yarrrrr wrote up there... Can't argue with that.
