Lots of vet heavies in here... agree with what they said. I'm far from teh best FPS player self admittedly, but I have seen my fair share of PC battles since the beginning to now. Its evolved into a a combination of things that go against the usefullness of the heavy/hmg combo, but the base strategy for ground combat in PC seems to be lots of grenade cooking while strafing/jumping like a rabbit, lag is prevalent, so fast moving suits have higher surviability than bulk HP.. due to the hit detection, framerate, lag issues whatever... landing shots with an HMG against an aware/skilled opponent is hard already, add in the other **** and it that much harder. In order for a heavy/hmg to be successful on the ground in most PC encounters, they require lots of support and "hand holding".. solid teams can carry a heavy, the best teams I've played dont bother even bringing any.
If we are to be point defense I understand that thought, but also think about the need to actually take said point in the first place. NOt gonna do that with a slow ass, huge hitbox, cant strafe worth a damn fat suit that sprays bullets out to 15m which then turn into flowers after that distance is passed lol.

I want to fight you in PC then.. because I'm dead to grenades or flanking sneaky scouts or other **** before I can even get in range to shoot at medium suits lol.
It would be interesting if they did something about the rampant grenade spam that is prevalent in almost every PC. I know grenades probably hurt everyone equally, just feels like they are the bane of my existance lately. |

Its been months since I had a logi with a rep tool to even attempt to support my lard ass around a ground battle in PC. WIth the latest buffs, perhaps it might be a viable option... perhaps. And that is until the cooked core locus grenades start a flying towards our slow asses.
IN pubs, yeah that combo is fun to run all day every day... but the changes heavies are asking for here in this thread are directly related to lack of success in PC. Someone like Aldin who simply responded "git gud" is considered by most to be one of the best players ever, not only heavy but other suits. Not sure what he does different, besides ALWAYS running with the best team on the block.. lol. Not all of us have that same luxury. Other names in here are also considered veteran and top tier heavies, gotta take what they say with some level of expertise in my humble opinion. |
