My thoughts: 6 barreled fires very fast, but isnt too powerful. 100 rounds per "drum" Bullets are linked, and drum fed. You can find ammo bags with LOTS of bullets in them, or a strand with, like, 50 bullets. Long reload sequence (3-4 seconds to make it fair) Very futuristic, with the animal-style bungie like to put in their weapons. Accurate when fired in bursts. Very innacurate with continuous fire. I think that would be sweet. Dual-Wielding? =)

It would depend on how they balanced it. It might be a good idea, they don't really have any heavy weaponry that we know of besides the rocket launcher, so that might be a good idea.

Dual-weild a minigun? Are you crazy? That would make you look like this crappy game, what's it called... Serious Sam? Too goofy. Sometimnes it's best to leave things as it is no matter how futuristic you want it to be.

I think the mounted chaingun is enough of heavy weaponry. You see heavy weapons are cool but they have too have a weakness or else everything would be too easy.

I just thought it would be fun, if in one or two parts of the game, you get a minigun, and you can mow down hordes of covenant with it.

Yep, I'm very happy with the LAAG. It's big (in fact so big, it has to be mounted!) and has enough firepower. Pretty mean to me. And the 3-longbarrel design is cool making it pretty acurate for a minigun.

Bungie is very clear they want all the awesome powerful weapons on the vehicles that's why they took the minigun out of Halo 1

Dual SMGs give you the same effect.
