Reasons FG is OP:
Have you ever wanted a weapon that has a powerful range and powerful against all types of entities even at close range or any range well the assault forge gun is your pick counter any infantry and vehicle.
Even at close range, eh? I take it you're also good at no-scoping with a sniper rifle.
Forge Gun on a tower without ladder access is OP against vehicles because you have to fly the Forge Gunner's favorite prey up to kill him. It's only a nuisance against infantry up there, however, and less effective than your average sniper.
And it isn't just Forge Guns that are good way up thar. They're just the ideal weapon for defending the position.
IMO, Forge Gun's OPness is and always has been a map design issue. There should be no remote, defendable positions with only one method of access anywhere on any map. |

There is plenty of ways to counter the Forge Gunner on a tower. I detailed them in my original post. I will reiterate. Spawn a DS in your ground spawn then immediately take it to the flight ceiling. Both of these locations are out of FG range. While at flight ceiling hover over the tower, then wait for your squad to distract or kill the Forge Gunner, then drop down and take out his uplinks/nanohives. Done!
Seems I missed that tidbit. I'll file it under N for Neat Tactics. Neato.

Shotgun = cone of damage
Plasma Cannon = parabolic shot
Scrambler Pistol = fast semi-automatic ROF
If you never, ever miss a Scrambler Pistol shot, CQC Forge Gun is for you. You can't use it for splash damage in CQC without nailing yourself as well.
The only thing I've ever seen reliably killed in CQC with Forge Guns is HMG Heavies. Pour a 40 on the curb for fattie on fattie violence... |

I put on a militia heavy and militia forge( militia rep, no grenades)..went 12/0 in a few games.

I usually play as a CQC sniper.( this is a relative statement as in I'm within 100m of my target usually).
I hope you're self-aware enough to understand why your mileage varied. |
