The amount of terrible players and sheer assholes in this game is appalling. For example: I've had a number of games where I set up uplinks on rooftops and put nanohives down, then if I die I'll switch to FG and proceed to blast people. What do some of these logiscrubs/blueberries do as soon as they spawn? They'll sit there and throw grenades non stop to destroy the nanohives, then jump down, die, spawn, die, spawn, die, rinse and repeat until uplink is gone.
Not only does no one drop equipment to help out, they'll purposely go out of their way to screw the rest of the team up by consuming nanohives/uplinks while not providing anything useful. It's mind boggling how selfish and utterly stupid people can be in this game. Then I'll get TEAMMATES sending me hatemails like "HAHA NO NANOHIVES FOR YOU!"
I can't do anything but laugh in those situations. I just turn off the game and play in the mornings when the kiddies are at school. I notice that the r-tards tend to come out in the evenings when I assume the CoD-kids are back from school and need their daily dose of douchebaggery. |

You stay on rooftops with a FG and you call other players stupid and selfish?
I get 50 kills in a match and destroy tanks/enemy installations throughout the match, so yes. I believe I have the right to call people stupid and selfish. Besides, my FG is one of my three primary fits. I have 22m SP so I'm by no means a dedicated FG.
I spawn with a Logi fit, drop proto uplinks and nanohives everywhere for the team. Switch to my Assault fit if it's necessary, otherwise I play FG to help the team with vehicles/suppression. What is it exactly you expect a forge gunner to do? Be some frontline warrior? I specced into it so I could have a dedicated AV fit, and it so happens that altitude is necessary for a FG to be effective. |

I specced into it so I could have a dedicated AV fit, and it so happens that altitude is necessary for a FG to be effective. Well you got me there. I suppose its the rising hatred I feel towards the FGs. I had a string of games yesterday with 2-3 FG deaths and almost no other deaths, every single game. It gets frustrating to fight "in the trenches", killing people left and right, barely making it to cover alive, and then getting blown away by somone I can't reach or even see for that matter, taking my 700+ HP away in a single shot, chilling 500 meters away up on some rooftop. Its calleed a "cheap death". I keep putting a 200K logi suit with all proto equipment to "help out the team" and I have it fitted with the best weapons which means that I have to play well against other infantry to be effective and not least keeping myself alive. The forge guns are in its current state way too effective vs infantry, especially for being the definate best and being 1 of 2 dedicated AV weapons in the game. Constantly having people up high, will with their uplinks in place often make half or more of a team camp in that high position, it just leads to lots and lots of boring games. You can stay away, or leave battle, fighting back is as far as I know impossible. The Dust maps are full of these camping positions all over, IMO the maps cater too much to the static camping sort of players and its very hard to get close since we ofthen have to cross wide open areas with no cover to get there.
I totally agree with you on almost every point. I made a thread a while back claiming FGs were broken, showing two Dominations I had back to back where I went 60-0. People called me out on a number of things but in the end I was just trying to show how easy it is to completely massacre people with a FG. I used to be in the same boat as you man. About ~18m of my SP is spent in ground level infantry.
FGs are simply too effective at anti-infantry in their current state. This is partially due to map design and partially due to how ridiculous splash damage is. I use a FG pretty regularly and even I will happily agree that it's too powerful against infantry. It's got a 3m splash radius that does ~380 base splash damage (that's my FG with 2x damage mods and Prof. 5). The splash radius should be reduced to half that to make almost-direct shots critical to doing damage instead of nearly-direct. Right now as long as I land a shot in your general vicinity you're guaranteed to have half your health stolen away. And it's only a 2.1s charge for the second one to blow you away.
I agree it's unfair but if people aren't taking advantage of it CCP will never nerf it. 1.7 is supposedly going to take a look at AV so we will see if they will adjust the FG by then.
