The Verdict on the SMG.

   In my opinion Ben pulled off the Sub Machine Gun or SMG pretty well. When the idea of more weapons was tossed around many feared it would unbalance the gameplay, people liked how trenches and cover were often built instead of the generic run and gun gameplay we often see in games today. Now I find myself using the SMG quite often, it could only be becuase it still has that new gun smell, or just becuase of how different the game plays for me when I use it. Instead of focusing my attack on players far off in the distance entrenched, I switch my focus to trying to destroy the enemies cover and at time going over the top and getting some kills. With the SMG you are able to quickly decimate enemy structures from a good distance leaving the opposing team bare and defenseless. I also find it very useful when working with a rifleman. The SMG soldier can destroy the blocks the enemy is hiding behind and the rifleman can quickly headshot the enemy. So, how do you like the new SMG? Let me and Ben know by voting in the new poll and replying to this post.

I find it a really good weapon and I use it all the time, and use the rifle only once or twice in a day. I would now really appreciate to see if there was a new weapon such as a shotgun. It would be deadly in close quarters, but at farther distances it would useless. If the author of the game is going to implent the shotgun, I would like to see rifle to have less power as nobody would need a shotgun if the rifle can kill a person in one headshot.

@RjGleb
The rifle already became less powerful with 0.54, esp. at long range.

Usually being a defensive player, I use the rifle most of the time, but when I mine into an enemy strong point and let loose the SMG does a really good job, and I don't find myself sprayed at long range that often by SMG wielders, so I think for the time being it is a good fit for the game.

But what other weapons are needed? No shotgun or MG, roles are already filled. Some kind of cannon, artillery, that would require team work to operate but bring very heavy long range firepower into the game, and the best block destroying ability. It would make the game feel a lot more like warfare with firebases and disruption missions than the ceaseless hunt and kill method of wandering players.

I love the SMG myself. Now if only there is a true HMG.
