Cat Merc Ahrendee Mercenaries EoN. 4541	Posted - 2013.11.18 13:02:00 - [1] - Quote So I see a forge gunner. I close the distance since I have a shotgun... And he turns around. I think "Ok, I'm just 5 meters away, I'll start firing" 1 Shot, shields down. 2nd shot, 1/2 armor down 3rd shot... nope, forge gun charged and kills me. Am I the only one who sees a problem here?

In a scout suit. Jumping. This makes the Heavy seem even more badass if he managed to keep up with your jumping and strafing. That's just silly if it's even possible. A sniper can't do that, why the **** should a forge gunner do so? Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

Props for FG guy to be on the ground and not halfway somewhere on a roof/redline accross the map, shooting at moving pixels. Actually he was. I went inside the redline to get him.

I went inside the redline to get him. /facepalm Well at least he was on the ground .....i guess ... Redline sh*t kills needs to stop, in 1.7 theres gonna be 6 tanks in each redline if they dont fix the wp/kill gains from it. I hate the part where i close the objective, then realise ...wtf is my team of blueberry nuts....ah right they are all in the redline..then get gunned down by squad who want a piece of me .... I know right? I hold down an entire objective by my own, pwning everyone who spawns or tries to get in. But to hack it? My team mates are sniping somewhere off in the distance, being useless >_> Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

You either screwed up or the Forge was a stellar shot. You had all the advantage in the world in this situation, he wasn't on a tower accessible only by Dropships, he wasn't being constantly supported by repping nanohives, and you got inside of your optimal range in order to kill him and proceeded to drop the soap on this one. **** happens. It never happens to me with any other weapon :\ If I get within the required range, and I get at least one shot off, the enemy is always screwed.

Side to side as in switching direction back and forth? If so, just stick with one direction against forge heavies. If you can get within 5 or so meters, you move faster than people can turn which means the heavy can't hit you. Switching strafe directions can go badly because of the forge's blast radius.

You find that someone using an anti-material cannon that is a modified mining tool to shoot you up close as a "problem"? I do it all the ******* time to the snippity people that believe that because they have a drop on me that I'll panic and roll over to accept death. This is New Eden. Eat my Forge Gun. When I get up close, surprise you with a shotgun, that is a blaster, that is supposed to whoop your ass as long as I am in range, for you to have enough time to charge up a shot and blap me, that is ridiculous.

Swarm launcher is an AV weapon too but it can also be an anti-infantry weapon if you melee someone to death with it. Which, to be honest, is a lot more effective than trying to forge gun at three meters. Forge gun is, has always been and always will be a straight skill weapon, it's like a hip fire sniper rifle with an outrageous fire interval, so when someone actually does get a kill with it, they get all my respect. Uhh... I really don't understand you people. I use forge guns for ***** and gigglz from once in a while and it's really not that hard to hit targets in close range. I sometimes don't even bother to switch to my SMG. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

The first two shotgun blasts are warning shots. So 1000HP MedFrames get a chance to spray your 300HP Scout with Duvolle or ScR. Anything else would be unfair. Heavies, of course, also benefit from warning shots, but to a lesser degree. In this case, I think the Fatty just got lucky. Yay, shotty gobang. If you think so, then charges dropped. You I believe.

Your mistake was throwing away the element of surprise by firing on a heavy at a distance greater than point blank when you had the stealth advantage. Heavies have a considerable amount of health and you should act accordingly. And yes, the forge gunner killed you fair and square. Actually it's quite impressive that he or she managed to down you with a forge gun at close range; that's worthy of some applause. Applause? A weapon that can lock down an entire area from a safe distance AND perform in close range (It's not that hard) AND take down vehicles, basically making the only counter, dropships, null?

Since when do forge guns have a 10m effective range you have like 300HP. he got a lucky shot off close enough to you. but shame on him for redline forging (unless they were redlined). Nope, they weren't redlined. Shield regeneration bonus for Gallente Assault is about as useful as Sharpshooter for Nova Knives.

You are within 5m, wearing cardboard and newspapers for armor and complain when a gun that hits at 400+ splash kills you? QQ. Get gud scrub. If you were 100m away, then you can QQ about splash damage. But inside 5m all he has to do is shoot the ground below you and you will be sent flying. It's as hard as hitting the side of a barn from 10 feet away. Lesson to be learned? Don't run at a guy pointing a gun at you. I was jumping around.... He hit me in the air.
