to everyone who agrees with the title, you don't know what the hell you are talking about.
It's a statement based on a crap weapon (the HMG) and the fact that the suit is slow.
The only point defense comment from CCP was in relation to the sentinel (notice the name?) suit.
If you keep using this argument you are an echo-chamber talking tryhard idiot.
That is all. |

There should be multiple roles for heavy frame suits. Point defence being one of them. It is true that the HMG and/or TTK needs to be looked at, however if the HMG becomes effective at all ranges, or is buffed to the point that it can match AR versatility, you'll have yourself an overpowered heavy suit.
Let me be clear, the HMG does need to be more effective. I want it to be able to reach a tighter spread; to have less dispersion. But because the heavy suit has so much HP, it needs to sacrifice some DPS. Requiring 2 or 3 guys to take down one heavy will be game breaking. It will turn PC into "who can field the most heavies".
this thread has nothing to do with that.
it has everything to do with the fact that people screaming "heavies are for point defense!" are idiots. |

His presence should make anyone think twice before approaching a position. I'm not sure but it seems to me that a lot of the complaints about the ineffectiveness of the HMG stem from the fact that people want to use it to lead the charge into enemy territory. The HMG is not well suited for use in open areas but it comes into its own when used in outposts where targets are confined to narrow spaces. And at close range, the HMG is still very effective"
Let's have a closer look

Hang on, yet a closer look

The Sentinel
Where the flaming F**k does it say "heavy" or "HMG" in the quote? looks like they're talking about a specialist suit to me, Bob. |

the sentinel is a heavy, genius. go back to COD
But are all heavies sentinels?
You're an idjit. I play heavy pointman for squads routinely. it's hilarious.
oh wait, should i go back to my "stand over here box?"
So ah... exactly why should heavies be point blank idiocy only? The only evidence provided is anecdotal statement provided in reference to one out of the three classes of heavy suit.
Your argument is less than compelling. |
