Special Fire Modes, emphasis Chain Fire
Hipster Scumbag:
Very excited to play the new version! Some things seem a little easier in a good way, like how Hell's Arena is worthwhile since Cacodemons no longer have more powerful shots than Hell Knights (thanks kornel).
I'm wondering, what exactly does the chaingun's chain fire do? It seems to kill things better than just plain firing, but what's the catch?

The catch is that once you start chain-firing, you can't do anything else until all enemies in your line of sight are dead. I died to a group of imps on standard game HNTR this way whilst trying to test chain-fire out... Since then I've vowed never to use it again, as trying to use it against more powerful enemies would only make the effect worse. Imagine not being able to duck out of a vile's or mancubus' line of sight or not being able to whip out a large med pack in the middle of a battle... well. that's what chainfire does, whilst providing almost no compensation in return...
In short, don't use it...
I agree with you about Hell's Arena though... Indeed, it might even be too easy now, as on my last AoSh run (tragically cut short when an error on my part caused my marine to melt in the lava pits with three enviro-packs still on him) I got through it with little trouble using a basic shotgun... This was on HNTR though...
Hipster Scumbag:
well, it seemed to come in handy when i was locked in a last-ditch spray-and-pray with no healthpacks against a hell knight in the Arena... what's the bonus? Seems like better accuracy once you're warmed up?
Dervis:
It spits more bullets basically...
Regular chaingun 4-4-4-4-4-4-4-4
Chainfire 3-4-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6
And you can cancel it by hitting the escape key by the way,

It even comes up with "Choose target or abort.."
