The M249 sits sat, neglected, unused, alone. Valve pls fix.

10:41 - M249's price
Honestly i would just remove it. It serves literally no Purpose
The price of the M249 shall not be changed! It is there to troll new players from COD!
if they make the spray pattern more like a rifle i think 4000 would be reasonable
I don't even know why I watch so many CS:GO videos. It's too hard and I barely play it. 😆
4:29 silvers after playing mm
I used an m249 in comp once and shit on the enemy team
you should do a video like this for the byzon. I recommend changing the base damage and accuracy. But you can do whatever the hell you want :)
How to fix m249: Faster RPM, priced at 4260 and faster movement.
That's a complex issue! Ehhhhh, let's ballpark it at $2,500
1400$ Obviously
I main negev
Wouldn't it be a cool game mode if there was an active market for equipment round to round. The more a weapon is bought by the players, the more expensive it gets while neglected weapons get cheaper.
missclick ruins like 3 rounds
1200$
$4000 and I'm using it I hate the negev as it is atm, so I'd prefer a simple price reduction over a bad rework
i think it should be $3,350. $3,200 seems too close to the other rifles but $3,500 seems too far based on the weapon's stats. This makes the most sense to me.
It's just the more expensive and shitty negev, the gucci negev.
I geniunely thought m249 was good because how the trailer demonstrated it and when i bought it on nuke i was very much disappointed
- Increase its price to $8000 - Give it the same damage as the Deagle
@Cristia1V0 Or make the base damage like 45. Would kill in 3 shots at any range. For the price of 8k I doubt it would be competitively disruptive. Would be close the balanced imo. Also give it max wall penetration so it doesn't lose much damage when wallbanging.
That would be fucking ridiculous
gaygun exist.
This video just makes me wish we had the old Negev back. It was an absolute headshot machine. Make the m249 the old Negev and I'll love you forever Valve.
$200, only viable on pistol rounds lol
change the p90, it’s a lightweight minigun
Why TF do I get this gun over and over again in death match?!
2200-2500 at the max or raise the stats on it.
$6900
m249 is just an Ak with more bullet
9:30 I tough he said "an autistsniper" lmao
Can't they just change it to fit the purpose of the old negev. It used to be super fun lol.
2800$ would be a fair price for what it does now. Those niché cases where it is actually useful. In most cases it would still fair worse than the M4 or Famas, but for some ultra niche situations when your enemy probably have a forcebuy round with upgraded pistols, armour and maybe a SMG or two, it would serve as a decent B anchor gun. If I had to rework the M249 myself, I would make a funtion where its current spray pattern is the same when standing, but much reduced side-to-side sway when crouched. This would make it good for defending, but not so good for attacking as Terrorist. In that case I think the gun should be 3600$ or so, such that it is still a viable niche alternative, and not a troll buy as it is not.
There should be less guns in general
What about reduce a bit it price, but also add an important increase of the kill award? It would be the money clutch weapon
It would be cool if it had a bipod, being able to mount on any ledge with the accuracy being that of the controlled Negev spray after 10 bullets.
They should just bring back the old negev for 5700$. It was truly a high risk high reward weapon since it had enourmous spray and was just used for pushing spots over with brute force. It was such a cool niche
I mean, I often have the situation where I shoot an enemy twice in the chest with a deagle and he still needs a 3rd hit to kill him on mediocre ranges.
Get Some Buy Binds Or Else You'll Accidentally Buy This Thing
Why not make the fun free but inflict a cost upon firing the weapon
m249 should have the old negev's stats instead of just being an m4 with extended mags
the m249's recoil should be similar to the negev, as if it was only for ct, negev would be only for t side and it would be buffed and more expensive ( negev ~2400 m249 ~2750 or something like that)
0$ starter gun
Keep the price and bump up the damage to 42
Maybe up it's price to 6k, but add a bipod and a laser on it, then remove the crosshair. Pinpoint accuracy while bipod is deployed, barely even usable when it's not. The Suppressive AWP that spews lead.
I haven't played an FPS in years and I've never played CSGO, yet here I am binging these videos...
1
the bullet is only the hard projectile part of the round, it's a 150 r o u n d belt, not a 150 b u l l e t drum
Use it 1 tap gun without reload
999k :D
I like it at its current price, when you're up like 13-0, there is no better weapon to show the other team just how much better you are than them.
Chaos insurgency YEEEEE
So it's a famas with a big mag?
it should pay YOU, then maybe id use it.... but only up or down 10 rounds
When I was starting out on playing csgo, I thought the m249 was a good choice since "more expensive means better quality." I was wrong and started hating it.
$0.50
When you accidentally click 2 4 instead of 4 2 in the buy menu 😔🚬
Just switch the m249 and the negev and revert the negev, I miss the sound of pure destruction :(
Imo in 1.6 most of the weapons where pretty useless and existed so the game feels varied, and players quickly realized what guns are a real deal in this game(m4 ak awp deagle) and this was carried to a newer games, in csgo devs tried to make other guns more appealing by making, for example, farm guns, but for mgs they are pretty much arcade guns as of now and exist as a leftover, I think devs need to drop them the same as shield
M249 - The Biggest Loser
Useless gun.
3.1k
Either reduce the price and slightly tweak the weapon or make it godlike and make it more expensive
"Outta this game"
I liked the old negev very much, it worked like a chainsaw, it just shredded players on shotgun range but was pretty useless further away because of the recoil. I really don't get why they changed the negev to be this gimmicky version of an lmg while the m249 which has always been boring was not changed. the old negev maybe wasn't worth the money but at least it was fun. i mean look at the beast fistream.info/work/videot/h9eHsc6ZgKqnumA
Unrelated to the video, but what if we change the stats to make the M249 EXACTLY like the AK-47, but with a 100/150 ammo magazine? Then we price it at 4000$
recommended
I think the devs accidentally gave the negevs intended recoil pattern to the m249 and haven't found out yet lol. Switching them would imo make the m249 well worth it's price. The role of machine guns for me is just area denial. You get 15 seconds solid stream of "don't you fucking dare walk through that door" before reloading, and unlike the molotov, it can be aimed and reloaded. Negev is better for me because it is more accurate
The problem isn't its price, it's the stats that it has.
Drop the price to about 4250, raise the damage by a bit and overall accuracy, and boom. It's great.
I Wouldn't miss either of these guns if they were removed, they barely impact the meta outside of the memes and trolling silvers. Negev is far too cheap IMO, just because of how much map control you can get out of it and how often I see randoms getting triple sprays during a B rush.
2600$
Could you make a video about the R8 Revolver? Personaly I think it should have its own slot, so you are able to buy it in one round and not potentionally throw the game because you don't have the Deagle equipped
it should be $2
m249 = 2100$ negev = 3300$
Why buy anything other than Nova/Dual Elites?
I will buy that garbage for not a penny more than 3k honestly
Want some free m249? Take it from pubg
before i see this video i say min 3200 max 4200 and actual 3700
why ? couse its simply not as good as the ak and especialy not as the aug you need to much training for this gun alsow its like good for wallbangs and supressing maybe but other than that you like gotta try hard to hit shit with that ore you camp like idk what + spam and have luck
Dude İf you know how to use negev you can kill awps at car from double door. From car to pit. İts Really effective for ct and t in dust 2
The M249 should be a risk and reward weapon, it's stats being like a buffed AK-47, with of course, the risk of the enemy killing you and getting it. Sort of like the Autosnipers, only balanced.
Why is tour voice so smooth??
It's not a drum! It's a belt container as these are both belt fed weapons.
FIstream please fix
Kisss
I think they can change its spray pattern into a much circler variant and lower its price to between $2600-$3300. By doing so, then people use this weapon in suppressing site entrances when they planted their bombs. Also, it can be a real lethal weapon against thin corridors as well.
With that, it can be a weapon between SMG and rifle. And also a weapon which people prefer in certain conditions.
Easy: negev > M249, M249 cost less than negev. it should cost 1000 to 1700, in my opinion it should cost 1500
Famas my favorite rifle
This video shows how much work you put to your videos, great job!🇨🇱😊
2.450$ price tag 450$ killing reward IMO just with these two changes, the weapon could actually have some use. Obviously not in the PRO scene (PROs use like 20% of the weapons of the entire game) but in more casual matchmaking and other matches. It is effectively better than a FAMAs or Galil but not quite as good as an AK or M4. Bizon, Dual Beretas, R8 Revolver, Sawed-off and M249 are literally the most useless weapons in the game right now.
I think they should have changed the m249 to what the negev is today, and put the negev as it was before but with a lower price. The negev was a viable option because of the fire-rate, and the m249 would serve the role the negev is at the moment.
i just want old negev
it would b interesting if they added a cobra scope or sum to it experimentaly
The thing nobody realizes about the Negev is that it is actually pretty accurate, just to a point up and to the right from the crosshairs
m249 should be $1000 so you can buy a team’s worth with one buy :D edit: nvm just make the firerate 40K rpm
I am no CS pro (Only 200+ hours played), but I think that overall the more "effective" a weapon is, the higher the price (with 3 guns having exceptions for this rule). The Negev should be 2000-2100 and the M249 should be 3200-3500 in my opinion.
6:57 that's really bad for the gun... the carry handle is so you can have something to grab onto while you switch barrels... it shouldn't actually be carried by it it can fuck it up
They just make the m249 do a crap ton of damage. I already learned the spray control
excuse me but at 2:15 said the "negev's drum" but actually the correct terminology is belt-fed. Can you please edit the video to correct this error? thank you
I still haven't get used to SS furry profile...
Could have done a shorter video
why does philip look like Dr House`s brother Dr Shed
It should be like at most 4.000 and have a slightly better accuracy and damage or else Negev overpowers it
5:26 Of course the FAMAS is more centralized... It's a French weapon after all ;)
