I see all these people saying Crouching and ADS reduces dispersion.

It reduces recoil. Dispersion is the random pattern the bullets fire within the cone, and crouching does nothing to that.

Actually you know what's helped me out a lot is I bought that long range HMG with the improved accuracy and the lower damage. The firerate makes up for the lack of damage, but I do find myself crouching almost everywhere I go now.... It's worth it though. I love my LRHMG.


Anyone tried that burst HMG? I'm afraid to buy it. Not a big fan of forced burst fire myself, but I'm wondering if the burst fire doesn't help with the way it builds up heat. Might get a pack of 20 if that's the case.

It does reduce. Try it sometime.

Been playing a heavy for months now. I have tried it, and it does nothing to DISPERSION. It does affect RECOIL. Furthermore, dispersion is a mechanic of the way the bullets leave the barrel. Why(even if it did, but it doesn't) would crouching reduce a mechanical function.

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

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.

thats a blatant lie, HMG does decent damage at 30 meters..

And I thought this was a thread about the trigger (sometimes) taking 2 clicks to get running.

Technically your bullets arent going anywhere considering the game is hitscan. So you just have crappy luck.

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.

Oh My God, yes... I forgot about that. When switching weapons and holding the fire button. If you push it before the weapon change is complete it ignores you. You have to release and press it after the weapon change is complete. That's not really helpful when fighting an enemy you noticed at the last moment...

But still I would say that the effective range is the biggest problem here. If a WWI modified machinegun for WWII (Browning M1919) has a killing range of 1400m why do I get 30% damage after 30m or so...

Really sorry, but you're saying that it is justified by a piece of script that isn't very robust anyway... OK, so let's run with the script...

So what happened with the Mass Drivers..? Didn't they read the script like an EVE age Roadrunner vs Coyote..? They never studied law..?

And if the fighting is now only close range, do the suits still carry those sensors..? Wouldn't they have been removed when they became obsolete..?

Has that piece of script gone through a moderate "what if" check..?

P.S. Where did you find that..? I'd like to read the entire thing... I like Sci Fi fiction...

wouldn't it be awesome if every bullet hit like the AR *gazes wistfully towards CCP*
