TR lacks high flyer LMG's like the EM6 and overpowered SVA-88, but I doubt this is the main reason why MCG gets vastly used.
The MCG is the only TR MG that has pinpoint long range accuracy and devastating short range dps (if you prefire it, before turning around corners). Which makes it a good all-round gun in theory and probably explains its popularity.
The problem is that it sucks in either of these roles and it's use a team suppression weapon is also lacklustre (you're better off with a T9 Carv-S or T16 with extended mags). It doesn't fit any role particularly well where the Lasher is a great team weapon and the Jackhammer a good high skill shotgun.
