For non-Spartans, these weapon systems often requires a crew of more than one individual to function at optimum efficiency due to its operational complexity, such as requiring one person to load while another fires. The weight and bulk of the system often also necessitates multiple personnel for transportation. | For non-Spartans, these weapon systems often requires a crew of more than one individual to function at optimum efficiency due to its operational complexity, such as requiring one person to load while another fires.

When used by Spartans, these weapons are much larger than the standard shoulder-fired [[rifle|military service weapons]], and require two hands to heft. Consequentially, players move more slowly while holding them, and cannot throw [[grenades]] or [[melee]] opponents while holding the weapons, thus they become very vulnerable to enemy grenades and vehicles, since they almost can't be dodged. | |||
While originally designed to be fired from stationary mounts, Spartans can have been ripped off of their bases and carried around. Thus while they have limitless ammunition while in their mounts, once removed and carried the ammo they have becomes limited. Also, the accuracy of the turret can become more of a problem, being handheld of course. | While originally designed to be fired from stationary mounts, Spartans can have been ripped off of their bases and carried around.
