►Hey guys! Today in Planetside 2, Daybreak has announced that they will be changing the movement speed multipliers on the Vanu LMGs (SVA-88, Orion, Betelgeuse) from 0.75 to 0.50.

►The LMGs will be given a buff in the accuracy department, but their movement speed of 0.75 while ADS will be removed. Even if this DOES happen, I'll probably most likely still use the Orion/Betelgeuse -it's just too awesome :) So, no this is NOT good bye!

As of today, the changes are still only on the PTS and not on live.

►LMGs are going to see some changes on PTS based on feedback, these changes going live will be highly dependent on community reception and feedback. So when the changes hit test, go try them out and discuss!
