My alt runs a basic heavy and HMG (ok, I caved, I didn't want any suit till Min Heavy was out but the militia is so cack)

I tear people apart, even proto's. There is nothing wrong with them and I go solo. Just cus their heavy and have lots of health doesn't make them invulnerable - nor should they be. Use cover, close in on the target, get them from behind (yes its slow as hell but the reaction when you round that last corner and gun down 4 guys in a row is priceless)

Maybe I'm too used to running around with an SMG and a scout suit but I use the same tactics for all my characters.
What can I say, I hate stand up firefights. I like to outflank and win decisively.

You just described a scout you have no say in the matter a heavy is the point defense he soaks the bullets and takes a big gun to kill people. He is not meant to die easily, he is not meant to attack from the rear, he is meant to be out front doing damage and soaking rounds. If a heavy was meant to use scout tactics he would be a scout. More range or dispersion cut from 35% to 10%. And give the heavy more hp not to much to make it fair. Reasoning behind this Science thats why.

I believe I just described a TACTIC, not a suit characteristic But fine, if you want my suit to go round said corner and be even harder to kill then I won't complain. At the end of the day, the balance of the heavy is and should be that it is a healthier suit, not a harder one. Something that can indeed take more hits but is balance by the fact it can't reposition and be everywhere at once, should be vulnerable when alone and in the open and is harder to miss - exactly what it it now

Yes pubs as a HMG user is good but in PCs you are usually limited to 1 or 2 spots on a map. Holy crap this is old But what I think I meant is that if its a heavy with HMG, even back then, your f***ed "...where Bylothgar the Ill-postured was made King of the People With No Name But Decent Footwear"
