interesting, HMG kill me at 35m at regular basis.

no offense, but only bad players using cheap suits get killed by HMGs at that range.

btw, some people get shot up by ARs while an HMG takes the kill at that range. I would know as I've gotten kills past 50m already. I got the last bullet in...doesn't mean the HMG is great at range.

thats a blatant lie, HMG does decent damage at 30 meters. you wont outgun an AR at that range but this was not the point, nor it is the heavies role. there should be a downside if you are able to demolish stuff sub 20m with 900 dps and this downside is range.

he is actually closer to the truth jack. Dont forget it IS a minigun that the guy is toting, and a heavy weapon at that. It should have that fear about it, similarly to being hit directly by a forge. Should it be sniping out to 50 meters? no

Should it be able to still do relevant DPS past 20 meters? ya

you want a weapon being able to throw 900 dps past 20 meters? whats next? shotgun swarm launcher like back in the closed beta? Roll

it does not matter what the guy is rotating, it might be a kitty cannon or his pen|s. there should be drawbacks to keep balance as long as it is able to throw out 900 dps sub 20m and demolish other suits like no tomorrow.

forge gun is not an argument, it is viewed as OP by the majority of the community and obviously there is something wrong with the weapon. it is hard to balance though.

Save up some SP, if you don't have some banked already, invest in an ADV assault suit + ADV SR or AR and you'll have ALLOT more fun. I'm tired of fighting for heavies. CCP doesn't care. People should just stop using the class and they'll see for themselves that the class is laughable atm.

You're an idiot if you think it does 900 dps past 1m. The dps calculation is done by bullet dmg per second according to the ROF, IF every bullet hits. You think every bullet hits? Have you seen the bullet spread? Anything past 2-3m and it starts losing DPS simply because of how inaccurate it is.
