    So my idea is basically just to help prevent minigun spamming. I've noticed it is extremely easy to win ffa while using the minigun and people just randomly shoot while spinning around to get kills. Anyways, I was thinking that there could be a bar on the side of your screen while using the minigun to display the "overheating". As you shoot non-stop the bar steadily increases until full which you then have to stop shooting to let it cool down before spamming again.
    Lets say you can shoot the minigun for 10 straight seconds before it overheats (bar is full) and then it takes another 5 seconds for it to cool down (bar is empty) again (This time can be changed if needed). This would also help it become more realistic to original cod.
    Hope you like the idea!

    I honestly really like this thought.
    This may upset the minigun users, but the general population will enjoy this.
    But if this is implemented, something of it may need a little tweak so it will still be of want.

    This is a pretty good idea, I know how many times I have played infect as a zombie with the last person alive having a minigun or a law, it gets annoying. xP

    They might have to tweak with the times to get it just right, but other than that it should be a nice addition.

    What kind if bar do you suggest we use? Only thing I can think of is doing something with the score board, but that wouldn't look too good.

    I will try to find a picture

    http://cloud-2.steampowered.com/ugc/1081137251576469916/248E4A8F6E5491BE5C31E9D3C94149998571541F/

    I have an idea! What if the durability bar of the minigun was the timer? We could go about this one of two ways.

    A.) The durability bar reaches zero and breaks. Then the player had to wait for new one to pop into their inventory.
    B.) The durability bar goes only goes to one. Once the bar reaches one the player has to wait a certain amount of time for it to count back up to 100%. The player can also use the weapon, yet not going to one, making the recharge rate a little bit faster.

    Use the Dragon Heath bar (the name of the bar being: "Minigun Overheat"). When the gun overheats, fire particles generate and the player has to wait 10 seconds for the bar to deplete and reach zero, like in Call of Duty games. If the player doesn't reach 100% overheat and the gun is cooling down, the gun can still fire. It's only when the overheat bar reaches 100%, then the player must wait.

    Give it forward recoil so it pushes them towards the zombies... Jk

    Edit: That would be possible because of a piston system that pushes the recoil forward.

    Using the boss bar just seems a little to0 much. Visually not fitting. I suppose if they added it, it would only appear while you held the minigun. Or only be up there when you needed to recharge.

    I find mingun fine how it is. You can easily beat it if you are smart.

    This would be really helpful. If you have scavenger and a mini gun, you can just spam and get ammo.

    That would make soo easy to get out of map. I don't believe recoil is coming back anytime soon.

    Because people were abusing it knock themselves out of the map.
