I'd still do about the same with a normal rocket soldier though, and in the beta I would constantly play whole hours just as a machine gunner as Nod or GDI and get like 20+ kills in tunnels and maps alone.

I don't gatling machine gun anymore unless I'm low on cash and I'm going on a beacon run with somone else. The gatling is far too precise where as I thought it should have a more wider cone of fire. It's basically the auto rifle but with more powerful/precise sniping capability.
