HMG is fine - the only change it's gone through since it's last buff is it over-heats faster and is easier to aim with with less recoil. The HMG QQ threads are just bad heavies wantings CCP to fix there problems for them.
I'm pretty much with Sota. Sure it sucks if you are out in the open and get caught. I suggest getting a LAV to ferry you about.
The HMG is very potent up close, and although it can be outmuscled when it is caught out of its optimal the same can be said about any gun.
Would it be nice if it had a slower rate of damage fall off? Sure, and I honestly think CCP will get there, but since they just removed the turn caps and bumped the strafe speeds, I think we should just chill out and let them get numbers on whats going on. |

Of course the trolls and whatnot's will have there say about my post. The most common is at least there is one less HMG/FG on the field. No what it means is less diversity in the game.
And what would make the HMG "not a joke" in your eyes?
Because right now, the heavy can still do its job up close. The heavy is lord of the hallways and tight spaces, provided he uses cover, is not an idiot, and doesn't try to rambo a whole crew.
In anything even remotely resembling open ground, the heavy gets chewed to pieces. This makes some degree of sense.
Heavies don't walk between flags, they die on route. Get that fatty a ride! |

You are supposed to be able to take on several persons. That is why you as a heavy are supposed to be area denial. One on one as a heavy is a slap in the face. We are supposed to chew thru anything that tries to take our position. Have you ever seen what a real HMG does in combat. There is a reason the enemy have to strategies to take out a machine gun nest and not solo it like an AR user can in this game. The heavy is a joke. If you say other wise you have no concept of what a battle is really like and have never fired anything above a standard rifle. I am proficient in the use of the 50. Cal, M230 Chain gun, and the M249 Saw so ya I know what the F*** I am talking about. Also have you never heard of the Phalanx system, this is what we need for anti air in Dust.
As soon as you went for the realism card your argument stops holding water.
This game is in no way realistic. Nuclear baseballs, auto tracking and corner turning magic missiles, not to mention things like the FG, or even the laser weaponry.
Second, this is a game, and needs to be balanced as such. There is no room for people who demand realism in a sci-fi shooter.
Lastly, in spite of your claimed use of those weapon systems, I find it dubious that you are actually as well versed in them as you claim. If you were, you would not compose an argument like you did, which quite frankly is a very childish response. You are essentially saying that if the game isn't made exactly how you want you will quit. Which is fine, I think you should quit, biomass your character and forget about this game.
Although I love the idea of a phalanx for AA work, given how soft dropships are, it would be more than a little overkill. But I appreciate that you went to wikipedia and looked up some weapon system numbers to try and lend some sort of weight to your argument. |

No its not a childish response, my response just shows the lack of understanding you say. Realism has no place in a game you say. You make me laugh, you apparently failed to have played a Tom Clancy, BF, or COD game. These are based on real life battles and real life equipment and they have been very successful. So your argument is null and void. Second, my experience in these weapons do exist and I have the paper work to prove it, Its called a DD214. If you think the military is all beans and bullets you need to educate yourself on DARPA and see what the future really does hold. First off over 200 years of family military heritage is what I stand on, not you, wilkipedia, or any other lame a** argument you can come up with. My ancestors, including myself have fought in one war or another from the Revolutionary war to current war on terrorism. So for that I am glad I can stand here and argue this with you because this shows freedom still exist.
I said that realism has no place in a game with nuclear baseballs. There is a difference. The next time that you can perform a charged up laser shot in BF, then we can talk about that. This game has almost no realism involved, and expecting it is certainly going to lead to you being disappointed.
My opinions on your service are immaterial, although I still find your claims highly dubious, if only for your seeming lack of ability to comprehend english, a skill normally valued in Defense related industries. Regardless, if you served, good for you.
I don't need an education in what the military is about, I served my tour under conditions that most American soldiers couldn't take. I know this because when Americans did come down to Guiana to do our jungle course, they invariably were quite surprised at how we did things.
If you fought in the war on terror, then there is a whole list of things I could call you, but that is a matter that does not need to be tread upon here, as it is both diversionary, and highly inflammatory. But good for you for supporting hegemony and being part of a war of aggression.
Finally, if you think that as an American you are still free, or that you have rights, you are sorely mistaken, and I genuinely feel bad for you. But if you did serve, you at least deserve respect for being willing to put your life at risk for what you believe in. |
