It'd be great if one of the devs who posted in the Q&A could answer this.

The HMG has an issue that's been carried over from Crysis 2 in MP. When you pick one up that you or someone else has dropped, the accuracy suffers hugely. Rather than the pinpoint reticule you get after ripping it off, it becomes quite wide regardless of crouching or movement. This is also the case if you're the host even after ripping it off.

My question is, which is the glitch? Having great accuracy when not host and after ripping, or poor accuracy when host or picking up off the floor.

And is it likely to get fixed, whichever it is? It's actually pretty useless with the lowered accuracy, so I would hope that isn't the intended behaviour.

There are people who main the HMG and this inconsistency hurts the playstyle.
