Fair enough.

I don't run heavy suits, so I really don't know how it is. But I know if I see a heavy out in the opened that bastard is mine! Heavies seem to be best for holding down an area (objective, outpost, ect). My problem with resistance increases is the heavy will still be a sitting duck out in the open (where it's not suppose to be super effective), but it would start approaching the line of OP in the area of holding ground (its intended role).

What the heavy needs is less running around in the open and more hanging out near cover/enclosed spaces.

But that won't happen. I will continue seeing HMG heavies running around in the open areas of Manus Peak or the bridge map etc, where I will continue to gun them down with a TAR. And at first they will fire back, but then as I get them into armor while I'm still at 80% shields, they will try to run away. But they won't make it. Because they just don't get the class they chose to play as.

And then they will come here to post threads about heavies needing some love. And I will smile as I read them.

Not entire maps no, but there are the outposts and facilities and bunker buildings where HMGs and shotguns dominate. The new maps in particular are very CQC friendly around the objectives.
