With the new weapon types coming out it seems like the Hmg as a projectile weapon should have its range slightly increased. I worry that at the onset of the new weapons release that the hmg will face a very difficult time without a bit more range. If we had a mid to long range anti infantry heavy weapon as a choice it would be ok , but we dont. |

Forge gun.
As an added bonus, the tear harvesting capabilities are second to none. |

the range is fine on it. its devastating at a close range like it should be. i agree with you on a new mid-range heavy gun but the hmg is fine the way it is. a real hmg does spray like crazy from the hip. maybe making a way to mount it on objects would be a good idea to increase range, but its fine for now |

Have to disagree with you here. The HMG is absolutely useless. I've been a heavy all through closed beta and it was fine until people started complaining about it. I honestly cant remember the last time I was killed by an hmg. I can easily out gun and hmg unless they get me in the back and I happen to be having a bad day.
It needs increased range, decreased dispersion. or increase damage. Something. Anything to make it effective. Ask any heavy and they will tell you it doesn't work |

The thing Im worried about is that as it stands our current AR out ranges the hmg. When the new weapons hit the AR is slated to have the least range. All weapon engagements will increase. I dont think I should be able to beat the rail rifle at long range fire , but I at least would like to be able to pepper the guy with a scrambler rifle and make him worry before I die. Yes I could skill into a long range light weapon , but would like a heavy weapon that can do the job. Im going to wait around for the new heavy weapons anyway , but little hope is always nice especially when hope comes with a swanky chart with numbers on it. |

Forge guns are fine if you are 1 on 1 and have the drop on them. That charge up time though can really do you in if they notice you. Most AR users can melt a heavy in under 2 seconds. |

I take out heavies with HMGs using my alt in a min scout suit and scrambler rifle. Doesn't even make me nervous unless they can get close. If not, I just stand there and shoot them about the head an shoulders. Usually have over half my 177 shields left when it's over with a dead heavy on the ground and another kill under my belt. And yes, I do think it's wrong when a heavy with an HMG doesn't scare me in my paper mache scout suit.
The HMG isn't fine. It's been broken and pissed all over. Only the deluded believe it should have a range shorter than an airsoft minigun as it currently does. |
