OK, so the prevalence of fat suits running AR's/MD's and now the rise of the Forge Gun Snipers has become such common place on the battle field we need to look at how the role of the heavy needs a rethink.
Personally; heavies should not be able to equip light weapons. It's basically some idiot with a crap gun game that needs to be protected by tons of EHP because he/she hasn't got the skill to run a proper suit. Make it so that heavies can only use heavy weapons and a sidearm.
Forge Guns; such a stupid weapon! It does more damage than a tank turret and cost significantly less. Having forge gunners hiding in the hills popping infantry like they are ants isn't what I think CCP was expecting the gun to be used for. There is no "fall off" on damage for the range and it can be damn near impossible to determine the location of the heavy (at least there is a sniper trail from a sniper rifle).
Forge Gun suggestions:
1) Increase the cost of forge guns to be in-line with tank turret costs; come on, they are pretty much the same thing, they should cost serious ISK.
2) Make forge guns ineffective against infantry; sure people will cry about this, but isn't the forge gun supposed to be an AV weapon??
3) Forge Guns should increase the sig radius of the heavy so they can be swarmed! Yes, that's right, you use your forge gun its expands your sig radius so much that my friends proto swarms can lock you!
Yes, I've been touched in a bad place by too many heavies.
Comments/trolls/grief welcome.

Lol dude this post seriously fails so hard. Rising the cost to the same as a turrent? Lol that's dumb, try using the gun and tell me how good you do with it. Please stop posting. And only allow heavies to use heavy weaponry only is dumb as heck. Hmg isn't where it should be power wise. And it's fun running around with a sniper in a fat suit lol Stop posting
Oh dude, did I suggest ways to mess up your game? Oh dear, sorry abt that. Would have been nice to have a proper response, so I will chalk this one under troll/grief. |

Pointless response is pointless.... but no, I'm an SMG scout FYI.

1. It's not a AV 2. The gun takes more skill than using a AR. you also have less survivability than a tank which is why it doesn't cost the same as a turrent. And before you say this hurts me stop sounding like a selfish a*s. i actually have almost every weapon in the game on this character at advanced level. So I know wtf I'm talking about when it comes to weaponry
Dude, you need to smoke something, your gunna have an heart attack before your 40 (unless you're 40 then dude your gunna have one soonGäó). Why so angry, suggestions are what make the game evolve, good and bad. |

Thank you for your time and effort.
While you said you disagree you seem to agree with me in certain areas, thanks again.

Strafing, open maps, and the crappy range and accuracy of the hmg have lead to this.....now the only truly effective weapon the heavy has is the fg .....this is what happens when you nerf stuff that doesn't need to be nerfed and buff things that just make your other nees worse.....
We have some awesome HMG's in our corp who bring out their FG's to f'up vehicles, seems you need to up your game instead of using the FG to make you feel better. |

That makes less sense than my idea!

lol, they are suggestions, pick one. Obv. they would counter/cancel each other if you chose them all.
Jathniel wrote: Sorry to hear that. Before you engage a heavy with a forge gun, be aware of your surroundings. It's generally NOT in your best interest to engage a FG with your whole body exposed; and when engaging from behind cover make sure that your cover is sufficient that a FG round cannot land right next to you. In other words, don't shoot at a forge gunner from behind a small box, shoot from behind a wide platform.
lol, the point is, "most" FG's are sniping these days, the pussies are happy to be on a mountain or top of a building in their fat suits knowing that snipers will have hard time taking down their EHP before they can simply back away and hide. You make out that most FG's are wandering the corridors and in CQC, not sure what map/server you're on, but where I play they are not CQC. |

Dimitri Rascolovitch wrote:in the description of the heavy suit, it says that it is capable of withstanding concentrated small arms fire, last time i checked, light weapons such as ARs and snipers are considered small arms, explain why a milita AR can kill a proto heavy tanked suit in 1 clip
The militia guy is actually a proto guy with maxed skills in AR and is stacking complex dmg mods? Or you're a **** fit proto? Or you don't have an escape car nearby.

I don't think any of my suggestions are a nerf to FG's, you need to re-read dude. Yes, you could say I'm looking to nerf heavies, and there is plenty of QQ in this thread to cover that. The point being using a FG should have consequences. |
