I love the idea of an armored beast with an HMG so I began skilling slowly into it but it was going terribly for weeks. Going head to head with mediums at optimum (that I thought) ranges for me, had me losing half of the time, or more.
I did not like it and did not understand how to make it work, blaming my lack of specilaization or general UP of the heavy, and cursing the gods.
But then I had an eye opening moment, seing the Dark cloud come into a random pub and go 24/0 in a heavy/hmg, in the midst of the firefight the whole time, something I had just thought not possible.
So I struggled on.
And then I crouched.
And the angels sang.
It's a weird crutch (I am used to it from my old AQ2 days), and I don't think the heavy is by no means perfect as it is, but tactical crouching with the hmg literally melts faces like no other weapon I have used (except for OHK's)
Crouching might work down a corridor, but if you're trying to avoid nade spam and MD spam, you're literally a sitting duck in this situation. I will admit crouching has a magical effect on bullet spread, but there should be a skill to reduce that.
Without a doubt. Lots of the anger toward the HMG would be solved with a sharpshooter skill.
For the vets it's strange to see people run toward heavies. In closed beta the HMG was feared. They should be a force again. It'll take another slot for a plate and a buff to the HMG for it to happen.
I wouldn't mind them having a built in armor rep as well.
Just make them more expensive like they used to be, but make them godly.

Took a 2 week brake because of 1.5 not giving out new heavysuits or guns but I came back and this week I stopped playing as my heavy and went AR with shield base and armor base. Im going to clown on my self in this next few statements.
Heavys are a joke. Yes the huge natural EHP we have is nice and the HMG is nice but the fact is a Caldari assault can have the same amount as EHP as a heavy at base and move faster. Yes you can put more EHP on your heavy but there isnt any point. The SLOWER you are the MORE BULLETS you take.
Shoot a heavy in the head and they drop. Heavys HMG is very hard to have the bullets land on there head before the AR hits you in the face 20x with are huge head hitbox multiplier. Yes shooting at them will help after 2.3 seconds of missing bullets. You have to let the gun warm up before it starts working correctly. Then you have to worry about OVERHEATING NOW. If we crouch are HEAD IS VERY OPEN. It really doesn't help. I have died more from crouching then run,gun, and aim all at once.
In PC unless your a killer with the Six Kin Burst with Red battery's to run into there face FAST or you get the drop on them with the Boundless there isn't a place for heavys other then FG'ing up in the sky. If you have played against me in PC you know ill be running at you so my Six Kin if I want the kill before your Core hits me hopefully.
If you see a heavy moving slow at you what do you do in PC or PUB?
A) throw a CORE
B) shoot them in the face
C) both.
D) run into your team.
I see alot of C in PC and in PUBS mostly D.
I personally love being a Fat Boy and still might play as him but If someone ask's me "should I be a heavy" i will tell them no. Its a waste of SP. Limit to guns,suits, and module slots make this class VERY hard to play as. If you see a heavy in a Pub match and they are doing good. Dont bag on them. Give them props. To any heavy's that still play as your heavy Start QQ'ing!!! THINGS GET FIXED WHEN YOU QQ. I am a heavy and I do support this message.
I have an alt that sat gaining passive SP.
5.3 mil SP
L3 Sentinal
L2 Prof HMG
L3 plates
I can pack about 1300 HP on the suit.
I do okay with it. Running about a 2.0, but it is absolutely ridiculous when a guy in a BPO assault with an exile stands toe to toe with you and guns you down.
It made me really feel for heavies. I think one of the worst things was removing the health indicator of team mates without ADSing them. I can count on one hand how many times someone has thrown a rep tool on me in around 50 matches of playing.

Well closed beta heavy compared to what we have now would be godly. |
