Nope. I say we keep it off. The last thing I need is for all proficient snipers to get what can essentially be used as an automatic sniper rifle.

You want that worthless

to litter the the MultiPlayer Games?

God help the person who actually wants to use that thing. My concern is that it would be replacing something useful and each time I ran over one accidently, I would end up with that blasted contraption in my hand.

The OICW, as John Mullins himself added in his recent interview, is way too complicated a weapon to use properly in most environments usefully (espesh when being shot at ). As far as I can see it would not be that useful except for in RMGs, where you have the time to mess about with the grenades and the lase system. In anything like close confines, it would be not much other than a normal AR with a scope.

The "Threat" system is unbalancing...

p.s. Make a "normal" poll next time, with yes and no answers...

I could just see a see of grenades falling out of the sky...

I forgot about the threat system. That would be very unbalancing, especially in RMGs. The falling sea of grenades would not be so bad, as you have to be using the scope and the lase to fire them, at which time your target has probably moved, and since if you move you unscope, which means you can't fire them anymore, you're a bit of a target.
The OICW would be perfect for defense, and good at taking out well dug in enemy defenses. However I cannot see its use in a small tight map like Raven or Kamchatka labs.

Bring it on to MP!
The 20mm grenades are useless, but I'll like the scope on it.

if it was toned down a bit so the 'threat' thing is removed, and maybe it is less damaging in sniper mode or something
