In regards to the XMG: after a painstaking few days in which I somehow managed to get the XMG to be my most-used weapon, I figured that it's actually better to only fire one minigun at a time. If you fire both, the accuracy is just horrible, especially when using rapid fire. It's still a shitty weapon though. It needs a patch more than any other weapon in the game.

Obviously, an increase in accuracy is needed for the XMGs (given that you're stationary whilst you're using them, you'd think the accuracy would be good) and perhaps a damage increase. Also, I know this can't be patched, but the fact that the lockdown mode is mapped to the d-pad on consoles really gives it a massive disadvantage. It's an awkward button to reach, especially considering everyone else can aim in about 0.1 seconds by using LT. It would've made more sense if the lockdown button was RB or LB or even LT.
