Perhaps people realize attempting to converse with you is worse than watching p0rn for the storyline.

story line*

English spelling never goes out of style.

*storyline

It was correct the first time.

"you're just bad, kid"

also did you test this before you quit or after?

I quit at the start of 1.5. I didn't use the HMG during that short time. Except once, when I was playing against DJNN Maurder, and his Scout walk right through my HMG and he killed me with a Shotgun. Even he admitted though, that it was lag, because that is supposed to be impossible. I know in 1.4 with the aim assist, it was a nightmare. And all before 1.3 I was an HMG regular.

The whole reason I put the game back on(which quite a few people do at every patch, then uninstall again) was because Shotty Go Bang said the shotguns were fixed; technically he was wrong. They aren't "fixed" they are just broken in the favor of the user now. You get kills when you completely miss an opponent, and still get blanks when your shot is on.

I've been using Shotguns like crazy since 1.6, trying to find some enjoyment out of them (I am finding a little, but only when the lag and bullsh*t is working in my favor, so its not very fair). But, I've been forced to use an AR in this game if I want any form of success. Even my SCR is not match for the Gallante Brick w/ Duvolle. So, I tried out the HMG. Before 1.4, my KDR with the HMG was around 20. So, I decided to try it out and see for myself what the forums were talking about.

Needless to say. Its beyond saving. I knew it was bad, because a HMG hasn't killed me yet since I've been playing 1.6, that was my first tell tale sign. The safest place to stand from an HMG seems to be right in front of it. After 10 games of using the HMG, I just quit using it. It was actually making me upset, like feeling down upset. The highlight of the night was (what my link displays) is when an Duvolle was able to shoot me dead(and I started shooting first) from 6m away. That is mathematically impossible. My screen was lit up with hitmarkers, but he still gunned me down from 6 f*cking meters away...

Don't do it, bro. Leave the bad poster alone!!!

Basically, CCP you have a lot of f*cking explaining to do...

Not in the way of making the HMG be effective, but how you think you have the right to build a game in the first place.

Whether we like the OP or not, he isn't exactly wrong here...

Explain this. Please, I'm begging you. Try to explain this:

Just a quick run down:
I have 600+ Shields/800+Armor. I use the MH-82
Notice the range in the picture.

i know this isn't going to get a blue tag, because CCP only answers to stuff they actually know they have the answer to, but I really want them to start looking at what's happening in their game instead of worrying about "added guns... turning up the action... removing BPOs..."

Do people in Iceland drive cars with only 3 tires, cracked engine blocks, and the top down in the winter??
Ever heard of the term putting the cart before the horse?

Make your game work, then maybe people will actually play it.

looks like a guy with prof 5 and 5 complex damage mods (or no damage mods) got behind you and spammed the crap out of your head whilst your were shooting somebody else?

a GEK does 600-700dmg in an instant.

The exile and toxin do 700-800 damage in an instant

so duvolle does 900-1000 damage in an instant.

Thanks for proving a point though, it doesn't matter how much you tank when your sprint speed is 5m/S, bullet damage and time to kill is slowly turning this game into a one-trick-pony, literally one class to rule them all!

From 6m away the Duvolle AA is just as strong as it is 50m away

He can strafe back and forth and not miss

The heavy with the HMG on the otherhand actually has to aim with the HMG, AA doesnt work on the HMG thus he has to aim and keep up with the Assault

Now if the assault was hitting him straight from the front the heavy should win but if the assault jumps about like a bunny on crack the heavy can still lose due to AR AA working and no AA for the HMG

If the assault hit the heavy from the back then hes dead basically

Either way the Duvolle doing 1500dmg in CQC range which is supposed to be the heavys and HMG bread and butter makes the heavy and the HMG obsolete

Storyline is not a word

the hmg is a cqc weapon right now. i'm not saying that makes sense. but in close quarters it's a beast now. step out side the front door and die, though :(

It is only a beast against new or very bad players in cqc, there is no chance 1 vs 1 against a duvolle even as a tanked proto with the HMG skills fully maxed out.
